Fables #122

From Vertigo's long-running fairy-tale reimagining comes this December 2012 issue, with a haunting cover by Joao Ruas that sets an immediately unsettling tone: a massive, wolf-like creature looms with jaws wide open over a small, hooded figure serenely reading a book — the contrast between that quiet act of reading and the towering predator above it is genuinely arresting. "The Destiny Game, Part One of Two" kicks off a new two-part arc from writer Bill Willingham and artist Gene Ha, promising the kind of dark, layered storytelling that has kept Fables compelling well into its run.
