Now why, oh why, in this mixed-up world would we saddle an important series that has never had anything to do with Super Heroes with a title like "Super Team"? And why has that snotty little Pinocchio suddenly got it into his head that he needs to design tight-fitting costumes for a carefully selected team of Fables? In fact, why was the little brat caught looking over his own comic-book collection, mumbling things like, "We can call him Werewolf Man, and he can be The Golden Knight, and she can be called The Green Witch?"
A carefully selected team of Fables must don tight-fitting costumes and adopt superhero personas, much to the bewilderment of their world. The young Fable, Pinocchio, has become obsessed with superheroes and is determined to create his own team, designing costumes and codenames for various Fables. This endeavor clashes with the established nature of the Fables universe, which has never been associated with superhero tropes, creating a conflict between Pinocchio's imaginative vision and the reality of the Fables' world.
This volume of Fables, specifically focusing on the 'Super Team' arc, presents a unique and somewhat jarring departure from the series' established tone and themes. The narrative's premise, driven by Pinocchio's fascination with superheroes, introduces a meta-commentary on genre conventions and the Fables' place within them. While some readers may find the exploration of Fables in superhero attire a novel and amusing concept, others might view it as a deviation from the core mythology and characterizations that define the series. The reception likely hinges on an individual's appreciation for genre-bending and meta-narrative within the Fables universe.
