Preview Monday: BEFORE WATCHMEN: MOLOCH #2 and FABLES #124

Welcome back for another installment of Preview Monday! This week we’re giving you exclusive first looks at BEFORE WATCHMEN: MOLOCH #2 and FABLES #124.

 

Following the exciting events of BEFORE WATCHMEN: MOLOCH #1, Moloch has been released from prison and given a second chance on life. But waiting for him outside is a former masked vigilante … Adrian Veidt (a.k.a. Ozymandias)! With Veidt’s help, Moloch is able to begin his life as a reformed man. But will he be able to stay clean or does Veidt have other plans for him? From the creative team of writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Eduardo Risso, BEFORE WATCHMEN: MOLOCH #2 is the finale of this two-issue miniseries. Also, be sure not to miss the final chapter of “Curse of the Crimson Corsair,” written and drawn by original WATCHMEN series colorist John Higgins. Click here for an exclusive preview of the issue, which hits stores this Wednesday.

 

In FABLES #124, our favorite flying monkey Bufkin and his sometimes girlfriend Lily’s heroic adventures in Oz have become too big to contain in 3-page features. This week, this special full-issue epic will take us to the grand finale of “A Revolution in Oz”, a continuing back-up story that can be found at the end of previous issues of FABLES. After defeating the Emperor, Bufkin and his friends celebrate their victory. But what lies in store for Bufkin, Lily and Hangy when they decide to set out for adventures unknown? Brought to you by acclaimed writer Bill Willingham and artist Shawn McManus, FABLES #124 flies into stores this Wednesday. Click here for an exclusive preview of the issue.
