Written by Mike CareyArt by Peter Gross
According to the letter's page, this issue starts off the second act of The Unwritten. Certainly, this issue has a different feel to it, as Tom, armed with some real knowledge of the power of stories and how his 'magic' works, reunites with his friends Lizzie and Savoy.
The trio has decided to go after the Cabal, and their first order of business is to retrieve some of Wilson Taylor's possessions, which are about to be auctioned off. They figure that Wilson's diaries will be of help to them in their mission, but as they break into and explore the auction house, Tom goes on a few trips down memory lane. There's even a reference to Mr. Bun, the storybook bunny we saw last issue (which was brilliant).
There was a long stretch when this series began where I wasn't sure that I wanted to stick with this title. Now, as so many of the threads that Carey introduced early on in the story are beginning to intersect, I'm very glad I stuck it out. This is a deeply rewarding series.
