Fri, 11/30/2012 - 2:08pm | Alex Nagorski

This afternoon, THE NEW YORK TIMES published their Graphic Book Best Sellers Lists and debuting at #1 on the Hardcover list was the new Vertigo original graphic novel, FABLES: WEREWOLVES OF THE HEARTLAND.

Over the past ten years, FABLES has captured the hearts and minds of readers in an ever-expanding magical universe that spans numerous titles, series and formats. Snow White, Bigby Wolf, Frau Totenkinder, Little Boy Blue and Jack Frost are just some of the popular cast who appear in 17 Volumes; the graphic novel 1001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL; the spin-off series JACK OF FABLES, CINDERELLA and now, FAIREST; and the prose novel, PETER AND MAX.

This month, Bigby Wolf finally got his own original graphic novel with FABLES: WEREWOLVES OF THE HEARTLAND! This next chapter in The New York Times bestselling, Hugo Award nominated, multiple Eisner Award-winning series is written by Fable’s creator Bill Willingham with art by Jim Fern (JACK OF FABLES), Craig Hamilton (FABLES, ABSOLUTE SANDMAN), Ray Snyder (52), Mark Farmer (ANIMAL MAN) and cover by Daniel Dos Santos (PETER AND MAX).

Bigby Wolf’s adventure begins as he heads west looking for a location where he can start a new Fabletown. He stumbles onto a small town named Story City populated solely by … werewolves. Not Fables but also not Mundy’s (Fable-speak for regular, mundane, people), these werewolves, who are connected to Bigby in more ways than one, know and revere him like a god. So why are they trying to kill him? The only thing that’s certain is that this is the most horrific and action-packed FABLES story to date!

Mon, 11/19/2012 - 1:17pm | Alex Nagorski

On Friday, THE NEW YORK TIMES published their Graphic Books Best Sellers Lists and debuting at #1 on the Hardcover list was SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, VOL. 2.

The highly anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times best-selling graphic novel SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, this new original graphic novel reunites acclaimed writer J. Michael Straczynski (BEFORE WATCHMEN, BRAVE AND THE BOLD, BABYLON 5) and superstar artist Shane Davis (GREEN LANTERN, SUPERMAN/BATMAN).

In SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, VOL. 2, a young Clark Kent, while slightly more settled in Metropolis from when we last left him, is still struggling to find his footing both as a reporter and as his superhero alter-ego, Superman. When a powerful new villain threatens Metropolis and drains him of all his powers, Superman will learn for the first time what it means to be vulnerable -- in other words, what it means to be truly human.
