Jack of Fables #33

Written by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges
Art by Russ Braun and Jose Marzan Jr.

The Great Fables Crossover is well underway, and the story is starting to take shape. Jack, Bigby, and Snow, along with Revise, the Page Sisters, Gary (who is now going to be Bigby's sidekick), and the rest of the Golden Boughs crew are going to hunt down Kevin Thorn before he has the chance to destroy reality.

Following the tradition of all comic cross-overs and team-ups, Jack and Bigby get into a fight that takes up a good deal of this issue, but now that it's out of the way, things can get started (except, of course, for the last page's events). This is looking like it's going to be a fun story, and as always with this title, it's the little character moments, like Snow White meeting up with Carl, the fourth little pig, that make the book.

Also of interest is a sub-plot set long ago and far away involving Jack's son with the Snow Queen. I'm not sure if that's going to be dealt with in the Crossover, or if Willingham and Sturges are setting the stage for the next storyline, and hoping to attract some new readers...
