I've said this before and I'll say it again, "The Unwritten" is the first series I've read since "The Sandman" which has such a unique vision and where stories and the power of words are at the centre of everything. Mike Carey and Peter Gross are an amazing duo and I truly do hope that they keep up the good work in "The Unwritten" and many more series to come.
Tom Taylor and his companions travel the world using a special map, fighting an ages-old cabal. In alternating chapters, the secret history of the cabal is told with art by the likes of Michael Kaluta, Gary Erskine, Gabriel Hernandez, Rick Geary, and Bryan Talbot. This continues to be one of the more interesting comic series being published today.
Some things answered, some more insight into the cabal...digging it!
Woah. I did not see that coming! Another great installment in the Unwritten series. Much longer than the previous volumes, this one goes more into the meat and bones of the makeup of the grid and how it works. The inclusion of ancient stories was awesome and ironic in how that proved the point. This is a great series and I have no idea where the story is going next!
Well, the story is still strong, parts of it ridiculously well written, and the cover art by Yuko Shimizu beautifully suited to the work as a whole. It is, in fact, one of the most intelligent and well-executed graphic novel series I've come across.
However. I am having a hard time with two things: everyone is white, and female characters are mostly in the token category.
In a story about the nature of reality, one where the friggin' collective unconscious gets an actual walk-on role, that's one hell of a glaring omission.
Unless Carey has cleverly chosen his characters to make a point about dominant paradigms, I am disappoint.

Pullman may be Cain, but making him squat and hairy, and darkening his skin tone a touch doesn't make him any less Caucasian. And let's not look too closely at Hexam's inability to add anything to the story once she sleeps with Tommy. Big fat eyeroll.In a story about the nature of reality, one where the friggin' collective unconscious gets an actual walk-on role, that's one hell of a glaring omission.

If Unwritten were a movie franchise, the first five volumes would make up the first film, and this volume, by itself, would be the sequel. So many questions answered in interesting ways. Several different origin stories for characters from the first film, and characters who will be important further down the line. A climatic fight scene. Wars. Blood. Violence. Purpose.
This is the only volume of the series that could, conceivably stand on its own. But you'd want more, so it's convenient that there are ten more volume, and a side story.
This book is also paced differently. Instead of presenting you with a main story, and either a prelude issue, or a side story at the end, the one major story throughout is broken up by the various origin stories. And it fits together really well.
I recommend this for anyone who enjoys the literary canon, HarryPotterfiles, or nyone who loves reading but isn't sure how they feel about whales.

I moved pretty slowly through this one. Short stories within a larger story always slow me down. Some of them were engaging, some of them felt like a chore to read, even if I understood their importance. Hoping some of the next volume pick up the story a bit more.
The big battle that has been building from issue number one finally happens and its pretty epic. Tom Taylor and his cohorts work to learn the Cabal's secrets and tear them apart. Their clash is big, bold, and has big ramifications. I did have little trouble completely grasping the secrets that were revealed. I'm big enough to admit I was scratching my head at times. The other issue I had were with the 5 point five issues. While on their own, they were all good reads but placed in between each issue of the big battle seemed to slow things down. Overall, a very good book that had a bunch of payoffs.
