5 and 6.12: The Fulminate Blade and The End (Jack of Fables Volumes 8 and 9), by Willinham, Sturges, Akins, Fern/Braun, Pepoy (2011 trade paperbacks, issues 41-45 and 46-50)

 It's the end of the road for our hero Jack of Fables, the charming bad-boy featured in a 50 issue spin off of Bill Willingham's fantastic Fables series. I did a relatively lengthy write up for a combined posting of trades 5-7, so you can check out some of the back story there to learn what it's all about.

The raucous tales of Jack--and his son Jack Frost--gallop over these final pages, complete with favorite characters and a few new ones as well. Fare thee well, Jack. See you between the pages of your many fairytales.
