Primarily featuring Therese and Dare &#8212; two of Bigby and Snow&#8217;s cubs &#8212; the arc fulfilled key parts of the &#8220;Fables&#8221; prophecy originally revealed as a one-page story at the 2009 Comic-Con International in San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>As the story began, Therese received a Christmas gift from an unknown admirer, a red plastic boat, which takes her on a deep and disturbing journey through Toyland where she eventually becomes Queen. As the young girl became a young woman and was forced to do unthinkable things at the behest of her subjects, her brother Darien made the ultimate sacrifice for her salvation.<\/p>\n<p>Willingham spoke to CBR News about the choice he and Buckingham made for the Cubs and shared insight into where the Vertigo-published &#8220;Fables&#8221; is heading over the next year, revealed the title of the next major arc and outlined how the upcoming graphic novel, &#8220;Werewolves of the Heartland&#8221; will tie into the ongoing series. He also confirmed that he has no plans to end the series anytime soon, citing the 300-issue run Dave Sim and Gerhard completed on &#8220;Cerebus&#8221; as the benchmark he&#8217;s aiming for.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comicbookresources.com\/?page=article&amp;id=41287\">Willingham Talks &#8220;Fables: Cubs in Toyland&#8221; and Beyond &#8211; Comic Book Resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winner of 14 Eisner Awards, &#8220;Fables&#8221; by Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham is one of the most highly-decorated comics in the history of the industry.
