  1. This is a 3-part miniseries that exists solely to be part of an interbook crossover. Have even the X-Men tried pulling that one?

  2. I very nearly got sucked in, but nope… *backs away*

  3. Well, I complained about wanting to know more about The Literals in last week’s Jack of Fables comment section, so it’d be darn right improper for me not to pick this up. It’s done by the usual team as well, so there’s even more reason for me to try it out. Here’s hoping that I get the answers I desired.

  4. Man, how will this story be traded? Will there be a Literals trade that is only 3 issues long? Unless it’s $9.99, that seems disappointing. I’m hoping it will all be 1 trade, but that doesn’t seem likely.

     

  5. wow this is going to be good lol but kinda odd…

  6. @Andrew: I’m hoping that the Literals, JoF, and Fables issues will be combined into the next Fables trade, and the same going for the JoF trade. That would probably make people not want to buy both trades, but if you lowered the price point (and obviously provided issues of each series before and after this crossover), I could see it working. I’d also like to see this story be collected into a trade by itself for a lower than average price point. As far as I know, the Literals book is only around for this cross-over, so I wouldn’t see the point of trading it.

    Good question!

  7. @ kwisdom they could always split the story and do the first half as a Fables trade and the second half as a JoF trade. i doubt it, but itd be cool for people who read both in trades (which i dont)

  8. @kwisdumb & mikeandzod21: As somebody who’s just discovered Fables in trade, I’m hoping they just trade this together as ‘The Great Fables Crossover." They could keep the same cover design they’ve been using for all of the books so far. Then they could just continue with standard volume numbering for Fables and JoF after the crossover.

  9. As a man who has just started getting into the Fables universe….I am so confused…

  10. The strength of this issue will determine whether I keep any Fable books on my pull list.  Since the end of the war things have been fairly good but I really have no interest in the crossover.

  11. i’m honestly more interested in the next story arc (at least i think it is based on the cover solicits for july) about mr. dark

  12. Ok, this issue kept me on for the Fable crossover, but only barely.  It needed to get me interested in the villain which it did succesfully however the twist on the last page was not terribly interesting.

  13. Ideally they collect it into a 9-issue trade that’s both part of the Fables and JoF trade series so that anyone only has to buy one trade: people reading Fables, people reading JoF and people reading both.

  14. Well, this was better than I thought it was going to be, and I’m going to keep reading it as a part of the Fables crossover. 3/5, so not stellar, but a good book that gave us a little bit of insight (although not as much as I was hoping). Definitely made me more interested in the villain.
