Fables Vol. 13: The Great Fables Crossover

by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges

I have mixed feelings about this one, which is appropriate given that it's a mix of Fables and Jack of Fables storylines. If you glance over the ratings I've given each of those series, it's pretty obvious that I prefer the main Fables books over the Jack spinoff. The purpose of the crossover was to bring the main Fables characters into the Literals drama, and I was disappointed that the dark villain storyline from Fables almost ground to a halt while all the Literals took over. In the end, I don't feel like the Fables characters had much impact on the resolution of the story, which makes me think the crossover was an economic decision and not a creative one.

On the bright side, it seems like a good place to stop following the Jack of Fables series.
