Fables: The Deluxe Edition #7

In "Sons of Empire, Part One: Some Ideas Toward the Prospect of a Final Solution for Fabletown," the Emperor’s forces prepare a ten-year war on the Mundy World using the Four Plagues—Pestilence, Fire, Winter, and Famine. A traitor is sent from the War Council to Fabletown as a peace envoy, and Bigby Wolf turns to a fast rabbit for help training the cubs in the ways of the hunt. 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, the issue’s striking cover by James Jean captures the tension of this uneasy truce.
