Fatale, Vol. 2: The Devil's Business

My second foray into the world of graphic novels. As with the first paperback, I enjoyed this one. I must admit, though, that I felt it slipped slightly from the first one. The story lines evolved, but it seemed like a re-imagining of the same line - man meets Josephine, man falls in love with Josephine, man learns there is more than meets the eye with Josephine, man dies (or nearly dies) for Josephine.

As with the first collection, I still enjoy the flexibility with which the narrative can be read. There are multiple levels to the narrative, there are good stories, and the reader can handle which ever level he/she wants. Love that...the mark of a well-written piece - graphic novel or otherwise.

I have it on good authority that issue #11 presents a twist in the narrative, which I welcome and to which I look forward!

I forget how much I enjoy this series. It had been awhile since I read Issues 1-5 but I fell right back into it.
