This issue I am sure will have some sort of pay off later. It's Cinderella trying to get the giants on their side. I am sure if they battle the Adversary the Giants will come in handy. That being said, it read and felt like pure filler. I didn't hate the issue, I just did not really like it. I think the character of Cinderella ( as used here in the series ) is not strong enough to carry a whole issue on her own. Not to mention the tone of the book seemed to not know if it wanted to be farcicle or not. Oh they can not all be winners, and this one definitely isn't.
