Tom takes a journey into the pages of Moby Dick, which thankfully is less boring than actual Moby Dick. With help from Frankenstein's monster, he starts to figure out more about the source of his power. What he eventually discovers takes him on a strange trip (and I do mean it's trippy) into other whale-related texts, and echoes some of what happens in fellow Vertigo title Fables, and also an older Vertigo book: Neil Gaiman's Sandman, which I think it's fair to say is the grandfather of the current crop of story-themed comics.

I enjoyed the main part of the story but I'm less fond of the seemingly unrelated final issue about the horrible Pauly Bruckner. I'm not sure where it's going.

(Also, I want to note that some of the dialogue in this is in Hebrew, and I was able to make out the word "leviathan." Go me!)
