As the free Fables struggle to regroup following the destruction of their New York City stronghold, they are suddenly faced with a wholly new menace - one that threatens not only their adopted planet, but all of reality itself!
Against such a terrible power, can even the combined abilities of these legendary storybook heroes prevail? Only one thing is certain: once the battle is joined, the world of Fables will never be the same!
Deftly crafted by writers Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges and artists Mark Buckingham, Russ Braun, Tony Akins, Andrew Pepoy, José Marzan, Jr. and Dan Green.
Collecting: Fables 83-85, Jack of Fables 33-35, The Literals 1-3

Crossover between Fables, which I read and enjoy, and Jack of Fables, which I studiously avoid. Didn't result in a good mix.
I like the central question of the crossover - What if god had writer's block? - but the execution tried really awkwardly to mix two different casts and writing styles, and the result didn't work for me at all. Too much cutesy, self-referential humour and not enough of the insight and compelling characters that are what I read Fables for. Especially after the Mr. Dark story got started in the last volume, this was unsatisfying.
