Start your review of Jack of Fables Vol. 9: The Ultimate Jack of Fables Story of Fables, Vol. Apr 10, Chad rated it it was ok Shelves: This book has taken a real nose dive now that Jack of the Tales has been replaced by his son, Jack Frost. It's an interesting direction to take the book, to completely remove the main character and all the supporting characters from Jack of Fables Vol. 9: The Ultimate Jack of Fables Story book. The problem is that Jack Frost is earnest and wholesome, everything that Jack Horner is devoid of. Unfortunately, without Jack Horner the book is also devoid of fun and humor and everything that made the book interesting. This a bland story set in an odd sci- This book has taken a real nose dive now that Jack of the Tales has been replaced by his son, Jack Frost. A real disappointment to say the least. Jan 18, Quentin Wallace rated it really liked it. This volume features Jack Frost and his wooden owl in an old school story. Most of the story is based around John Carter of Mars, but there's also touches of Flash Gordon and some other pulp style sci fi. The art isn't bad and the story is entertaining, but really it seems a little pointless. The Fables series is built around a continuing narrative that always seems like it's leading somewhere. This one wasn't bad but didn't seem to be going anywhere. Not bad, just not great. Jun 08, Steve rated it liked it Shelves: comics. I vowed never to read this book again, but the library had it so I figured what the hell. Probably my favorite trade from this series, because the main character of the book isn't in it at all. Too bad those stupid Babe the Blue Jack of Fables Vol. 9: The Ultimate Jack of Fables Story pages were still included. Jul 24, Jeff rated it it was ok. If it wasn't for the fact I had known Jack Frost was Jack of the Tales' son and that MacDuff the mystical wooden owl had appeared earlier in the series, I would have been a bit baffled as to what I had stumbled upon. Without any forewarning, Jack is in a sci-fi world like something out of Flash Gordan or Buck Rogers, not the typical European world one would expect. This wouldn't be that bat, except it seemed to forced and out of place it took some getting used to. Once the action star If it wasn't for the fact I had known Jack Frost was Jack of the Tales' son and that MacDuff the mystical wooden owl had appeared earlier in the series, I would have been a bit baffled as to what I had stumbled upon. Once the action started, it was a bit more enjoyable, but to me it still felt a little out of place. We still have some Babe the Blue Ox, but even that seemed to be lacking the same fun we had previously enjoyed. Jack Frost's naivety is, at least at times, almost the hardest thing to believe about the whole series. All in all, possibly my least favorite entry into the Fables universe. With this direction, it is not hard to believe that the next volume of "Jack" is the last. Unless you are really wanting to read all the volumes of "Fables" this one can be easily avoided. Nov 18, Shannon rated it liked it Shelves: graphic- novelsbooks-reviewed. In this volume we focus on one of Jack's sons, Jack Frost, who has decided he is going to become a multidimensional hero. In the previous book he was a total noob to the heroing career but here we find him suddenly quite experienced and he's gone from the standard fantasy setting to one that mimics settings similar to the pulpy sci fi fantastic action mixes of Edgar Rice Burroughs. There are some up moments here but there are also some down moments which makes this a mixed bag. Mar 09, Izlinda rated it it was amazing Shelves: fantasy-fairy-tales-mythologygraphic-novels-comics. I far prefer Jack Frost as the main character than Jack Horner. Horner was getting on my nerves as the series went on. I liked the Jack of Fables Vol. 9: The Ultimate Jack of Fables Story Frost gets involved in during his vocation as a hero. View 1 comment. Jan 03, Wing Kee rated it it was ok. Luckily there are only 5 issues left phew! Bland story, dumb characters and stupid resolution, at the end of a story if you need to ask yourself "what was the point? Aug 25, Sylvester Kuo rated it did not like it Shelves: comicsfantasyscience-fiction. This series is really running its course. Now it has gone sci-fi for no real apparent reason. Dec 13, Heather rated it liked it. Let the adventure begin. Nov 13, M. He was a welcome addition to the Fables universe, but this book is a rather weak installment in the Jack of Fables series. This is a slimmer volume than others, containing only five issues as Jack Frost tries to save virgin maidens and villages from this villain called Empyrean. The story progresses along nicely, though I really wish we could have had some interludes featuring Jack Sr. What caused me to give this volume a mere 3 stars was the ending - the matter with the Empyrean and the Witch of the Woods is not really resolved, and after a revelation with the Empyrean, I was disappointed at the fate that he suffered. For what had been a fairly entertaining story, the ending was really sloppy and lackluster. Jun 12, Cathy rated it did not like it Shelves: comics-graphic-novelsfantasyread-in I don't know what the point of this was. It's just a random traditional fantasy thrown into the middle of several long story arcs Jack and the literals, Fabletown and their issues that has no connection to anything. Even Babe isn't a part of the story, he's just floating in space somewhere, unconnected to anyone, not a sidekick or a pal, just a random comic.
