You know that sinking feeling you get in the penultimate episode of a new season of Game of Thrones? Well, that’s how Fables has been making us feel for nearly two years since creator Bill Willingham announced the long-running series would finally come to an end with issue #150.

All signs — fairytales included — point to a showdown between two sisters, Rose Red and Snow White. Will they be able to resist the pull of history or will they destroy each other in the process?
