New Releases by Matthew Sturges

Bigby and Bloody Mary face off in their final bone-shattering battle.

Upon receiving an important clue from the Magic Mirror, Bigby races to Central Park to find the Crooked Man.

Bigby''s investigation brings him closer to the Crooked Man''s lair...

Jack has so far eluded the retrieval vans seeking and capturing escaped Fables, but how much longer can the trickster hold out...and how has he kept so hidden thus far? The answer lies in a past tale, back when he went by the name of Jack Frost!

Jack Frost has fought the Keepers of the Fulminate Blade. He''s being lauded as a hero in the ancient city of Landfall, but being a hero isn''t maybe as great as Jack thought it might be. A promiscuous princess isn''t the only danger awaiting Jack at Landfall castle. "Kings of Earth and Sky" part 2.

Bigby finally stumbles upon the location of The Crooked Man''s lair, and the accusations fly...

Still stuck in the Grand Canyon, Jack learns something interesting about his past and present--and his true place in the Fable community! "The Bad Prince" Part 3.

With Bloody Mary shattered into nothingness, nothing stands between Bigby and the Crooked Man.

The Great Fables Crossover part 8, continued from FABLES #85. In the thrilling penultimate issue of "The Great Fables Crossover," battles are won, lives are lost and a whole lot of really weird stuff happens as Bigby and crew take on seemingly impossible odds! Continued in LITERALS #3.

The exciting true story of the time our hero found himself in equatorial Africa in nothing but his underpants, was taken prisoner by a bunch of talking apes, and in no time had set himself up as their king.

Bigby ventures to the Looking Glassworks in pursuit of the Crooked Man.

It''s the end of the road as Bigby makes the hardest decision of his career thus far as sheriff of Fabletown.

Kings of Earth and Sky part 1! Jack Frost and his wooden owl MacDuff find themselves in a strange new world--a world with giant millipede mounts, ancient space elevators and ray guns that go "zish"! But things really get interesting when a scantily clad witch leads Jack to an ancient temple containing one of the most powerful weapons ever crafted!

The Great Fables Crossover part 9, continued from JACK OF FABLES #35. Kevin Thorn, the Literal embodiment of storytelling, wants to rewrite the universe, beginning again with a new blank page. In this issue he gets his wish! The conclusion to "The Great Fables Crossover" and possibly the Fables Universe itself!

It was obvious that Jack didn''t really care if his second favorite artist, Russell Braun, was horribly insulted at the thought of being second best. But in this issue, penciller Russell Braun will enact a revenge so hideous on Jack that one of them may not make it to next issue! "The New Adventures of Jack and Jack" part 2.

Bigby and Snow begin to slot the pieces of the murder mystery together, and it goes deeper in Fabletown lore than they even thought.

Jack Frost, all things being equal, is a much better hero than his dad. You want monsters? We got ''em! You want quests and riches? We got ''em in spades! "Kings of Earth and Sky" part 3.

Captive Fables, divided into dozens of four-man escape teams, have scattered to the four winds, throwing the evil librarians of the Golden Boughs Retirement Village into chaos. But before Jack can lead his escape team to safety he first has to defeat the persuing Bagmen in single, unarmed combat. Here''s the problem though: no one has ever defeated a Bagman in single unarmed combat!

Learn the real power of the printed word--power more than just how a bunch of ideas can convince people to do stuff. It''s about how ideas can make things explode! "The Books of War" part 4.

The Great Fables Crossover part 5, continued from FABLES #84. Bigby Wolf, Snow White, Gary and Mr. Revise are hot on the trail of Kevin Thorn and determined to stop him before he can write the universe out of existence. But Bigby has problems--namely the Big Bad Wolf has been transformed into an ape! Continued in THE LITERALS #2.

Bigby tracks Georgie to the Pudding ''n'' Pie where he discovers the real culprit behind the "my lips are sealed" ribbons.

Jack Frost and his stalwart owl companion MacDuff take to the skies as Jack''s quest to save a kingdom from the vicious Empyrean nears its conclusion! "Kings of Earth and Sky" part 4.

The New Adventures of Jack and Jack finishes as Jack Frost continues to learn the hero trade while Jack Horner finally learns why he''s been getting so fat and ugly. Weirdly enough, that''s all we can possibly tell you about this issue and still retain some bit of surprise.

Final issue! Does Jack Frost slay Jack Dragon? Does Jack Dragon eat his own kid? Will the Page Sisters rebuild the Great Library? Will Gary finally get to sing a show tune on Broadway? It''s extra pages, extra action, extra drama, and extra Babe, the Miniature Blue Ox!

So Jack''s gone and got himself kidnapped, bloodied, broken, and spirited away to a mysterious prison camp called the Golden Boughs Retirement Village. For any other Fable this would spell a mess of trouble, but for Jack it''s no more than...okay, it''s also a mess of trouble for him, but he''ll stay undaunted when he meets the enigmatic author of his current dilemma: the mysterious Mr. Revise!

Jack''s sidekick Gary--the Pathetic Fallacy--takes center stage in the Golden Boughs Theatrical Society''s production of Hamlet! With Alice as Ophelia, a pair of squash rackets as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and Wicked John as Laertes! But who''s using the play as cover for an escape attempt?

The latest Jack epic continues with the Siege of the Golden Boughs--Bookburner''s army storms the gates and the fight begins in earnest! "The Books of War" part 2.

In "The Books of War" part 1, Jack has returned to the Golden Boughs not as a prisoner, but as its Commander in Chief! It''s the beginning of an all-new storyline in which lives will be lost and pigs will appear magically!
