Fables #94

Written by Bill Willingham

After two issues of interlude in Haven (and some noticeable schedule issues), we're back on the Farm, picking up right where we last saw our assembled heroes, as the Blue Fairy suddenly shows up and goes after Geppetto, although Pinocchio has more than a few issues to resolve with his 'mother' and intervenes.

What follows is more of the same from the more recent pre-Haven issues.  The collected Fables are making preparations to deal with Mister Dark, Geppetto is working to take over, Frau Totenkinder is collecting intelligence on Mister Dark, as is Ozma's cat.  There is plenty of realpolitick taking place on the farm these days, and it's interesting to sit back and watch.

This issue features a cover by Joao Ruas, and it's the first one since James Jean left that has really popped off the stand, or has done something new with regards to logo layout and general design.
