“Sons of Empire Part Three: The Burning Times”

In "Sons of Empire Part Three: The Burning Times," the arrival of the Emperor's ambassador Hansel stirs unease in Fabletown, where his past shadows loom large—especially for Frau Totenkinder, the first witch he ever killed. Written by Bill Willingham and illustrated by Mark Buckingham, with inks by Steve Leialoha and Andrew Pepoy, this issue deepens the tension with a story grounded in history, suspicion, and the weight of old wounds. The haunting cover by James Jean captures the mood perfectly.
