A review by buer
Jack of Fables, Vol. 1: The (Nearly) Great Escape by Bill Willingham

4.0

Bill Willingham is the shit. He takes characters we all grew up with and breathes new life into them. Characters who only ever received a few lines of attention in their original stories grow up and are fleshed out in unexpected but completely believable ways.

This is the first in a branch off series from Willing harm's original Fables series and it's good, but it's also obviously an introduction. Because of that the story occasionally lags as Willingham introduces us to characters and the world that he has created, but for the most part it's just a really great story with fun characters.
