Jack Of Fables Vol. 5

by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges

My least favorite volume in the series so far, mainly due to the dreadfully boring first half, which is a 3-issue story about why Jack and Bigby Wolf don't get along. Could have been interesting, but between the dryness of the plot and the distracting historical facts that are inserted every few frames, it just dragged.

The second half of the volume gets back to the war brewing between the Literals, and although this whole series has only gotten a halfhearted response from me compared to the main Fables series, the way Jack's current danger is solved is wonderfully amusing.
