Calamity Jack has a history. Unknown to Rapunzel, Jack was not always a good guy. He used to have all kinds of schemes to make money for his mother. He was running away from just such a scheme involving giants and beanstalks when he met Rapunzel. When he returns to the city, he finds things have changed and not for the better. Can Jack save his mother, the city, and his relationship with Rapunzel?
Things I Liked:
I love the humor. Seriously, I haven't read many graphic novels, but I think I prefer them with humor. Nathan Hale's illustrations were delightful (as usual) and kept the story going when there weren't many words. I love a good twisted fairy tale and it doesn't get more twisted than giant ant people.
Things I Didn't Like:
It didn't have much of a point that I could find. Fun, but rather light.
Read-alikes:
Pick up Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon and Dean Hale first
