The story: The war against the Adversary has been won and all seems to be well in Fable Town, much to my relief. I had feared that with the main story thread finally wrapping up, this series may have [...]

While I appreciate and enjoyed the story presented in this issue, I’ve got to admit I was a bit let down by the lack of “horror” elements. I guess this place can’t be scary all the time. Instead, HoM #2 [...]

Last issue we got introduced to the members of Young Liars. This issue we get the “origin” story of Danny and how he first met Sadie. Like one can expect, his former life is a depressing one. Danny is the lovable loser, just trying to get by [...]

Another excellent issue in the can by Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera. It feels like it’s been forever since I read the last issue, but I’m pretty sure the book’s coming out on time. I think it might be because this story arc has been flowing [...]
