Yes, there is a point.
Just checking. Earlier there was just a link to that website that somehow manages to appear in every one of your posts.

You don't read the book, do you? Are you trying to ask if it's a good book or are you just starting a thread for all those fans out there who you think want a Jack of Fables thread but can't seem to master the "New Thread" button on their own?

You know about the trickster character in literature? Most quickly recognized are probably the Coyote of Amerindian lore, and the Monkey King of Asian tales, and perhaps Anansi the Spider, from African folklore.
Now we've Jack. He's every Jack (or John) of every fairy tale: he climbed the beanstalk, he's been nimble, he's been quick--Jack's jumped over the candlestick...he and Jill climbed up the hill... and so on.
His supporting cast includes the (ahem) Pathetic Fallacy (a literary term, here-to-fore) who gets inanimate objects to do his bidding; a "hot librarian"; and the villain, Revise, who, well, seeks to 1., eliminate Jack, and 2., retcon all myth and fairytale.
Where Fables, from whence sprang Jack, deals more largely with fable creatures at large, and their internal war for homeland, Jack of Fables sets Jack, one fable at large, in the (ahem, again) Real World.
It's smart, it's smarmy (sometimes), it's loverly drawn: the adventures of a lovably bad guy.
Try two or three issues in a row.

No, it's not. The point of this thread--hell, the point of all your threads--is to see if you'd like a particular comic. Guess what? We can't tell you that. All we know about you is that you make poor threads with no points then get pissed when people can't read your mind. If you want to know if you'll like a book, make a thread called "Will I like _____?" Then include your likes and dislikes. Even then, expect to buy books you don't like. That's part of the deal. Everyone does it.

you would not go to a movie you know nothing about. you would not eat at a resterant when you dont even know what kind of food they serve.
that is why they make trailers for movies. you might think you like a movie by its trailer and then when you go see the move you may or may not like it.
All i am looking for is to find out what the heck jack of fables is about. i cant find a review of it on line anyplace.
you think you know what kind of person i am, but you are so way off.
Please talk about the topic of this tread if your going to post. i say what i mean and mean what i say or i dont asay it so if i tell you wait the point of a thread is then that is the point of that thread. thank you.
I would rather not have this thread closed so please stick to the topic when you post from now on. lets keep this thread open.

MattMatt,
thank you so much, that is excatly what i was asking for. I hope you will post in my other threads as well. Now i understand who jack is and it makes me think i might want to get his comics. Would you be willing to post that review of jack of fables on to this site: http://www.comicvine.com/jack-of-fables/5955/ because it is realy lacking a GOOD reviw.

The site you're continually pimping is kinda wrong: Jack Of Fables has not ever shown his face in any other book than Fables and Jack Of Fables.

I think that site is talking about the origanal Jack, the one before "fables" was written. Where do you think Vertigo got the charator from?
