The Unwritten

review 1: The Unwritten has been justly compared to Bill Willingham's wonderful twist on Fables, and this equitable finding is just. Scripter Mike Carey has continued to build upon a wide knowledge of literary, popular, and mythic themes undertaken in his approach on the often underrated run of Lucifer for Vertigo, extending into the epic saga deftly unfolded in The Unwritten. The fifth collection subtitled "On to Genesis" continues to reveal more of the purpose of Tom-Tommy-Taylor, wherein various artists are shown to full effect to duly express the story. The pointed finishes of Vince Locke lend a compelling verve to the sequences rendered of the 1930's, and the inventive covers of Yuko Shimizu are continuing to be a integral aspect in this compelling series.
review 2:... more I've found this to be kind of a hit-and-miss series overall, but when it's hitting, it's pretty darn good, as in this particular volume, which sort of gives us a bit of an origin story for Tom Taylor (or at least I think it does--time will tell). I love the whole "jumping into and out of stories" idea and it has really worked well at times. The art could be a bit better, but it does what it needs to (I just wish it weren't quite so perfunctory). Looking forward to the next collection. less
