The story basically centers on Kevin Thorn aka "The Storymaker" who wants to re-write the universe with his magic pen. To do this, he draws upon the "genres," which are played by characters such as western, blockbuster, comedy, noir, and science-fiction. The Fables team, with the help of "The Literals," try to stop Thorn before he re-writes them out of existence! This was a fun and engrossing read. In fact, if you plan to read Fables, I suggest starting at the beginning. Another gem from Vertigo comics.
