Fables #162

Fables comes to a close… again. Fables #162 wraps up “The Black Forest,” the twelve-part return to the Fables Universe for Bill Willingham. Although its various epilogues tease additional stories for some of the separate characters, Fables #162 does feel like a finale. Our catalyst to the end of Peter Pan comes in the form of the new Jack in the Green who finally catches up with the villain and uses her arrow not to kill Pan but to release Tinkerbell from his control damning him to a far worse fate than death.

Will Trent - Me Llamo Will Trent

I missed this show. Will Trent returns for its Second Season with Will (Ramón Rodríguez) largely ignoring the events of last season (other than learn Spanish to honor his mother), Angie (Erika Christensen) pushing herself to get back to work too soon, Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) both struggling with relationships, and new crimes to be solved. The crime of the week involves a bomber targeting families of prisoners who refused or were unwilling to pay extortion to keep their loved ones safe. The bomb-heavy plot allows for the introduction of Susan Kelechi Watson as a bomb-tech and potential love interest for Will, but the show’s writers have other plans.

Romancing the Stone

When her sister (Mary Ellen Trainor) gets into trouble, reclusive romance novelist Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) finds herself on the way to Colombia with a treasure map unaware of the adventure or dangers ahead in this fish-out-of-water tale that is as entertaining today as it was nearly 40 years ago. Trailed by the dangerous Deputy Commander of Colombia’s secret police (Manuel Ojeda), Joan’s life is saved in the middle of the jungle by a man straight out of one of her romance novels (even if she doesn’t recognize him at first).

Zorro: Man of the Dead #1

Doing double duty as both writer and artist, Sean Gordon Murphy reimagines a modern Zorro with a Don Quiote influence. Zorro rides again! We open with a local celebration of Zorro shut down by the drug cartel who control the village. Jumping forward 20 years we reconnect with the children of Antonio de la Vega each scarred differently by the brutal slaying of their father (who was wearing the Zorro costume at the festival).
