Series Review: Fiction Squad

Fiction Squad - Boom! Studios

Fablewood, a unique land where fairy tales and bed-time stories live side by side, brings us, from an unfinished prose novel, the failed detective Frankie Mack. Frankie is about to uncover a conspiracy, a conspiracy that will turn the tails on Fablewood and unmake storytelling as we know it.

In the City of Rimes deep in the heart of the Children’s Realm, where fairy tales and bedtime stories co-exist side-by-side our favorite whimsical characters of childhood take on a sinister side for example, Goldilocks is a criminal, unlawfully breaking into homes and stealing from them while destroying their property. The Big Bad Wolf is a felonious destructor of properties.  The Mayor is a Crooked Man and the Police Chief, Tom Thumb is in everyone’s pocket. Enter our hero Frankie Mack, a failed gumshoe detective from the Realm of Crime Fiction, a lost character from an old 20-page novella that nobody remembers and his partner Simple Simon.

Someone has pushed Humpty Dumpty off the wall, leaving him cracked-up pretty good and Jack, from the infamous Jack and Jill is missing, but worst of all, someone has dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the East and Frankie must solve this crime before the Madonna crime families, The Queens of the Card Crime Syndicate and Wicked Witches of the East and West Side start an all-out war.

 Fiction Squad is a unique read, writer Paul Jenkins takes fairy tales and bedtime story characters and tweaks them in a sinister light that is mind-blowing, and a true-fit to the character, while artist Ramon Bach’s enhances Jenkins view with his whimsical drawing of the characters. Fiction Squad is sure to please all comic book lovers from child to adult.
