When Jack of Fables was announced, it seemed like a no-brainer. I loved the irascible Jack and enjoyed seeing how he interacted with the other Fables. Hil's Review: When Jack of Fables departed Fabletown never to be seen again, I shed a tiny tear. Written by Bill Willingham & Matthew Sturges It feels like it's dragging its heels just a touch, particularly in the extended opening sequence. This month, we get a slow-paced build up of things that will play out through the final four issues of this mini. But is this blood-drinker a true vampire or something worse?

And that's entertaining, even in the most horrific moments. Batman has always dealt with your men who wanted his tutelage, who embraced the idea of him as surrogate father. That spells trouble for Robin (and perhaps all of Gotham). The masterful fighter is also a spoiled brat who seeks daddy's love and approval by any means necessary.
