Fairest (single issues) Series by Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham

In this new epic, refugees from Fabletown have returned to New York’s Castle Dark, and Reynard, now able to shapeshift from fox to man, travels the mundane world to regale the animals with tales of his exploits, rubbing the other Fables’ noses in his good fortune. Frustration at their restriction to the Farm threatens to become a issue once more! Can the animals find a way out of their situation?

At the Farm, all the talking animals, birds, and other non-humans discover that to get what they wish for will depend on the luck of the draw. And while a spider in Haven longs for the chance to be with his love, Reynard discovers that his attempts to woo a fairytale princess have earned him a one-way trip to a whole heap of trouble. The final arc of FAIREST continues here!

Life as a man is still not doing Reynard any favors, but can the cunning of a fox save both himself and Meghan from a terrible fate?

A Vertigo “Defy Covers” issue! A crime has taken place that will have the whole Farm up in arms if word spreads. Will the Farm’s super sleuth duo, Clara and Wilfred, figure out who the culprit is? And how does it relate to the destruction of a beehive in André Gardens? Meanwhile, in Louisiana, we run with the fox as Reynard and Meghan, living rough, try to stay one step ahead of Uncle Bobby and Cousin Joey.

The penultimate chapter of “The Clamour for Glamour” poses the question, “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?” Will it be good enough to win the Best Garden at the Farm contest? Mary certainly hopes so, although an impressionable Little Lamb and his pals may be about to spoil it all, thanks to a little inspiration from a pile of Pinocchio’s favorite comic books. Meanwhile, an unplanned arrival brings Reynard and Meghan a new bundle of joys and woes.

The big day has finally arrived, and the Lottery winners are drawn. Who has the winning tickets? More important, will they be passports to liberty and happiness, or five tickets to trouble?

This final issue of FAIREST features a special stand-alone story written by Bill Willingham! Don’t miss the return of fan-favorite maniac Goldilocks, with art by Meghan Hetrick (BODIES, BATMAN ETERNAL, THE JOKER’S DAUGHTER) and a special horizontal format cover by Adam Hughes!
