Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham epic fantasy comic, Fables is over, but its universe lives on this week with the release of Everafter: From the Pages of Fables # 1!
Centuries ago, the Fables arrived in our mundy world as refugees from an unrelenting Adversary. But our world is mundy no more. Magic is all too real, and out of control. In the wake of a new era for humanity and Fables alike, an unlikely alliance has been born. The Shadow Players have stepped up to fill the void left by the departed major players, and they may be our last, best hope to keep us from destroying ourselves with our own mythology!
In CraveOnline’s exclusive preview from Everafter: From the Pages of Fables # 1, we catch a glimpse of the Shadow Players in action, including Bo Peep, Connor Wolf, and Hansel; who is still very much a religious fanatic and a bastard. Who let this guy on the team?
And here’s the official description from Vertigo:
“From the team that brought you FABLES: THE WOLF AMONG US comes a new chapter of the FABLES legacy! In a post-Fables world where magic abounds, it can be wielded for the greater good or used to plant the seeds of anarchy and terrorism. The Shadow Players are a global network of agents—both Fable and mundane—tasked with policing a newly enchanted world and protecting humanity from itself. EVERAFTER features the return of series favorites Bo Peep, Peter Piper, Hansel, and Connor Wolf, as well as exciting new characters and a terrifying new villain!
Written by FABLES: THE WOLF AMONG US veterans Matthew Sturges and Dave Justus with gorgeous art by Travis Moore (Fables: The Wolf Among Us, JLA All Stars), you won’t want to miss this series that FABLES creator Bill Willingham himself told us we had to get into your hands as quickly as possible!”
Everafter: From the Pages of Fables # 1 will be released on Wednesday, September 7.
