FABLES #1-150 (Bill Willingham / Mark Buckingham, Gene Ha)

[n.n.nemo]

ah oui, le hasard fait bien les choses

[Franck_from_Mars]

Je suis, comme Arti, finalement assez content de voir cette série se conclure, car je sens très fort que la conclusion va ficeler l’affaire en beauté. J’espère ne pas être déçu.

[Jack]

[quote]I am certain to the core of my being that [Vertigo executive editor] Shelly Bond already has all of those planned. [Laughs] When we ended « Jack of Fables, » we killed everyone off because we both wanted that big everyone dies Shakespeare ending. And I promised that I wouldn’t do that with « Fables. » The way this ends is not that kind of an ending so the door is open after a reasonable time to take a break from the characters and subconsciously muddling through what would have been nice to do.

I think every writer in the world always thinks, « Oh, I should have done this instead… » Am I leaving the door open, at least a crack, to revisit them some day? Sure. There’s a possibility. Not a guarantee but a possibility.[/quote]

A partir de « Fable #139 », et jusqu’à la conclusion de la série qui se déroulera dans « Fables #150 », c’est l’artiste Nimit Malavia qui se chargera des couvertures de la série. Il succède à James Jean et Joao Ruas.

@Nimit Malavia

I try to remain open in terms of style, composition, and aesthetic with the covers. The series is quite long-running, and in that time it’s developed a rich history of covers and sort of a reputation for that, so it’s hard not to be affected by it a bit. But a nice mantra of sorts that [Vertigo editor] Shelly [Bond] and Bill have offered is that every cover should feel different from the last…and a lot of the time, the more dramatic the departure the better, So I’ve been trying to approach each cover fresh, and experimenting as much as I can. If a « style » is seen as recognizable, it’s mostly through my exorcising of personal interests in the piece.

Pas mal ce Camelot (l’arc en entier qui vient de se terminer là bas), il était temps que les auteurs s’intéressent à la légende arthurienne même si je pense qu’on n’en verra pas grand chose.

J’avais néanmoins sélectionné un très bon score, un qui sort des sentiers battus qui a rendu ma lecture pus originale, à écouter par là:

@Mark Buckingham

Pretty melancholy, to be honest. I’ve been so attached to this book — devoted to it — for 12 years now, and I feel very invested in all the characters, and it’s going to be very difficult to say goodbye to them. But I also acknowledge the fact that we have spent longer as a consistent team, creating a book than most of the people out there. Maybe Robert [Kirkman] and Charlie [Adlard] doing The Walking Dead and one or two other examples, but it’s pretty rare for a team like ours to stay together and just keep going month after month. There was bound to come a moment where it come the right point to say goodbye. As Bill [Willingham] was developing his ideas for this next big epic tale, it really became clear to us that we had become full circle and we were telling the last big story that we wanted to tell, that went right back to the core of the relationship between Snow and Rose, that was right at the forefront of the very first tale we told. So, it seemed like the right moment to bring everything together and to wrap things up. We’re going to do it in style, though. We’re doing it over 10 months, and the final issue is 150 pages long, so we’re basically giving everyone a graphic novel for a final issue. It’s going to be something very special, and we’re going to do our best to let you know what happens to the most popular characters in the series.

[quote=« Bill Willigham »]Comics is not a business in which there is a lot of job security. But in the 10-plus years we’ve been doing « Fables, » it’s come as close as that in my career and my life as I’ve ever enjoyed. There are some regrets along that line. The question is, « What am I thinking? Why kill the goose that’s laying the golden eggs? »

The other regrets are emotional ones. I am a fan caught up in the story, as well. And you don’t want to see something that’s been that important to you for that many years just go away. At the same, there is a little bit of a sense of relief. There is a lot of pressure every month to make « Fables » as good as I possibly can. Ten years of keeping all of those plates spinning without dropping any – it will be nice to take a break for a while. So yes, there are mixed emotions.[/quote]

A fight is coming between Rose Red and Snow White, and everybody knows it – except maybe Rose Red and Snow White. The only trouble is, they’ve been pegged as highly magical creatures all of their lives, but the true measure of that magic is only now being revealed. When they do finally throw down with each other, will it be a personal duel, or all-out war involving thousands?[/quote]

This is our solicitation,
Going out to every nation,
For a new issue of FABLES taking wing.

We thought we would this time,
Do the entire blurb in rhyme,
Just to see if anyone actually reads this thing.

In this issue, Bigby resurrected,
Quite more monstrous than expected,
Is challenged by a golden-armored knight.

They throw down in the city,
And won’t it be a pity,
If lives are lost during the bloody fight.

As our special gift to you,
We make this promise true,
That the actual issue won’t be all a-rhyming.

‘Twill be done in the best prose we know,
About Bigby and his Fabled foe,
And their vicious battle fought with expert timing.

Rose Red isn’t happy. She’s pretty sure she’s going to kill her sister, who she sometimes loves, sometimes hates and sometimes both. It’s complicated. What to do, then, but go home to sort things out – all the way to a little cottage in the woods in a faraway land, where Rose begins to learn just who she is and where she really came from. Turns out that’s complicated, too. This issue also features The Last Story of Hansel and Gretel![/quote]

At long last Rose Red learns the truth about her mother, her sister and herself. This is why they’re so magical. This is why all of that wild magic is affecting their lives now. And this is why one will ultimately have to kill the other. Apparently that’s what siblings in this family do. Plus: Terry Moore illustrates the backup feature, “The Last Story of Beauty and the Beast.”[/quote]
