Fables #9
This ninth volume of Bill Willingham's acclaimed Vertigo series collects issues #52–59 of the ongoing Fables comic. The story follows the Fable community as they deal with the political fallout from the Adversary's empire, with a focus on the scheming of the sinister Mr. Dark and the introduction of the deadly 'Sons of Empire' plot. Key characters like Bigby Wolf, Snow White, and Prince Charming navigate shifting alliances and escalating threats in this pivotal arc.
In "Sons of Empire, Chapter One: Some Ideas Toward the Project of a Final Solution for Fabletown," the Emperor’s forces plot a decade-long war on the Mundy World using the Four Plagues—Pestilence, Fire, Winter, and Famine. As a traitor is sent from the War Council to Fabletown under the guise of peace, Bigby Wolf turns to a fast rabbit for help training the cubs in the ways of survival. Written by Bill Willingham and illustrated by Mark Buckingham, with inks by Steve Leialoha and Andrew Pepoy, colors by Lee Loughridge, and letters by Todd Klein, this issue’s haunting vision is rendered in stunning detail on the cover by James Jean.
