This book is just absurd. It really is. Bookburner is barring down on the Golden Boughs, and Jack has replaced Revise as the Commander in Chief. Revise had to step down because Gary . . the pathetic fallacy . . told him to. And since he is Revise's grand-father . . I guess he's the senior member here. Meanwhile, upon reviewing his troops, Bookburner has told Paul to go ahead and start attacking the Fables magic shielding that surrounds the compound. And Kevin and Priscilla have finally made their way to New York City. They traveled all the way across the country to go to his old apartment and retrieve his pen. Now, they may be able to win the war. Are you feeling a little lost? That's the way every issue of this book is. There's all of this absurd stuff . . that doesn't always make sense, or seem very logical. And there's no way that it should all be connected. But they are. I swear Bill Willingham eats some magic brownies, or something, before he writes this book. Have you ever seen That 70's Show? Well, they always end up in Forman's basement sitting in their 'circle', getting high. The things they talk about, and the ideas they come up with are hilarious. Mostly because they don't make any sense. But to them . . it all fits together. And it sounds perfectly reasonable and plausible. Well that how I feel about this book. When the ideas came up, they probably made sense, and maybe even seemed . . . coherent. But now? Uh . . I don't know. And what's up with Paul's blue Ox? He is definitely stoned or something.
