When the Adversary conquered the lands of legends, the inhabitants were forced into exile. They form a secret society, a hidden enclave in modern-day New York. Bill Willingham’s award-winning fractured-fairy-tale series explores the world of these beloved fables…one that exists within our own.

Led by Snow White, a reformed Big Bad Wolf, and a host of others, the secret community of Fabletown is adjusting to life among the “mundanes.” But this is no fairy tale, and when Snow White’s estranged sister, Rose Red, goes missing — her apartment a grisly, bloody scene — it’s up to her sister and Mr. Wolf to find the culprit. But the question remains, will they find Rose alive and intact, or will the cryptic message on her wall come true: “No More Happily Ever After”?

In addition to these fantastic tales of whimsy and wonder comiXology is proud to present the digital debut of the long sought after fan-favorite FABLES one-shot The Last Castle. In which Little Boy Blue weaves a tale of the great war that forced he and his friends into hiding. In a battle of blood, guts and broken hearts, we meet a mysterious woman and find out why Boy Blue plays only the blues on his horn.
