I like this book. I really do. I just don't know where they come up with the stuff for this. I thought with Matthew Sturges influence, Bill Willingham's stories would seem less like an acid trip, but . . . . not so much. It's really almost like a nite at the improv. I feel like these guys are just winging it as they go. And wherever the story goes . . . the story goes. It's kind of a neat concept. And, it definitely keeps you guessing. And honestly, it's almost impossible to tell where these stories are going to end up.
Last issue basically all of our characters had jumped on a train and were heading to Americana. The home of the American fables. I think Huck Finn and Jim were in the same boxcar as the rest of our fellas. And Page. Anyways they get off in Steamboat. They're looking for a treasure that Humpty promised Jack. But they've got a little problem. The map was tattooed on Humpty's ass, and after the ride in the train, a piece is missing. But Page has found it. She won't cooperate with Jack though, unless he goes on her little mission with her though. They hop another train and go to Idyll. It a town filled with nothing but Zombies. Well . . except for the Librarian, that is. And that's who Page has come to see, because she believes him to be her father. He refutely denies it, and invites them in for a book burning that he's holding. She's dismayed, so they head back to Steamboat. Where next issue, they'll pick up on Jack's mission, to find his gold. Tell me that doesn't sound like a dream. Or an acid trip. Or something. I really don't know where they come up with this stuff. But, the story definitely keeps moving, and it keeps you guessing every step of the way. Cool stuff.
