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.

Fairytales do come true - we finally bring you the long-awaited issue on Bigby Wolf! So smoke 'em if you got 'em, because things get hairy in this one! Intro Apologies for delay in new episodes Shoutout to new Patron Justin Background Bigby Wolf created by Bill Willingham and Lan Medina in Fables #1 (July 2002) Based on the Big Bad Wolf of stories, he is the Sheriff of Fabletown, a section of NYC populated with characters from folklore and legend Centuries ago, the North Wind fell in love with a wolf named Winter, and they had a litter of cubs - Bigby was the runt, relentlessly teased by his brothers and abandoned by his father When Winter died, Bigby's brothers left to find their father - Bigby vowed vengeance against his father and his brothers Years later, he confronted his father seven times, and seven times failed to kill him - he eventually gave up and accepted defeat Living in the Black Forest, he served as an uneasy ally of the other Fables against the forces of the Adversary - he insisted on tasting the flesh of anyone attempting to pass through a portal, and determined whether they were worthy After being cut with a lycanthropy-stained knife, he gained the power to change into a human at will, and later mastered the power enough to control the extent of his transition Under the guidance of King Cole, Bigby was hired as Fabletown's sheriff because of his detective skills and fighting ability, but he remained untrusted by the other Fables Later had seven children with Snow White, and they inherited their father's abilities - they all stayed at the Farm, where Bigby was forbidden to visit until he was forgiven by Prince Charming - after marrying Snow White, he and the family moved to Wolf Valley and he retired as Sheriff Turned into glass and killed by Prince Brandish as part of Brandish's fight with Snow White - he was resurrected by witches, but since one of the pieces of glass was missing, his resurrection was tainted and he was under the control of Nurse Spratt until the final piece was returned and he was fully restored Issues - Theme is taming the mind while remaining wild at heart (9:51) Lack of trust by other residents of Fabletown because of his actions prior to the amnesty Hostile relationship with his father Internal dissonance between his animalistic nature and the human side he has to present Break (26:41) Plugs for Play Comics, Scotch N Sports, and Erica Schultz Treatment (28:18) In-universe Out of universe Skit (37:35) Hello Mr Wo -***interrupting*** Bigby. Bigby's fine. Hello Bigby, I'm Dr. Issues. -And I'm leaving. Please don't, or we're both going to be in trouble.-There won't be any trouble if you just step aside. You can see I'm fine. I've come in like this before, and I tell everyone in the ER that I'm fine, so they let me go. Not this time. -Grrr…why not? Because you've come in so many times with unknown injuries, outlandish reports that don't make sense, and by the time you leave it's as if nothing ever happened. -Exactly. EXACTLY…that's why the ER director wants me to do a psychiatric evaluation for decision making capacity. If you refuse, then police will be contacted to do a wellness check on wherever you say you're going. -That's…problematic. I agree. So, what's up? My main point is to determine if you understand the risks and benefits of your decision making, and if you are a danger to yourself, others. Or property. - Look, I'm not a danger to anyone, unless they get in my way. But if you don't let me out of here, you're putting others in danger. Can you live with that? Nope, that's why I have confidentiality on my side…and the only way it's broken is if I think there is a danger. You're not the danger and someone else is…prove it. - That's just it. If I tell you, then you're in danger. The safest thing for you is to keep you in the dark. You just have to trust me. Do you trust me? -No. Then it's mutual. Mexican standoff. I have my regs. You can beat me to a pulp, you can bash your way out of here, you can tangle with the police, but I know my job, and it's protecting society at all costs. That's all there is to it for me at this point. - *chuckles* What's so funny? - You an' I are a lot more alike than I figured. OK. Fine. Have it your way. I'll play your game, I'll answer your questions, but only far enough to get me out of here. We clear? Crystal. - *grunts* Hate that word. Why? - Bad experience. Long story. For once, I ain't got time for that. Plus, you're obviously in a hurry. Why'd you come to the hospital? -I didn't volunteer. Tough scrape, got hit with a truck…what FELT like a truck. I know people don't survive too many hard shots, and they wanted to check me for a concussion. You look and sound pretty good, all things considered -You should see the other guy. Were there any homicidal threats? -No, not this time. *pause* how often do you get threatened? Is this like a mob thing or -No, I'm actually on the side of keeping things in order. I can't say more than that. Classified? -Let's go with that. Ah…I think I'm getting the picture. You weave quite the tale -No kidding. You done? Not quite. Do you know what the typical treatment plan is when you're evaluated for physical and mental injuries? -I…uh…wait a while and if I'm ok, I leave. Like I said…a million times…EVERY time. Including now. Consistency. I like it. And do you know the risks if you leave without any further medical evaluation? -I get to not talk to you anymore, and get on with my job. My very important job that keeps you and everyone else safe, and none the wiser. Am I making myself clear? *exaggerated* Sir yes sir! -What? I'm picking up what you're putting down. Tough guy, lots of fighting skill, important work under lock and key…alright, I'm satisfied. You don't have to tell me what branch…is it CIA? FBI? Secret Service? ATF? DEA? Ooooh, maybe you're international and it's MI6 -You read too many novels. Stop. I'm completely off the books *chuckles* damn I wasn't even trying with that one. Alright, Alright. Look, I'll make your chart locked and the only way to break the seal is if you or your POA approves. Is that a deal? -What's a POA? Power of Attorney…or, if you don't have the ability to share such a legal document, you would need a listed next of kin -Not a chance, too much of a blowhard. And the missus, well… if she found out I'd gotten into a scrape like this, it wouldn't end well for me. Suit yourself. I'll be as vague as possible with details. But I can't keep this up forever. If you do anything to compromise yourself, I won't be able to hold back what's in store for you. You're going to get yourself killed at some point. - Wouldn't be the first time… I, uh, came really close. I'm sorry to hear that. You know, I see more people like you than you realize. I know your type. -*startled* Grrr.WHAT?!! Calm down. I mean the facade. You come off like a grizzly, but I know underneath that, you're really a teddy bear. That's all. I work with some people like that. And I can't change them, so I ride the wave. I hope you let the people close to you see the softer underbelly instead of the claws. - Damn, Doc, you're a lot closer than you realize. Not bad for a mundie. *confused* But it's Wednesday. - *sigh* Can I go now?

FABLES, by Bill Willingham, is a multi-Eisner award-winning comic telling THE modern-day story of the legends of folk and fairy tales - living in our modern, mundane — or mundy — world. We're talking Snow White, the Big Bad Wolf, Rose Red, Prince Charming, Cinderella, Jack, Goldilocks, the 3 little Pigs, Santa Clause, Beauty & the Beast, Pinnochio, and many more. And while Fables definitely sounds like some weird shit - don't worry it is - Fables combines the narratives of many characters from popular literay legend and smooshes them into a multi-versal tale with stakes and consequences, unlike a lot of modern superhero comics. This is a 2-part episode reading, where this weeek we cover FABLES Vols 1-6 - setting up almost all of the major characters - living in exile from their countless Homelands, after a mysterious villain known only as “The Adversary” appeared with an unstoppable army and began conquering Fable worlds one after another. Hundreds of our years ago, the main Fables of our story came up with a desperate plan: to hide in a world The Adversary would never even want—a world so boring and utterly mundane that magic doesn't even exist there: our own. New York City, to be more specific. Fables finds itself mostly set in the oft-overlooked, and soon-to-gentrified neighborhood known only as "Fabletown" - but spans the centuries and worlds, to weave a long tale. While the first couple of volumes get off to a slow start world-building and setting up the main characters, it soon starts to speed up the stakes and drama for an entertaining romp. The first 2 volumes are a slog, but then shit gets real...really good.
The game is afoot in Fabletown, and someone's out to get ahead…or two. Your very own gaming detectives Tweedle Swaim and Tweedle Ganz set out to determine whether Telltale's decision-driven adaptation of Bill Willingham's stellar Fables comics belongs on our Celestial Hard Drive. Will you side with Mike or Adam? Either way, they will remember that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rygende grise, rapkæftede frøer, prostituerede prinsesser. Hvad sker der med de magiske væsener, fra de fortællinger vi er vokset op med, efter historien er slut? Når de er flyttet ind til byen, har fået et normalt 9-17 job og en lidt for høj husleje? Svaret er ikke altid optimistisk, men lad det være en lektie; det er ikke alle historier, der slutter lykkeligt i Fabletown. Musik: Huscher.

Welcome again to LGR Ballyhoo! Our spin-off series where we look at other forms of media connected to gaming properties. Put on your reading glasses and join Lee, Mark, Andy and Adam, as we follow-up on our recent enjoyment of TellTale’s THE WOLF AMONG US by reading the first volume of ‘Fables’: the comic book series written by Bill Willingham and published by Vertigo. WARNING: The discussion on this episode covers the entire five-issue story arc of Fables: Volume One (Legends in Exile) and will touch on many key plot details. So beware spoilers when listening and when reading the notes below. The Fables comic book series was first published in July 2002 and finished its current run in July 2015 spanning 150 issues. In this first volume we step into a strange but familiar world: the ordinary human life of contemporary New York shares an unknown parallel existence with the characters of fantasy and fairytale. Driven from their homelands by an enemy known as ‘The Adversary’, Snow White, Bigby Wolf, Bluebeard, Prince Charming, Beauty and the Beast plus many more ‘fables’ have established a secret community known as Fabletown. However, instead of living happily ever after turmoil comes to Fabletown when Snow’s sister, Rose Red, is feared to be the victim of foul play. Who Killed Rose Red? That’s the question Sheriff Bigby (and our seasoned team of LGR amateur sleuths) investigate to uncover the truth at the heart of this fantastical mystery. The Lapsed Gamer Radio Team created this episode.Edited by Cevin Moore, with music and audio selections by Cevin Moore and the LGR Team.

... Not the Lapsed Gamer Radio crew! Welcome back to another LGR PlayList episode. Under investigation this time is TellTale’s THE WOLF AMONG US, so please join the residents of Fabletown and have a howling good time with our wolfpack Sheriff, Lee, and his lycanthrope deputies Cev, Mark, Andy, Ali ‘Corn Wolf’ and Stuart ‘Furry’ Cullen. WARNING: The discussion on this episode covers the entire game and includes many key plot details. So beware spoilers when listening and when reading the notes below. Following the critical and popular success of their first graphic narrative adventure game THE WALKING DEAD, TellTale games developed and published THE WOLF AMONG US inspired by the Fables comic book series by Bill Willingham. As has become their trademark, these episodic TellTale game series modernise the LucasArts point and click adventure games of old, foregrounding story, character interaction and player choices over intricate puzzle-based gameplay. Albeit with sporadic action-oriented, quick time events. In this tale, the player takes on the role of Bigby Wolf, formerly the Big Bad Wolf, the Sheriff of Fabletown, a hidden community of fairy tale characters located in 1980s New York City. After the shocking murder of a young woman, the safety of this clandestine populace is put at risk and Bigby Wolf soon finds that vice, corruption and civil unrest are the bedfellows of bloodshed. The first episode was originally released in October, 2013 with the remaining four instalments following in 2014. THE WOLF AMONG US is now readily available across multiple platforms, to be played in its entirety, so how does this adventure rank among the TellTale canon and is this a mystery worth investing the time to solve? Stay tuned to find out. The Lapsed Gamer Radio Team created this episode. Edited by Cevin Moore, with music and audio selections by Cevin Moore. Original LGR themes, FX and music cues created and composed by Cevin Moore. Other music and audio sampled in this episode is from the original soundtrack from THE WOLF AMONG US composed by Jared Emerson-Johnson.

Wir sind als Sheriff in Fabletown unterwegs gewesen und haben für Recht und Ordnung gesorgt. Manchmal waren wir Freund und Helfer und ab und zu mussten wir den großen, bösen Wolf raus lassen. Thomas, Kai und ich reden in dieser Episode über die erste Staffel von The Wolf Among Us. Viel Spaß beim Hören. -andi […]
Having reached its midway point, The Wolf Among Us forces its protagonist to confront his relationship to the economic forces that are causing Fabletown society to unravel. This episode we discuss Bigby's and our own complicity with those forces.
Silence, on joue !, c’est l’émission hebdo de jeux vidéo d’Ecrans.fr. Avec Erwan Cario et ses chroniqueurs : Patrick Hellio de JDLI, Maria Kalash de Canard PC, Erwan Higuinen des Inrocks (et sa Lettre du jeu vidéo) et Monsieur Phal, le spécialiste des jeux de société de trictrac.net (même s'il n'est pas là cette semaine, il était dans nos cœurs).Cette semaine, les chroniqueurs de Silence on joue arpentent les rues de FableTown dans la peau de Bigby Wolf avec le premier épisode (réussi) de The Wolf Among Us. Ils incarnent aussi Jodie et son «entité» Aiden dans les dernière superproduction de Quantic Dream, Beyond : Two Souls (et ils ne finissent pas par en arriver aux mains parce que ce sont des gens civilisés). Ils finissent par Doom&Destiny, un JRPG italien, ce qui est déjà en soi une performance. Voir Acast.com/privacy pour les informations sur la vie privée et l'opt-out.
Have you been wondering what happened to Snow White and if she is still happily married to her Prince Charming?

It’s fairly simple – of the two writer/artists presented, which could run circles around the other? Neal Adams (born June 12, 1941) is an American comic book and commercial artist known for helping to create some of the definitive modern imagery of the DC Comics characters Superman, Batman, and Green Arrow; as the co-founder of the graphic design studio Continuity Associates; and as a creators-rights advocate who helped secure a pension and recognition for Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Adams was inducted into the Eisner Award’s Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1998, and the Harvey Awards’ Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1999. John Lindley Byrne (born July 6, 1950) is a British-born Canadian-American author and artist of comic books. Since the mid-1970s, Byrne has worked on nearly every major American superhero. Byrne’s better-known work has been on Marvel Comics’ X-Men and Fantastic Four and the 1986 relaunch of DC Comics’ Superman franchise. Coming into the comics profession exclusively as a penciler, Byrne began co-plotting the X-Men comics during his tenure on them, and launched his writing career in earnest with Fantastic Four (where he also started inking his own pencils). During the 1990s he produced a number of creator-owned works, including Next Men and Danger Unlimited. He also wrote the first issues of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy series and produced a number of Star Trek comics for IDW Publishing. CREATE!
