100 by 30: book 22 - Fables 11-13

Fables vol. 11 - War & Pieces - So after all the hippy lovey stuff of the last volume, Volume 11 covers the war to defeat the advarsary. So Prince Charming, Sinbad, and their super awesome sky ship fly around shooting the crap out of everything, because Guns have a longer range than spells. It's spectacularly violent, and the war goes pretty great. Turns out Sleeping Beauty is a pretty effective WMD. If you're confused by that last sentence, go watch the Disney movie and imagine someone getting her to prick her finger in a highly populated area filled with the leaders of your opposition.
10/10

Vol 12 - The Dark Ages - So for reasons I won't go into here, Gepetto is forced to become a member of Fabletown. He's still an asshole and every one hates him except Pinoccio. Also, the fables have greated a huge power vacuum be wiping out the empire and a couple of plunderers accidently unleash a new big bad you destroys Fabletown and kills a major character. It's pretty sad. All the Fables have to move up to the Farm in the country where the non-human fables live. And the animals lure Gepetto into the woods and bury the evil bastard alive. It's pretty great.

Vol 13 - The Great Fables Crossover - Holy Super Meta storytelling Batman! So Jack of the beanstalk fame was kicked out of fabletown a while ago and started his own comic book series, because who needs an ensemble, right? In this story, he comes back, bringing a lot of meta narrative silliness with him. Having not read any of the Jack of Fables books, I felt very, very lost. There was something about literals, and a guy with a magic pen who's twin brother is Writer's Block and at on point there was a shoot out between our heroes and the genres until the big bad wolf who was turned into a little girl snuck around and ripped all the genres heads off and Dex the embodiment of the Deus Ex Machina showed up but not until it was time for the denouement which happened after Rose Red has sex with Jack causing the animals to think he's a god and something about his bastard son being jack frost, you know, this is ridiculous, I'll be write back......
