We didn't get to make our monthly trip to the comic shop last week, and there are no non-pull list books this week, so it's a pretty boring day for the Previews. We've got a bunch of #3s I have yet to see the #2s of, and the start of the new parallel stories (kinda) in The Unwritten. (They're releasing the regular issue and a “point five” issue a couple weeks later that are stand-alone and give some insights into the history of the cabal.) So, being that I can't say anything about them, here's a completely comment-less installment of the Previews!

The Unwritten #31
- Written by Mike Carey
- Art by Peter Gross & M.K. Perker
- Cover by Yuko Shimizu
The game-changing, twice-monthly epic called “Tommy Taylor and the War of Words” begins now! Tom Taylor goes to war against the cabal that has tormented, imprisoned and tried to destroy him – and it’s far more than just a war of words! To have a hope of winning, Tom must use every weapon he can get hold of, but even storybook magic carries its own risks. And for a story unlike any you’ve ever seen, one issue a month isn’t enough! In the special, standalone .5 issues, Tom’s crusade plays out against the backdrop of the cabal’s sinister secret history and delves deep into the dark past of some of the series’ major players. When it’s all over, very little will remain Unwritten.”
