Fatale Compendium
Ratings1
Average rating4
The best-selling, award-winning team of ED BRUBAKER and SEAN PHILLIPS finally collect their hit book FATALE under one cover in this gorgeous compendium edition. Josephine is cursed, and in a series that darkly blends American crime noir with unnamed Lovecraftian horrors, we follow her from 1950s San Francisco, where crooked cops hide deeper evils, to mid-'70s L.A., where burnt-out actors and ex-cult groupies are caught in a web around a satanic snuff film, then back through the ages of time... and in the middle of it all is Josephine, with a power to die or kill for.

A wild cocktail of eldritch horror, occult nonsense, noir crime, and a ton of mystery, Fatale kept me reeled in from start to finish. I loved the anthological approach that weaved a greater overarching story which often times provided unexpected twists and turns from one anthology piece to the next. The characters were great, especially Josephine (obviously since she's the driving character).
The story of the band in the 80s or 90s that got sucked into the crazy world of Josephine's stood out to me as a highlight.
Overall a great read with eye-catching art. Brutal, bloody, twisty, alluring, and wild. Would recommend.
