Geekscape Comics: Preview This Week’s ‘Fables: The Wolf Among Us’ Physical Release!

I’m a big fan of DC’s Digital Firsts lineup of comics. Instead of having to wait a month to grab a new issue of some of my favourite books, I get a bite-sized chunk of each on my iPad each and every week. The way that the publisher staggers the content (new books in different series each day of the week) is also awesome; I have a beyond-busy schedule, but I can likely spare a few minutes for reading each day.

One of my favourite titles in the Digital Firsts line (aside from the always great Injustice: Gods Among Us) is Vertigo’s Fables: The Wolf Among Us. Last year’s Telltale Games title The Wolf Among Us actually introduced me to the world of Fables (somehow I missed out until that point) and I’ve been hooked ever since. The comic version of Fables: The Wolf Among Us acts as an official adaptation and expansion of the events that we saw in season one of the fabulous game (which is available on everything, so you should definitely play it).

As much as I love the Digital Firsts line, I also love collecting physical comics. DC seems to understand this pretty well, as they thankfully do publish hard copies of their Digital Firsts titles once enough digital issues have been released. This Wednesday (5/13), the publisher will release Fables: The Wolf Among Us #5 in comic book stores everywhere, and I couldn’t be more excited to pick up my copy.

We’ve got a batch of preview pages for the upcoming issue, so definitely take a gander at those below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see in season two of the game, and next in the comic!

“The bodies pile up and the case takes a turn for the personal, as it looks like Bigby’s crime-solving partner just ended up on the wrong side of a toe tag. Plus, flash back to 17th-century Salem, Massachusetts, to see how Bigby became the man he is today!”
