As I've said before, I really think that Bill Willingham is toasted when he writes these stories. Either that, or he has the imagination of an 8 year old. That's a compliment by the way. The story-arc we're on now is trying to explain about how "Prince John" came first, and "Prince Jack" is actually a copy of him. The story is being told by Jack's little pal, Gary. Who is actually a "great power", but we don't know all the details on that yet. Also in this book, Golden Boroughs has sent some agents to retrieve the guy in the apartment who was writing all the books. Apparently he thought he was collecting volumes of Fable lore, but actually all the tombs we're hand written, by himself. He just didn't know it. It wasn't until he tried to show his research to someone else that he was found out. He was turned in by his dog. I guess a spy that was sent to watch him a long time ago. When asked by the agents why he didn't call sooner, he replied "Who knew what he was writing? I can't read." And this guy is also considered a "great power". As is Mr. Revise. So I'm guessing the "great power" thing has something to do with the people who are actually the creative force behind these stories. The writers and artists and such. But, I'm just guessing. But as I said before, the essence of this particular story-arc is to sort out this mess between the 2 "Princes". We really haven't even gotten in to the whole "sword in the stone" thing. Or . . . sword in Jack's chest. But that's what I like about Bill's stories. Even though sometimes they're out there, there's always a lot of stuff going on. And sooner or later, some how, it all gets connected. If it's far-fetched . . . that's ok. These are stories about Fables after all.
