I have mentioned before now that entry points into many comic series can be very difficult due to long, over-arching story lines. The
Fables saga, including the spin-off series
Jack of Fables, is one such example. Fortunately, volume seven of
Jack (it collects issues 36 to 40 of the monthly comic) is an ideal jumping-on point. The preceding massive and involved conflict, in which Jack helps to save just about everything, ended in volume six. This book is a light-hearted start at a new arc.
Jack of Fables:
The New Adventures of Jack and Jack by Bill Willingham, Matthew Sturges, Chris Roberson, Russ Braun and Tony Akins is published by Vertigo and costs $14.99. A review of this graphic novel will appear in the BFS' newsletter,
Prism.
