From DC Entertainment
Feb. 21, 2013
Vertigo announced this morning that they will be publishing two new FABLES books arriving this Fall.
The FABLES ENCYCLOPEDIA will be a Deluxe Edition hardcover volume devoted to the characters you’ve grown to love in Bill Willingham’s FABLES mythos. Compiled by noted scholar Jess Nevins, each entry will include the character’s historical origin and Fables reinvention as well as first appearances and whimsical antidotes from creator Bill Willingham and regular series artist Mark Buckingham. The book will feature a, yet to be revealed, wraparound cover by Adam Hughes.
Spinning out of the FAIREST ongoing series, FAIREST: IN ALL THE LAND hardcover will feature short stories written by Bill Willingham, told through the Magic Mirror and illustrated by some the finest artists in comics, including Adam Hughes, Chrissie Zullo, Mark Chiarello, Karl Kerschl and more! (Think FABLES: 1001 Nights of Snowfall.) The book will feature a, yet to be revealed, wraparound cover by Adam Hughes.

Definitely 2 more books that will get my money from DC.
I'm getting both Fables and Fairest in trade/HC, so it'll be a treat to read something Fables-related when everyone else does!
Definitely getting The Fables Encyclopedia!
I feel though that Fables as a monthly is losing steam. Maybe a twice a year HC is the way to go instead of a monthly.
