On the Next Major Spoilers Podcast: Fables in Exile

This week, on the Major Spoilers Podcast, the gang takes a gander at Bill Willingham’s Fables: Legends in Exile.

Fables Volume 01: Legends in Exile
Writer: Bill Willingham
Artist: Lan Medina

When a savage creature known only as the Adversary conquered the fabled lands of legends and fairy tales, all of the infamous inhabitants of folklore were forced into exile. Disguised among the normal citizens of modern-day New York, these magical characters have created their own peaceful and secret society within an exclusive luxury apartment building called Fabletown. But when Snow White’s party-girl sister, Rose Red, is apparently murdered, it is up to Fabletown’s sheriff, a reformed and pardoned Big Bad Wolf, to determine if the killer is Bluebeard, Rose’s ex-lover and notorious wife killer, or Jack, her current live-in boyfriend and former beanstalk-climber.
