Fairest #26

/ / Comics

Fairest #26“Of Men and Mice” comes to a close and Cinderella and her friends fight off a mouse invasion of the Fabletown castle which Snow White is certain was planned (it was) and executed (it wasn’t) by Prince Brandish.

The final issue of the arc certainly sees plenty of action as Cindy and her group punch, stab, kick, and skewer an ungodly number of crazed mice warriors before the arrival of Cinderella’s fairy godmother whose original spell laid the work for the current chaos and shows up just in time to help end it.

I’ve enjoyed this arc and I’m sad to see it coming to an end realizing with the end of both this title and Fables it’s likely the last major Cinderella story we’re going to get. As the character who hooked me on this world, I’ll miss her most of all. Hopefully we’ll see Cindy step in to help fight off Leigh’s intended chicanery, but if not I’m happy to see the character go out kicking some serious butt in style one more time. Worth a look.

[Vertigo, $2.99]

The Shadow #25

/ / Comics

The Shadow #25The end of the Chinatown zombie storyline, and the current run of The Shadow, comes to a close with The Shadow #25. After witnessing more and more of New York City being overrun by an unstoppable zombie horde, The Shadow puts sets his mind to finding a plausible scientific reason behind recent bizarre events which will lead him to call on the assistance of his entire network of spies at once and face down the Zombie Queen of Chinatown.

After discovering the dastardly truth behind the mad woman’s plot, our hero puts his soldiers to work administering antidote to the mind-controlled horde only appearing to have died before rising and beginning their assault on the city. Dispensing swift justice, The Shadow closes his latest case making way for Dynamite’s new ten-issue series set more than a decade later in Lamont Cranston’s crime-fighting career taking The Shadow and Margo Lane to Russia at the beginning of the Cold War. Although short, this bizarre final arc ends the series on a strong note. I’m sorry to see it end. Worth a look.
