Now eventually you are going to have a Comic Book thread on this Comic Book forum, right?

Now this is...something else.

Bill Willingham has released the comic book series Fables into the public domain, as a "asymmetric warfare" tactic against DC Comics.

Bill Willingham Declares Fables is Public Domain, What Will DC Do Now?

Bill Willingham has just declared that "As of now, the comic book property called Fables, is now in the public domain"

I don't know how this effects the last 3 issues of the return miniseries they were doing. I would guess it's not going to finish up now. But, this certainly is a move.

That would be more interesting if he wasn't fairly terrible as a person.

-ZacWilliam, I was always figuring I'd get around to reading it at some point but he's well and soured that from ever happening.

Willingham is a terrible person? What'd he do?

I read Fables up to... the final war. Flycatcher's reveal and I just gave up. I did look up the ending (where someone goes crazy and kills some main characters.) and I wanted to know what happened to the couple of puppets who wanted to be human (what happened to their child?)

I know Fables had spin offs like Cinderella secret agent but I didn't know they were bringing it back.

He's is and has been a deeply right wing conservative with prejudiced and extreme political and social opinions to match. He's also been blatantly misogynistic and disrespectful of female comics creators at convention appearances.

-ZacWilliam, he's just kinda slime, which makes me entirely willing to skip the worlds crafted from those viewpoints.

 

[Fero McPigletron]

Ouch.

Not that I'm a huge fan of Fables (I actually just wanted it to wrap up when I was reading it) but it still bites for people who find out their fave creators aren't nice folks.
