Another insightful story by Bill Willingham. This one wraps up the Jack Frost storyline. Basically Jack convinced the Ice Queen to give him her powers until she felt better. But once he got them . . . he bolted. He's Jack. I mean, that's his nature. So now that he has god-like powers, what does he want to do with them? Well . . . . get women of course. That's also in Jack's nature. But being Jack Frost comes with . . . you guessed it . . . cold. And I don't mean . . a little nippy . . . there's a chill in the air . . . cold. We're talking Antarctica cold here. And he finds out when he meets someone he doesn't have a whole lot of time until it overwhelms the person he's with. So he dispenses with the frivolities and starts jumping right to the heart of the matter, " . . . as you can see, I'm achingly handsome, but I'm also all powerful and rich. Any chance you have a break coming soon and a room handy?" Long story short, the Ice Queen gets the help of her sisters, Spring, Summer and Fall, and they go and retrieve Jack and get the Queen her powers back. Oh yeah . . . in the process of all this, the Queen has Jack's son. Although he doubts that, I'm thinking . . . it's probably true. That would certainly put a twist on Jack's stories here. But I don't think we'll find that out for sure for a long time. That's going to be one of those story-lines that's going to be hanging about in the shadows for quite some time. At least that's what I think. Overall this is a very entertaining book.
