Oy. Jack of Fables should probably have ended back with [b:Jack of Fables, Vol. 6: The Big Book of War|6378575|Jack of Fables, Vol. 6 The Big Book of War|Bill Willingham|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1375395534l/6378575._SY75_.jpg|6566346]. It wrapped up everything nicely enough. Instead it just keeps going. But here, we have a finale! Except... everyone dies Not even kidding. After we've come to know and love all these characters, the big finale is them all getting together for one last battle ... and every one of them dies. I guess that's one way to end a series.

Sucks.



Heh. It's funny because dragon. I guess. Why does Gary stick around with him?

The sections with this art style are at least pretty amusing, specifically because of the style.



Woo Page sisters. Who for some reason are carrying around a baby? When did that happen? And then the baby is sent to his father, never to be seen again.



Oh right. John. He's still around. Only to die like everyone else.

That was kind of a bummer ending to what was never my favorite of the Fables series. So it goes. Onward and back to Fairest and the mainline for the last few! ( )

The series was slowing down so The End was welcomed and good timing. Last issue was great. ( )

What a total cop-out. This series was fairly amusing (although not as good as Fables) but the last two volumes were not as good as the rest. The ending was disappointing, seeing as how everybody died for no good reason at all. It was as if the writers just really got tired of the story and hated the characters . The only clever part of the story was when all the manifestations of the devil came to collect Jack's soul after he was dead, and his ghost slipped away while they were fighting over him. . Also, there was an unforgivable art "typo" near the beginning...for several panels we see Jack Frost inexplicably without his eyepatch.
