This is a pretty cool book. I mean we all know that comics are fables anyways. Right? I am right? Right? Anyways, between this series and Fables, Bill Willingham has made that literal. He's brought all those stories of old, and put a modern twist on them. It's almost like, here's what was really happening while you were being told the story you were being told. So the premise of this book was, who's the most famous fable character (?), Jack, and let's look at things from his perspective. Which is whimsical, malevolent, full of guile, and very skewed. In this tale, Jack, along with John Henry, Pecos Bill and Alice are still trying to evade the Bagmen and the retrieval vans. After their recent break out. They've been hiding it the snow covered mountains. The other three have noticed that jack doesn't seem as affected by the cold as they are. So, in order to explain, he has to go through the story of how he became Jack Frost. Remember, he's every Jack of any fable. Jack & the Beanstalk, Jack-O-Lantern, Jack & Jill, Jack Frost, all of them. This issue is drawn by Steve Leialoha, it's nice to have him on board. Matthew Sturges and Bill Willingham write it. Matt has been on board since last issue. So I'm wondering if he's going to be taking over for Bill. I hope not, Bill has a certain style that I like. But before I get to worried, I'll just wait and see how it unfolds. Good series, though.
