Written by Chris RobersonArt by Shawn McManus
Roberson and McManus's second Cinderella series is a lot of fun. Cindy is helping an old acquaintance, Ivan, escape from the crosshairs of Dorothy Gale, an assassin that has been sent by the leader of the Russian fables to kill him. Their quest to take out Dorothy before she can kill Ivan takes them to Thailand, where one of the heads of the 'Shadow Fabletown' lives.
What makes this book work so well are the numerous flashbacks to previous missions where Cindy ran in to Dorothy. The story of the Russian castle that began last issue is resolved, and an adventure from the 80s in Thailand is started. As well, we get a glimpse of Dorothy's only visit to Fabletown in the 40s.
Roberson has a good handle on Cinderella, and writes her much as Bill Willingham does in the mothership title. McManus's art is always great, and works very well on this book.
