The Unwritten 54 Reviews
The Unwritten Fables Event comes to a close in this past Wednesday’s issue (#54). Bill and Mike are both very proud of how it all turned out and wanted to share some of the reviews for it.
Ain’t It Cool News
Review by: Optimus Douche
“It was a wonderful and glorious “what if” bloodbath that was many shades darker than the actual final battle with Dark in FABLES. Snow White as Dark’s bride was delectably evil, with the cherub-faced wolf cubs more eerie than the twins from THE SHINING.”

The MacGuffin
Review by: MattLeMaire
“This crossover shows that not only was it necessary, but it speaks to the entire nature of the series itself, looking at what is, what might be, what may never be all at once.”
“What has been fascinating about not only this arc, but the book in general, has been the way that Carey and Gross have deconstructed the way we think about stories and their implications. This Fables crossover has shown that while we often think of stories as a separate entity from reality, the truth is far more complex–perhaps simple, depending on how you look at it. ”
“Gross and Buckingham show that they are masters of this world, capturing the grit, violence and destruction as this crossover comes to a close.”
“THE UNWRITTEN is brilliant, and issue #54 is a fine example of what this book and its creators can accomplish. Moreover, this is a book that consistently leaves me questioning the nature of stories and the effects that they have on the world and our belief systems. That this book has such an effect on me is nothing short of amazing, and I cannot recommend picking this up enough. You’ve got a few months before it starts up again to catch up, folks, so get on it. You will not be disappointed.”
