Fairest: Of Men and Mice

Fairest, vol. 4: Of Men and Mice by Marc Andreyko, art by Shawn McManus, 144 pages

In this latest installment of the women-centric Fables spinoff series, super-spy and shoe connoisseur Cinderella is called in to take down some odd mouse men who are attempting to kill... well, Snow White and a couple other Fables. It's not incredibly clear why this is happening, nor is there a decent resolution to the story. This is the first Fairest volume without Fables creator Bill Willingham writing, and it shows. There's a lot more action and a lot less plot and character development, despite having some prime characters to work with. I was disappointed.
