![]() ![]() The linework and inking are well executed, and the characters, while maintaining a whimsical cartoonish look, are well proportioned and detailed enough for immersion on this level. Overall, it is a character driven story, and the characters are three dimensional and very likeable. Ben and Lily’s relationship evolves as they attempt to rescue Maddie, Jack’s sister Phelix (the dragon from The Mighty Jack) makes an appearance and in an epic battle over the Goblin King, Lily (The girl next door and Jack’s best friend) becomes king of the goblin tribe and after a goblin blood transfusion, becomes, shall we say, a little more. Ribs break, characters are not invincible, and magic has a habit of running out just when it’s needed most. Listen, if having a ’67 Mustang Shelby leading a charge of goblins to overthrow the evil giant’s vile plans of isolating a dimensional nexus sounds cool, then it probably is worth your half an hour’s reading time.Īs far as story and character are concerned, Hatke ramps it up one notch further, introducing a more grounded reality to his fairy tale take. A much better showing from The Mighty Jack This retelling incorporates lip service to the fairy tale and much, much more on modern sensibilities. Once again, Ben Hatke tackles yet another tale of Fairy Tale’s Jack – the elusive hero who appears time and time again, saving the princess (or in this retelling, his sister) as well as the proverbial day. ![]()
