If I'm honest, this is a series that I've supported long past it's due. As a spin-off of the main
Fables comic it originally followed Jack of the Tales (Jack Horner) until his story was resolved in the Great Fables Cross-over and then it essentially handed the mantle over to his son, Jack Frost - and while those stories were fine - they were nowhere near as entertaining as watching Jack run around. So now the series has come to it's conclusion, and despite it's "epic" finale, it's just kind of... meh. It didn't feel like it really mattered, like it just had to happen. I'm glad it's over to be honest.
So here's my advice to those just getting into Fables - pick up the beginning of this series and read alongside Fables, but once you get to the cross-over, you can probably just keep up with Fables. No offense Jack, you just fell flat at the end.
