Vertigo Presents “Fables:#102—SUPERTEAM Part 1 of 5” by Bill Willingham (writer-creator), Mark Buckingham (penciller), Steve Leialoha (Inker), Lee Loughridge (colors), Todd Klein (letetrs), Joao Ruas (cover)– (Vertigo, a division of DC Comics, Inc.)

One of the most clever comics for adult readers is “Fables”, a speculation about the nature of the main characters in Mother Goose nursery rhymes, Grimm fairy tales and so forth. In other words, what would Good King Cole, Pinocchio, Mary Quite Contrary, Big Bad Wolf, The Frog Prince, and all the rest were real people, with magic powers; that they lived in our world now that the Age of Magic has passed, and that they are trying to find their place in the world while fighting evil magic too?
The latest adventures of the Fabled characters involves a serious threat from a mysterious and evil  “Zephyr”, and King Cole had pledged to kill all zephyrs. This one, however, is the son of his estranged son; in other words, his grandson. Meanwhile, Pinocchio is dressed like Professor Xavier and creating a “superteam” complete without costumes, to the fight the encroachment of the zephyr. He is slowly taking over more of the borderlands of Haven. The Frog cannot transport more than two citizens while he resists the zephyr, so eventually they will have to make a stand.
Thus, a superteam to defend everyone against the Dark Man. (Can’t wait till the next issue!)
