( ) Oh that's a turn of phrase. So I've decided that I'm going to read the Fables serieses(sp?) in published order, with a bit of jumping around. That includes: All combined into the overall Fables Universe. For the first outing, [b:Jack of Fables, Vol. 1: The (Nearly) Great Escape|21341|Jack of Fables, Vol. 1 The (Nearly) Great Escape|Bill Willingham|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1375393716l/21341._SY75_.jpg|2239934] is quite a story. After the events of [b:Fables, Vol. 6: Homelands|21328|Fables, Vol. 6 Homelands|Bill Willingham|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327962707l/21328._SX50_.jpg|1425228], Jack is on the run, only to be captured by some sort of Men in Black feeling organization that wants to do study and depower Fables. Cool concept, kind of terrifying execution. And hey, Goldilocks survived after all. Called that. It's a crazy wonderful tale and I'm glad I read it here. Makes sense before everything continues to go mad. Spoilery images: That is quite the character. Beauty and the Beast eat your heart out. Even more so when they go to escape: It's a (temporarily) sentient fence. Egg-based life. That is all. Also Goldilocks be very very strange. And then you get the downright Lovecraftian Bag Men. I want to know more about that... Of course Fabletown's most obnoxious character, Jack (the Giant Killer, and the Beanstalk, etc, etc), has to be given his whole own series... As much as I'm intrigued by the plethora of new Librarian characters, I find Jack himself to be a completely attrocious character due to his behavior. He really is rotten to the core, and he doesn't have any respect for anyone (including himself in many cases). I'm going to keep reading, if only to fill in the parts of the story where this series crosses over with the regular Fables storyline. Jack Horner/Jack the Giant-Killer is a big shot in Hollywood, but when he walks away from it, he is captured and brought to a “retirement home” for Fables. Really, it’s a prison and they aren’t allowed to leave. Jack manages to convince the others to try to escape. I quite enjoyed this! As with all the Fables graphic novels, the illustrations are amazing. I enjoyed the little gallery at the end of various sketches of some of the characters, as well. I liked the new characters at the prison, the Page sisters (called “librarians” but really, their jobs have them in “Retrievals”, “Security” and “Research”). I will definitely be continuing this spin-off series! (Now, if only I would go back and finish the original Fables series – I only have a couple more to go!) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
