Batman vs. Bigby! A Wolf in Gotham is a six-issue comic book miniseries featuring Bigby Wolf crossing over into the DC Universe. The series is written by Bill Willingham, with pencils by Brian Level, inks by Jay Leisten, and colors by Lee Loughridge.[1]

Summary

Somebody's scouring Gotham for a very powerful book-and they're covering their tracks with acts of horrific book-related terrorism. That book's power flows from Fabletown…which means it's fallen to Bigby Wolf to cross the dimensional divide and find it before it lands in the wrong hands. But unfortunately for Bigby, the Batman doesn't take kindly to interlopers in his city-and neither man backs down easily![2]

Issues

Trivia

  • According to Bill Willingham, the Batman vs. Bigby series is canon for Fables. However, he doesn't know if it will be canon in the DC Universe, since he doesn't get to decide that.[3]
  • In Fables continuity, the series takes place a year or so following the events of the new 12-issue Fables arc, which (ironically) came out following the Batman vs. Bigby series.[3]
