Fables/Unwritten Crossover On the Way

[espanolbot]

Not sure what to think of this. They kind of have similar themes, though the tones themselves might clash a bit too much. Thoughts?

Something very slashy about this...

Are you fucking kidding me? I dropped Fables BECAUSE of crossovers and spin-offs. That's why I enjoyed reading self-contained books which was the majority of Vertigo.

If I have to read Volume 3 of Other Book to understand what's going on in Volume 13 of This Book, then that's no different than having to read Spandex Clad Man #37 before reading Big Bosumed Babe #15.

I used to love, LOVE Fables until it changed from this great book into a franchise. And I love Unwritten because it's a great, singular book. If it's crossing over, where I might have to read Fables again to understand the story? I'm done. There are many other books out there that doesn't do this crap.

Hrrm, it seems to indicate that it might be Fables characters in the Unwritten universe or vice versa, so there might be a possiblity that it's a self-contained miniseries, like how Dream War was between DC and Wildstorm before they merged completely?

As long as it's not referenced or required reading in The Unwritten, then okay. Okay, I would be fine with that. I can avoid it and still enjoy the book on its own.

Ditto, for Fables. (:

That's not the case. Willingham talked about this at a con a while back. It's not so much a crossover as a guest appearance. The characters of FABLES will be showing up in an UNWRITTEN story arc, but he said it won't be reciprocated in the pages of FABLES. It'll be isolated to Carey's book.
