Check out this awesome Once Upon a Time promo, animated like a fairytale might be, featuring music by Of Monsters and Men!

Celebrating the return of Once Upon a Time next week, ABC has released a new promo, which animates the characters and highlights “The fight for Storybrooke.” Watch it below:

The promo features the Of Monsters and Men song “Dirty Paws.” It shows Emma and Henry in Storybrooke, running from the purple smoke as magic returns as in the season 1 finale.

The pair run through the forest, purple smoke at their heels, and we see first Rumpelstiltskin, then Regina and Hook chasing them – and finally a dragon! Is this the Maleficent dragon which Emma slayed in season 1, or a hint that a new evil is coming?

In related news, TV Guide has released a first look image from the upcoming Once Upon a Time graphic novel, featuring Regina and the Huntsman:

The graphic novel is titled Once Upon a Time: Shadow of the Queen, and will take place in fairytale land following the events of “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.” It focuses on the Huntsman’s relationship with the Evil Queen and his quest to save Snow, which leads him to an unlikely alliance with Red.

Speaking about the graphic novel, Marvel editor Emily Shaw says, “The Huntsman was perfect [for this story]. Fans love him, he’s such a compelling character, but his background is still pretty mysterious. Especially when it comes to his servitude to Regina, the Evil Queen.”

This graphic novel will not only explore that relationship, but also the Huntsman’s backstory, showing “events that define him as a character,” and reveal as of yet unknown connections between the fairytale characters in the show.

Once Upon a Time returns Sunday, April 21 with the Belle-centric episode “Lacey,” which airs at 8/7c on ABC.
