Ok, so, Telltale Games, makers of the award winning video game version of The Walking Dead, have turned their hand to developing a video game from Vertigo’s Fables series. They’re up to Episode 2. I must admit I’m out of the loop on this; I didn’t even know there was an Episode 1! I blame whiskey. Then again, I blame everything on whiskey.

Telltale’s official blog says the release is set for next week but no specific date is given: “We’re super close to the episode’s release now, and will announce dates as soon as we have them confirmed.”

If, like me, you completely missed this the first time around and want to see the trailer for Episode 1: Faith, check it out after the jump.

That’s right: Bill Willingham has announced that Fables will be ending with issue 150 in about a year and a half, with its spinoff book Fairest closing out at about the same time.

This is… not particularly welcome news.

So what’s up, Bill?
