*The sky's the limit

The newly dragonified Jack of Fables has finally found contentment in the form of a huge pile of gold upon which he can rest his enormous, scaly bulk. Contentment, however, never makes for an interesting story - which is why Jack isn't the star of this exceptionally exciting collection.

Instead, his son Jack Frost takes center stage, travelling through a kaleidoscope of worlds in search of chivalric adventure and entry-level heroism. Along the way, his unique brand of open-hearted altruism will yield some cruelly valuable lessons regarding human nature - provided he can survive the endless waves of assassins that his efforts inevitably stir up.

After single-handedly (or so he claims) saving the world of Bill Willingham's FABLES, the increasingly insufferable JACK OF FABLES again shirks his responsibilities with THE FULMINATE BLADE, collecting issues 41-45 of his ongoing series and featuring stories by Willingham and Matthew Sturges and art by Tony Akins, Jim Fern, Andrew Pepoy and Joe Rubinstein.*

Varsinaiseen sarjaan täysin kuulumaton osa, joka on melkoinen "filleri". Tässä nimittäin nuori Jack (meidän Jackimme poika) seikkailee uransa alussa pahassa paikassa. Matkaan sattuu noitia, kuninkaita kuin mekaanisia olentoja. Aika paljon vitsaillaan aikuisten huumorilla kuten kannen kuvituksestakin voi päätellä... Tässä sarjakuvassa nuorukaisesta todella "tulee" mies...

Ihan kiva tarina, jossa nuorukaisen naïvius todella tulee esiin...

Kuvitus on aikuisille.
