The Unwritten #36 – 2012 is a compelling entry in Mike Carey and Peter Gross's genre-defying series from Vertigo, seamlessly blending fantasy, metafiction, and literary intrigue. This issue continues the bold second act of the series, placing Tom Taylor at the heart of an unfolding global narrative shaped by myth, language, and the written word.

Set in a world where stories influence reality in literal, often dangerous ways, The Unwritten #36 deepens the mythology around the power of narrative and the mysterious forces seeking to control it. Tom, now fully entangled in the battle between creation and control, must navigate the boundaries between fiction and reality, and confront what it truly means to be a symbol, a son, and a story.

Peter Gross’s art continues to impress, with elegant layouts and a rich sense of tone and pacing that complement Carey’s literary script perfectly. This issue is both visually dynamic and intellectually rewarding—an excellent example of the series' ability to weave complex themes into an accessible and emotionally resonant format.

Originally published in 2012, The Unwritten #36 is part of the later arcs where the stakes escalate and the meta-narrative structure becomes even more intricate. This period in the series is known for its bold direction, symbolic layering, and references to world literature, making it a standout for readers who appreciate comics that challenge traditional storytelling norms.
