Also, Jack hides all the gold in his suitcase of holding, leaving most of his group screwed after they run off with the pack animals. Outro - retconned characters assembled in army to wreak havoc. Need to re-read previous issues due to not taking notes on this guy who assembled them.

Looking forward to "Issue after next, I discover a magic orb that turns me into the master of the universe and allows me to go back in time and make out with Audrey Hepburn:inarguably the greatest hottie of all time."

Jack of Fables #21

After the unabashed awesomeness of the previous issue capping off the eggman caper, this is a huge letdown. From reading online, nobody can tell Wicked John from Jack, which is a big part of how this story is supposed to work. It's just a flashback to the Pathetic Fallacy trying to put on a Shakespearian play in the retirement community. Nothing too exciting.. :( Still love the series.

Drafted #6

Dear god, nothing is happening. Apparently something happened somewhere at some point, but this is a pointless series. BUY NO MORE! GIVE TO JOE!

Authority Prime #6

Caps off the series. Climactic fight between clone Bendix(w/all Authority powers) and Authority. Spirit of Murder regains senses, takes him down. OR DOES SHE?!
