The allegedly legendary Jack of Fables has been through a lot of changes lately - big, bat-winged, fire-breathing changes - but one thing has remained reassuringly constant: a lot of people still want to nail his hide to the wall. Now, after countless centuries of having his mouth write checks that no other part of his body could cash, Jack's delinquent accounts are finally coming due. His swashbuckling son Jack Frost, the pistol-packing Page sisters, a wild man with an axe (er, sword) to grind and a busload of lost Fables looking for the promised land, are all making a beeline for Jack's hilltop hideout - and the epic brutality of their ensuing showdown promises to outshine even the tallest of Jack's fabled trove of tales.
