Batman and Bigby call a cease-fire as the city recovers from a night of violence, and evidence of a shared enemy surfaces when Gotham’s magical connection to Fabletown is revealed. But with egos at stake and wounds to lick, will a common cause be enough to transform this tenuous truce into a heroic alliance?
Batman Vs Bigby #4 comes together wonderfully as background details are filled in. Interestingly, Bookworm jumps out as the star of this issue as the extent of his competency is revealed. It's also gratifying to see Batman and Bigby finally working together, even if they maybe haven't got it all figured out just yet. What is clear though, is that the last two issues will be barn burners, because this has been the best issue of the series so far! Read Full Review

There is maybe a little too much exposition about the nature of the Fables-verse, but we do get a better perspective of exactly where in this timeline we are and what might be happening back in Fabletown. Read Full Review
Brian Level does some great work with the art in the issue. The panels and pages look like illustrations from a novel and that style works well with the aesthetic of the story. Read Full Review
The further this story goes, the fewer redeeming elements there are to be found and it's difficult to not think this is a concept that would have been better left for fans of both franchises to simply imagine. Read Full Review
This is how these two meet up, huh.
Bookworm is an interesting idea for sure, but the execution lacks that interest.
Batman vs Bigby is an oddball little crossover that's turning out to be much more casual and dull than it should be.
It may have a fun element to its concept, but I give up.
Bill Willingham has a loud and clear message: if you have an IQ over 50, then this is not for you.
