This book is pretty cool. I really like the beginning. Jack has woken up in someone else's life. And, as has happened so many time before, he's woken up right in the middle of some relations with the persons wife, girlfriend, mistress, acquaintance, whore . . . . whatever. This time it's his wife though. Anyways, it's happened so many times that he's learned a couple of things. First don't question it, go with the flow, hit it don't quit it, and sort out the rest later. Second he's learned, " . . it's smart to play for time while you recall the important details. Her name for instance. You want to be clear exactly who you're dealing with first." Not a bad philosophy to live by. Anyways, Jack's in Vegas. Vegas, Baby!! And the reason he's in Vegas is because he's lost everything. Well he hooks up with one of the other Fables, who seems to have a huge lucky streak, and is trying to win it all back. Well of course they're going to think he's cheating, and get thrown out on his ass. But, in the process he meets a wealthy heiress, woos her, and marries her. Which is where we picked up in the beginning. But there's other forces at play in the background, that are out to get him. Or are they after his wife? Unfortunately we won't be able to find out until next issue. Bill Willingham's stories are awesome. He puts so many cool ideas into his scripts. And Tony Akins art is just about perfect for this book. This is one of those books that really is an indulgence. But it's hard to resist when it tastes oh so good. Try it.
