Summary: Unexpected but fun
Comment: The story of the Revise family continues to unfold... it feels weird to think of concepts as real persons (the Pathetic Fallacy, for one) and I have been enjoying Jack's story as much as I have been enjoying the mainstream Fables series. And I also enjoy Jack's attitude and glib comments (especially towards the third Page sister) Overall, this was a lot of fun to read, and I am anxious to see what else Jack will do next! :)

Summary: Jack on a Treasure Hunt through the Americana Folklore Landscape..and we get ZOMBIES!
Comment: Sly, greedy, self-centered, up-to-no-good Jack is back, and he's on a hunt for the treasure of Cibola. Accompanied by Raven (who had previously--erroneously--been Wicked John's companion), a glued-back-together Humpty Dumpty (with one key missing eggshell piece), and the Pathetic Fallacy, he's off to get the loot.
But Jackie-boy and his sometimes quite-reluctant crew are gonna have to deal with another quester crossing their path: One of the Page sisters who has a personal mission into Americana, and she's got a regrowing Paul Bunyan and the hilarious Babe the Blue Ox (still having snarfolicious fantasy adventures in his own head) for bodyguards.
If you like zombies, be prepared for a hilarious use of them (and a social commentary, no doubt, about the "good old days" of the American pre-sixties heydays). A new character--powerful and sinister--is met up with, too. There's a touch of roaring 20's speakeasy days fun as well. And boinking, cause it's Jack, after all.
When Jack's Americana adventure is concluded, there's a detour to a one-shot story: "Gary Does Denmark," where the Pathetic Fallacy tries to put on Hamlet with Fabley folk, and you know it's just not gonna go easy or work out normally.
Enjoy.
