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.
