The best part about this book is the writing of Bill Willingham. He has taken a comic book, wrapped it around some fairy tales, and thrown in every profile, stereotype, politically correct (PC) statement both positive and negative, and reason for rebellion all into one story. And the story revolves around Jack. That's the Jack of Fables. Every Jack you can think of, Little Jack Horner, Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack & Jill, etc, etc, etc. So this guy comes with a lot of belief driven power. Anyways he is captured and taken to what is presented as a retirement village for fables. Really it's an internment camp. The reason being, if they can keep them here long enough, people will forget about them. Once they forget about them, they no longer believe in them. And with no belief comes no power. Jack doesn't know this, but decides to try to break everyone out. It's mostly for his own purposes, but the others get caught up in the excitement of the scheme. But in the end, he may be the only one who doesn't make it out as he has a bagman close on his tail. We'll see what happens next issue.
