Climbing the World Tree

[arbre_rieur]

FABLES #101 is guest-penciled by Eric Shanower, he of many Oz books. That's rather appropriate, as the issue stars Bufkin, Fabletown's (ex-)winged monkey.



He's slayed Baba Yaga and imprisoned a djinn. What's next for our brave little monkey?

Yay! To OZ!

Did he get directions from a Dr Seuss bird? Cool!

Oh, I like the black-and-white/color switch there, very nice nod. Can't wait to see how Bufkin leads another rebellion!

Bufkin, army of one

Finally some movement on the Oz front. I was hoping for this ever since Ozma became a player. Though I find it hard to believe Bufkin seemed vague on Jack Pumpkinhead, who was an important personage under the old regime being Ozma's sorta-son (she made him).

Buffkiiinnnn!!!!
Also, since when did he get a girlfriend?

[arbre_rieur]

This issue, though she's not really his girlfriend, just an over-enthusiastic fan.

Hm, magical creatures in prison clothes, evil Tick-Tocks...

...omg he's in Wicked's Oz world!!!!

Guessing Ozma still has her Wishing Belt..

There's so much story potential here.

I've wanted a Return to Oz arc forever (but more so since Ozma gained prominence in the series)!
