These stories pick up the tale of Jack, a Fable who having stolen from the Fable-community was banished into the "Mundy" (mundane) world. He's a total dick. Which is probably why he is such a good character. I don't think these are as good as the original stock, but they're entertaning enough so if Con buys anymore of them, I'll read them.
These volumes pick up the tale of Lucifer Morningstar from when he left his kingdom of Hell in the capable administrative hands of the angels Remiel and Duma (in Neil Gaiman's masterpiece, the Sandman). On the whole, this is fan-freaking-tastic, BUT (and I promise I'm not giving anything away here) given story's trajectory, there is really no other way that it can end and that's a pity. Sometimes, I wish these things could go on forever, but I suppose they wouldn't be as good then. Let's just say that there's no fear of Lucifer jumping the shark, even though he could if he wanted to!
