“Witches” Part 3! Up at the Farm, things are getting dicey as the witches try one thing after another to deal with Mister Dark, only to be frustrated, halted and defeated at every turn. Meanwhile, the struggle for political power heats up as the scared Fables turn to the only one among them who's defeated Mister Dark in the past. Back in the long lost Woodland Business Office, poor little Bufkin is fighting for his life against the evil witch Baba Yaga. His strength compared to hers is nil, his allies are nearly useless, and his resources are few.

BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
Wow - I don't know why I forget from time to time, but this is a such great comic.
It never ends up on the top of my pile of must reads, but instead surprises me each month when I finally do read it.
89 issues into it, and Bill Willinghman STILL hasn't run out of ideas, and regular series artist Mark Buckingham couldn't have
found a better title to fit his art style. We're in Chapter 3 of the 5 part Witches storyline, with unlikely hero Bufkin the Monkey taking
center stage.
If you've drifted away from this title, this current storyline is a great point to return to it.
