Fables #9

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.
