Fables, vol. 16

Fables: Super Team by Bill Willingham, 148 pages

What a long wait for this volume! But it was so fun that it was worth it. In preparation for the fables' impending battle with Mr. Dark, comic book-lover Pinocchio decides to create a super team to defeat the ultimate baddie. A large chunk of this volume ends up poking fun at superhero stereotypes, particularly the X-Men and Iron Man. My only complaint here is that we never get to see them battle Mr. Dark, whose demise comes WAY too quickly with no real battle. It's been building up forever, so it seemed a shame to end so abruptly. I'm curious to see what bad dude Willingham has in store next though.
