He seems to be cast as a lawful-neutral character coming to clean up Gepetto’s messes. The introduction of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, some of the biggest characters missing from the original story, is intriguing. And at the same time, a lot of new and old players head on to new adventures. It helps that there’s a good entry point-Fabletown has just been exposed to the world after the epic final battle, and King Cole has to welcome the Mundys within its destroyed walls and explain to them what they’ve been missing.

A recent team-up of Bigby Wolf and Batman didn’t make many waves and was hard to place in continuity, but now the original series returns for a twelve-issue engagement with the original art team on board. Ray: After a 150-issue run and countless spin-offs (mostly by frequent Willingham collaborators Lilah Sturges and Chris Roberson), Fables came to an end with an expansive epilogue that seemed to be the end of the road-until now.
