Reader torture -- well, it's not as bad for you since you're reading the trades, but I had to wait about two years between Snow and Bigby parting and their reunion. Pretty much the same wait until we finally learn the cubs' names. Not to mention the fake cover for #50.
And -- fuck, Bigby left because he couldn't see his kids and because he saw this as a smackdown from Snow, even though it was fairly rational. When Snow sent the seventh kid off to find his father, this was something of a peace offering -- Snow was reaching out to him and giving him a chance to be a father, raise at least one of his children, and one who would need more care than most.
There is no way in hell I can accept ANYTHING in the mundy world keeping Bigby from giving that kid 110% of his attention. Had it been something like him splitting his time with giving the smackdown to the Adversary's forces that were coming through a previously unknown portal or something to that effect, I'd accept it. But - gah.
I'm trying to hold back on the detail to avoid spoilering, but -- I'm just going to link the fic I wrote when I send you #49. Others have told me it let the issue make some friggin' sense for them.
