2.0 out of 5 stars Fatally lost 21 July 2012
By Noel TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
The book follows a mysterious beautiful woman - the Fatale of the title - called Jo who is attached to several men and, in true noir Femme Fatale fashion, proves to be the downfall of each of them. She's on a journey to escape the life she's leading - that of mistress to a detective who is getting more distant from her by the day - with a journalist but she's harbouring dangerous secrets and soon she's fighting for her life as a Demonic cult sets its sights on her as their next sacrifice.

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' series "Criminal" is first class comic book artistry at its finest; "Incognito" not so much; and "Sleeper" was so boring I didn't make it halfway through the first book. So when I saw "Fatale" I was heartened that it looked so much like the "Criminal" series - perhaps this was one of the better Brubaker/Phillips collaborations! Alas it's not. Here's why.

The book might work well as a straight crime noir story much like "Criminal" but it veers off into the kind of horror territory found in Mike Mignola's BPRD series. The horror elements sit awkwardly within the noir and when the detective turns out to be somewhat supernatural himself the tone of the piece feels a bit off.

Then there's the plot. It's unclear what each character wants and why. The detective, Booker, is sick and dying of some mysterious illness causing him to betray Jo to the Demonic Cult but it turns out that he and Jo are both "dead" already (though how they could be dead but alive is never explained) so it must be some kind of illness that affects the living dead (but he's not a zombie). Then there's the Cult - what are their goals again - something generic like ruling the world? And how about the Fatale herself, Jo, what does she want out of all this?

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it in one sitting Amazing 4 Mar 2013
Format:Paperback
This book is so good hat I read it in one go, could not put it down. I found myself fully engrossed in the world Brubaker and Phillips created. I am a huge fan of incognito but this is even better, excellent writing and great art work. I have never read anything like it and is a breath of fresh air from the over abundance of men in tights. Must read

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top 3 best comics of 2012 2 Aug 2012
Format:Paperback
Brubaker and Phillips continue to assert their status of best creative team in comics right now. Expanding on the critical and commercial success of their noir series, Criminal , Fatale adds in classic horror elements to the formula and the result is an expertly written, beautifully drawn mystery that won't let you go until it's dragged you into the darkness with it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh... Not so hot 17 Feb 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
For me, this is Brubaker and Phillips' worst work together that I have read.
It is still good, but the noir and supernatural elements, for me, didn't really make sense together and, to be honest, it kind of bored me.
Maybe the problem is I had great expectations and can't help but feel it fell a bit short. Art is Phillips' normal good art (I can't call it great, I just never thought he WAS great, only good - it's my opinion, I know some people love it), but the writing disappointed me a bit.
I will re-read it one of these days and see if I was missing something the first time around, but I never had to do that with Criminal, which just rocked. I have not picked up nor will I pick up the second volume, unless I get that "hmmm" after the second read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! Brubaker & Phillips finest yet 13 Oct 2012
By Bogart
Format:Paperback
I wanted to write this review in order to balance out the excessively negative review i saw above. This is Brubaker & Phillips finest work yet. The fact that the previous reviewer said Sleeper was "boring" suggests they dont realy like Brubaker/Phillips much at all anyway. This seems to be what Brubaker has been working up to all along, and now he has honed his writing to the next level with this series. Honestly, its brilliant and a must read for fans of Brubaker and Phillips previous work.
