Fables #150 — Writer: Bill Willingham;  Pencils: Mark Buckingham;  Inks: Steve Leioaloha, Andrew Pepoy, Dan Green and Jose Marzan, Jr.;  Colors: Lee Loughridge We’re breaking the pattern of starting with Marvel’s Secret Wars tie-ins this week, to acknowledge the last issue of Fables, DC’s long-running Vertigo title about fairy tales living on Earth (and, before you accuse it of ripping off TV shows like One Upon a Time or Grimm, do the math: it was around long before they were).

Powers #1 — Writer: Brian Michael Bendis;  Art: Michael Avon Oeming;  Colors: Nick Falardi Groo: Friends and Foes #1 (of 12) — Story/Art: Sergio Aragones;  Words: Mark Evanier;  Colors: Tom Luth Burning Fields #1 (  of 8  ) — Writers: Michael Moreci and Tim Daniel;  Art: Colin Larimer; Colors: Joana LaFuente These are the week’s first issues that caught my eye — although two of the three are relaunches, not debuts.
