Connor Wolf has taken a shine to a wandering hero who has plans to teach Connor all he knows. They'll make daring rescues and slay monsters, but when the pair comes across Old Sam in the Black Forest, Connor discovers that his mentor's sense of adventure has a cruel streak. Plus, a French bistro in New York becomes a dueling ground as Greenjack makes a dramatic entrance to square off against Pan.

Buckingham delivers some beautiful art in the issue. I continue to be impressed visually with the world being created as well as the wonderful framing of each page. Read Full Review

This still leaves one of the children out on her adventure while other stories continue as well when the new Jack gets arrested after hunting down Peter Pan (offering some commentary on the bizarre ways on how laws work in the real world).

Willingham couldn't help himself, Fables 156 is a weird turn for what so far has been a really, solid series. The heavy-handed reactionary writing feels way too overt and in your face it's distracting.
Buckingham's art continues to be amazing, wonder where the hell this is going as the tale remains to be unpredictable, and that's still a good thing.
