  1. stuclach stuclach says:

    Love that cover. Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and a whale in front of a tropical estate.  Who could say no?  Ed Brubaker can’t.

  2. rockingeek rockingeek says:

    The secret history of the Uwritten… I love this book.

  3. edward says:

    jesus christ, brubaker must have pulled that quote out of his arse.

     what the fuck is the "Harry Potter-obsessed-chaotic-apocalptic" zeitgeist? 

     

    I’m digging this book though. it has really developed nicely

  4. TheTaken TheTaken says:

    Just might be my favorite book right now. 

  5. robbydzwonar robbydzwonar says:

    I’m so down for this. I can’t get enough of Vertigo these days.  I’m more about Vertigo then I was about the DC Universe a month ago.

  6. What’s the next Vertigo $1 ongoing?

  7. balsalm balsalm says:

    I hope this issue is as good as the last one.

  8. robbydzwonar robbydzwonar says:

    @miyamotofreak: I think Sweet Tooth was the last one that I heard about.  Still no December solicits anywhere yet…

  9. BrianBaer BrianBaer says:

    This has quickly become my favorite book. I hope they can keep it up.

  10. VelcroKing VelcroKing says:

    My shop didn’t get this for some reason, I’m a bit miffed.

  11. IroncladMerc says:

    Missed out on #2, no store around has it, so waiting for the trade.

  12. ProjectX2 ProjectX2 says:

    Wasn’t sure about this issue at the start but by the end I was satisfied. Very interesting read. The Unwritten is becoming one of my favourite ongoings.

  13. stuclach stuclach says:

    Now that I have read the issue and been reminded of the breadth of Mr. Kipling’s work, I’m slighlty embarassed that I made light of the cover.  It is clearly a very well done tribute/tour of Mr. Kipling’s work.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this issue.  It felt like a considerable departure from the last three, but revealed some seemingly important pieces of the backstory.  This is likely my favorite issue of the series.

  14. rockingeek rockingeek says:

    Mindblowing shit. This is fucking tight. It talked to me. This book talks to me directly.

  15. CatEyedFox CatEyedFox says:

    This issue was superb! And now I want to read Kipling again.

  16. jsbx says:

    An ever execellent ongoing.  I agree, I want to read Kipling now, too.

  17. Crippler Crippler says:

    This issues capitalizes on some of the promises made by the first issue.  Fucking awesome.  To really appreciate how good this is, you need to familiarize yourself a bit with Kipling’s life.  This story fits most of the major events in and gives an excellent alternate explanation for some of them.  I am in love with this series. 

  18. I just notice this one got significantly less pulls.

  19. theegreatone theegreatone says:

    I wasn’t sure about The Unwritten af first but now I am sold.

    Smitten

  21. Archr5 Archr5 says:

    This book is fantastic issue after issue.

  22. Cranpa Cranpa says:

    This series is shaping up nicely. One of the best single issues I’ve read all year. A nice reminder of how comics can tell stories like no other medium.

    Too bad there wasn’t enough love for Carey’s ‘Crossing Midnight’. I was a big fan of that too.
