Fatale Volume 1: Death Chases Me

My favorite creative team in comics delivrers once again. Overall Fatale is not my favorite title from them, but still a solid read that kept me intrigued all along. Recommended for Ed Brubaker fans, and anyone who enjoys the Criminal series, or any series from Brubaker and Philipps.

Típico relato al estilo del cine negro. Se lee fácilmente pero es tan clasicón..... se han visto tantas veces esas posturas y esa relación entre los personajes, que pierde su originalidad. El aliciente sobrenatural salva el producto. Esta bien.

I really loved this comic book. Unlike most comic books, this one has me guessing nonstop and even it ended with a cliffhanger. It felt like watching a film noir movie more than reading a comic book. Like one of those moves staring Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd. However, unlike film noir movies, this has a H. P. Lovecraft twist. With the tentacles and the occult included. But who is Josephine? She is the reasons to keep reading this comic book. As her character suggests, she draws you into the story craving for more.I have to admit I never read a comic by Image or the Brubaker/Phillips team. Sean Phillips' art really sets the mood: dark and mysterious. Makes you feel like your watch a film noir as I mentioned before. I am fussy with comic book art, but this one fits with the story. His covers are all great too. They look like posters for the film noir movies. I mainly wanted to read this comic because of Ed Brubaker. I really loved his run on Catwoman and missed his writing style. He knew how to write crime/mystery comics I always thought. He can write horror too I guess.Fatale I would highly recommend to anyone who reads good comic books. Sure, this does not have the popular superheroes or science fiction, but it has good horror, mystery, crime, art, and writing. The story may be confusing at first, but everything makes sense at the end. Just who is Josephine and what make us drawn to her?

A great read from a superb creative team. Everything from the writing, inks and colours capture the noir fell excellently. Would recommend to both comic book fans and also fans of the genre. A+
