In "Super Team" part 4, Ozma's super team is ready to fight, but there's a complication: Mister Dark isn't the only one of the Great Powers on the warpath. The North Wind just blew into town with bad news for Bigby: His ghostly son must die. Talk about bad timing! Remember when Bigby promised his father that "The next time I come after you, I've made arrangements to make sure I'm able to kill you"? That time is here! It's father vs. son. Will Bigby survive one battle so he can help with the other?
Another fine issue of Fables, and Im stoked for next months conclusion. Read Full Review
Elsewhere in this issue, Mister Dark makes final preparations before returning to Haven one last time to tear down Flycatcher's defenses. I'm still unsure exactly what Willingham is trying to accomplish with Mrs. Sprat in this arc. However, the writer does succeed in piling more menace and malice on Mister Dark while also revealing a chink in his armor. There's a strong sense of doom and fatalism in this arc, but also a tiny thread of optimism at work. As always, Fables is best when it's unpredictable. And as Willingham plays down the superhero aspects of this arc and focuses on the big guns, Fables is showing more of its usual charm again. Read Full Review
In spite of some intriguing drama, this issue serves only as a prelude for the next, undoubtedly action-packed part of what's bound to be a good, long story arc. Read Full Review
