Fatale

Ed Brubaker
There is something in this series that obviously appeals to me immediately. Raised on Chandler and Hammett I always worried about the ability of comics to handle the stories. My experience of them felt like a pastiche and certainly not true to the genre. This nails it. Tough and hard edged without spilling over into comedy with a storyline that has the potential to be staggering.

At the moment I am only a couple of episodes in but am desperate to know where it is going. It has already served up twists and turns that have so much potential and characters I already care about. Is all Brubaker's work this good? I ask because it has blown my mind and being so early in the series, this is a brilliant entry to the comic book world these days. Cannot recommend highly enough.
