Jack of Fables vol.7: The New Adventures of Jack and Jack - Bill Willingham & others

I'm not the biggest fan of the Jack books.  I've bought them mostly because the main book is so damn good. This one I rented from the library.

It's actually pretty good.  The book is split between a storyline featuring Jack of Fables slowly turning into a dragon, due to him hoarding all that gold he has hidden in his suitcase and a better storyline featuring Jack Frost as he returns the Ice Queen's powers and embarks on a life of selfless heroics accompanied by Gepetto's wooden owl McDuff.  This tale is fairly light and fluffy but does have a couple of fun notions running through it.

The tagline at the end of the book makes the claim that J. of F.'s transformation is permanent and that the book is all Jack Frost from now on but these taglines tend to lie a lot so we'll see.
