Jack of Fables Vol. 7: The New Adventures of Jack and Jack Review

Anyone who has read the Fables/Literals crossover in Fables Vol. 13 will remember the Deus Ex Machina in the end - many of us were disappointed with how it ended. This has its ramifications for this story, and doubtlessly it will for the next Fables volume as well. I'm still reeling from that Deus Ex Machina, because it was so terrible.

Fortunately, this book is better in other aspects. Jack Frost is a very likable character, and it's hard to not want to cheer him on as he goes on his hero quests to try to find out who he is and discover his own inner strengths. Jack Frost turns out to be a rather enjoyable character, and those of you who paid attention to the bit in Fables where Frau Totenkinder talked about Geppeto's puppets and the brushes she put a spell on will make a connection between the owl that befriends Jack and this bit of information.

It was also cool seeing the Pathetic Fallacy stand up for himself and get into Jack (Jack Senior/Jack Horner)'s face and yell at him and give him a what-for. It's hilarious to see the shirts Jack wears as he is going through his transformation. I was sad that Lumi didn't actually make an appearance in this novel - I was expecting her to be since she was on the cover. But overall, this is a pretty nice read, but it definitely would have been better if the Deus in the crossover had never happened.
