Jack of Fables Vol. 8: The Fulminate Blade ReviewThe eighth volume of Vertigo's "Jack of Fables" ongoing series, and the second since a major revamp in the series' premise, is a competent but unexceptional adventure story. Spoilers follow.
The series originally focused on Jack Horner, aka Jack of Fables, the Jack of many different fairy tales and stories. Jack was a selfish, greedy [...], and the series was basically his irreverent escapades around the world. However, concerned that, among other things, the character had become too unlikeable, he was eventually replaced as the lead character by his son (also named Jack). The new Jack is a very different character, and so the series is very different: we follow him as he attempts to become an epic hero. Where his father was selfish to a fault, Jack is selfless to the point of occasional stupidity. Occompanied by his talking wooden owl, in this particular volume he finds himself on a sci-fi-ish world where he must confront a despot and make sense of the tangled politics of the area.
It's a reasonably well-done story, with art and story elements that owe influences to Jack Kirby and Edgar Rice Burroughs, among others. However, there isn't a huge amount to really distinguish this collection from other adventure stories on the market.Jack of Fables Vol. 8: The Fulminate Blade OverviewWith Jack Horner, former star of JACK OF FABLES, permanently transformed into a dragon, Vertigo reboots the series with a new hero, Jack Frost.
The world in which this story takes place is the world in which Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers lived, only thousands of years later. All that remains is superstition and feudalism and all of the old technology is regarded as magic now. Jack seeks the magic blade which will defeat the Giant King. But of course nothing is as it seems since the good guys always reveal themselves to be evil in the end.
