Award-winning cover artist James Jean ends his run on the Vertigo series in fitting style, with this piece inspired by the Pietà, but with Red Riding Hood holding a maimed Boy Blue. The cover is chock-full of incredible detail, from the halo behind Red Riding Hood's head that looks as if it were carved in granite to the flowers that burst like blood from Boy Blue's wounds, to the dozens of scattered knick-knacks that reference previous Fables storylines. —MELROSE
