Written by Bill WillinghamArt by Jim Fern and Craig Hamilton
The Great Fables Crossover has ended, and Willingham has wisely chosen to give us a one-off issue, revealing some of the history of Mr. Dark, the new big bad in Fabletown.
In this issue, we are given a story about the Boxers - the mages employed in the Empire to contain wild magic - and how they came to box up Dark. This is a good issue, providing some much-needed exposition to help set this newest threat up as a big deal.
The best thing about this issue is the guest art by Jim Fern and Craig Hamilton. I like Fern's work (seen most recently in the excellent Crossing Midnight) before, but when inked by Hamilton, it really comes alive. The figures in this book look great.
