"Fables&amp;#039;s new spinoff has been unveiled at Comic-Con. Writer Bill Willingham revealed Fairest, the new title emerging from the pages of his multiple award-winning comic, during the Vertigo: Fables panel in San Diego. The first arc will be written by Willingham and illustrated by celebrated artists Phil Jimenez. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s an ongoing series, but it&amp;#039;s almost a series of miniseries,&amp;quot; Willingham told Comic Book Resources.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ll have an arc with Sleeping Beauty and see what&amp;#039;s happened to her lately, but then when we do a Cinderella arc, Chris Roberson and Shawn McManus will return to the character, as they do such a wonderful job on Cinderella&amp;#039;s adventures, but from now on those miniseries will fold into this series.&amp;quot; The second arc, &amp;#039;Rapunzel in Japan&amp;#039;, will be written by recent Arthur C Clarke Award-winner Lauren Beukes and illustrated by Inaki Miranda, who provided the artwork for Fables #99. &amp;quot;We will look at the other Fables characters that fit the definition of &amp;#039;fairest in all the land&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; said Willingham. &amp;quot;And we&amp;#039;re going to throw in a few surprises. &amp;quot;There will be a few characters that will be considered legitimate under the Fairest rubric that may surprise you that they are a part of it.&amp;quot; Earlier this year, Vertigo announced Bad Doings and Big Ideas: A Bill Willingham Deluxe Edition, a collection of miniseries and one-shots by the writer.
