Fatale Volume 1

Just finished this one today and I am reading it along “with” a very dear friend. As such, I shall await his completion before commenting further!

I picked this up more out of curiosity than a real desire to read an Ed Brubaker book that wasn't Batman. But I found that I loved it. The mystery, the creep factor and the artwork are all plus tens. I loved every page even when I thought after flipping through initially I wouldn't care much for the art.
The story is well told and fast paced. There are times when the artwork makes certain male characters vague so it takes a moment to figure out who the focus is on, but it's not that big of a complaint. The best thing about the book is that it's obviously a continuing series and there's more mystery to be uncovered, but I didn't feel left hanging. I want to read more, but I wasn't left at a point in the story where you're more upset than curious. Gooooood stuff!

This is like if Lovecraft wrote a really violent noir. I liked it? I'm not sure I will be continuing the series though. Definitely not before bed, because this is some straight nightmare fuel.
