'The Great Fables Crossover: Part 2 of 9 - Written by Matthew Sturges & Bill Willingham Art by Russ Braun & Jose Marzan Jr. Cover by Brian Bolland This is the opening salvo in what will come to be known around the world as 'The Great Fables Crossover' (except for that one issue of FABLES that comes out the previous week that actually starts it, but who gives a crap?). You know, everyone is always saying, 'Hey, we want to see Jack get his ass kicked.' And since this is a crossover, there could be all kinds of people who might be kicking Jack's ass. But it'll probably only involve the one person you're thinking would do something like that. On sale April 22 ? 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US ? MATURE READERS Cover price $2.99.

The Great Fables Crossover: Part 3 of 9 - Written by Bill Willingham & Matthew Sturges Art by Mark Buckingham & Andrew Pepoy Cover by Mark Buckingham. If you're a reader of JACK OF FABLES, then you're familiar with The Literals - an extended family of characters who literally embody literary notions. It's also very possible that one of The Literals may have created all of the Fables plus the universe in which they reside, unbeknownst to our beloved Fables. The full story on this enigmatic crew of characters begins here, the first in a 3-issue miniseries and Part 3 of 'The Great Fables Crossover,' an epic, 9-part tale spanning the pages of FABLES and JACK OF FABLES. The story kicks off when Jack reveals the existence of The Literals to Fabletown, and things quickly get chaotic from there. Fables don't like the idea of having a living god who can wipe them out with the stroke of a pen, and have thus decided to get rid of The Literals. Will they succeed in erasing their creator from existence, or will he literally rub them out first? 32 pages, full color. MATURE READERS Cover price $2.99.
