This was horrible! It almost stopped me from continuing the Fables series – so please do yourself a favor and skip this one. The Great Fables Crossover is (as the title suggests) a crossover between Jack of Fables – the Jack spinoff – and the main story arc of Fables. In it, Jack comes back to Fabletown to jointly battle The Literals, a family that embodies literary notions (like writer’s block or genre fiction etc.). In the span of the story Kevin Thorn, a Literal and possibly the creator of the Fables story, threatens to rewrite the entire universe. Even though Jack has never been my favorite Fables character, I originally really liked the idea of a crossover. However, most of the edition is dedicated to the so-called Literals. While this might have seemed like a clever idea for the authors, it wasn’t fun to read. For me, the story felt like an inside joke the reader wasn’t part of. I felt confused and left out. Moreover, most of newly introduced characters were quite flat and a lot of their jokes felt slightly childish.
