Book Reviews of Jack of Fables Vol. 1: The (Nearly) Great Escape
Book Review: AS GOOD AS THE REGULAR FABLE SERIES
Summary: 5 Stars
If you liked the original FABLE series then you will like this offshoot, especially if you liked the Jack character.
Tale follows Jack after his big incident in the regular series. I won't say what it was to avoid spoilers.
Kewl things about the first book of the JACK series:
1. We get to see a lot of Fable characters make their first appearance, like Alice in Wonderland.
2. We find out what happened to Goldilocks
3. Jack is caught by an evil Fable, who holds many other Fables hostage on a prison farm in Idaho. The big focus in this book is how Jack goes about escaping.
4. Pretty good humor.
Enjoy.
Summary of Jack of Fables Vol. 1: The (Nearly) Great Escape
Stepping out of Bill Willingham's acclaimed Vertigo series FABLES, the charming and insufferable Jack of Tales is the center of attention once again, this time in his very own ongoing title. In this first collection, Jack is thrown into a prison-like "retirement" community for wayward Fables, where he discovers a sinister plot to eliminate all traces of magic from the Mundane World.Written by Willingham and Matthew Sturges, THE (NEARLY) GREAT ESCAPE features art by Tony Akins and Andrew Pepoy as well as painted covers by James Jean and a special sketchbook section by Akins.
