Fables can't hold Jack of the Tales

Tuesday, July 25, 2006 - Soon Van

Jack of Fables #1

Jack of Fables #1; written by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges, art by Tony Akins and Andrey Pepoy, James Jean cover

It's the tale of tales to run off with not only the money from the kitty but the dogs of all the secrets and misadventures of the group that makes the deal that more golden.

Everyone's favorite trickster is back -- now in his own monthly series. After stealing money from Fabletown and pissing off all the wrong people, Jack of the Tales -- who is at once every Jack of legend -- was booted out of the Fables community. But for Jack, there was no better way to strike back than starring in his own series.

Last seen hitchhiking from Hollywood after releasing a trilogy of films (about himself) that made him an international superstar, the series follows Jack's immediate adventures as a wayward Fable in the heartland of America. His extreme road stories and encounters with other notorious, renegade Fables are just a few of the situations in store for this fan-favorite character of the Fables series.

Jack of Fables #1


There's a head on with Top Cow and Mazda bringing Revved: The Beginning. Hanging out in the back seat, Jeremy Hall and David Nakayama.

Taken from the anniversary hard cover of Image Comics, Savage Dragon #0. From the massive hands of Erik Larsen it's the origin of the fin-head like probably seen before.

Also from the Big I and Larsen, with artist Francesco, She Dragon. Events spilling from this lead directly into Savage Dragon meeting up with the crew of Wanted.

On the highway of IDW Publishing, there are brains and savage Orwellian monstrosities ahead. For the mature readers (kids, get away from that section) music video director Todd Lincoln and Martin Schenk take readers on a Road To Hell.

There ain't no JJ Walker here, but it is double Dynamite. Xena comes fly kicking through the stands with John Layman and Fabiano Neves handling honours.

And there can be only one before the one (unless there are negatives) with Highlander #0. Brandon Jerwa and Michael Avon Oeming, with art by Lee Moder, open a neck that squirts from the events of the first movie starring Raiden.

Make mayhem Marvel as Zeb Wells and Stefano Caselli power crunch Civil War: Young Avengers And Runaways. Whose side is the right side?
