Fatale #15

Ya know, I am starting to feel bad for these guys. The comic actually hasn’t shown what happens when Jo leaves these men. I am guessing that they die to protect her. Who knows but pretty soon the comic is going to have to show what happens to these dudes and it will probably be the most revealing thing yet. Read Full Review

Fatale #15 is another excellent entry that births a new arc that may not be an ideal beginning point for the uninitiated but it comes recommended nonetheless. Read Full Review

That being said, this is not for the faint of heart as there are certain details that will sure raise some eyebrows and turns some heads in disgust. Despite the gruesome warning, it is still an enjoyable read that will have you coming back for more. Overall, if the reader wants a dark comic that is written by the industries best writers this is the title for them. It has a lot going for it and consistently been praised for both plot & art.

FATALE continues to draw me in. Maybe it's Jo's eyes; more likely, it's Brubaker and Phillips spinning a beautiful, dark story that just doesn't stop fascinating. Read Full Review

A great sample of Brubaker's writing skills, though it's a little hard to tell where he's going with his latest arc. Read Full Review

If there's one thing that can continue without needing a change it's Sean Phillips' art, which is again wonderfully gritty and properly noir, even as we move farther away from its conventional time period. Read Full Review

"Fatale" #15 is the sort of issue where it's good, but the greatness comes when you sit down with a bunch of issues and see how it all fits together. Of that, I've got no doubt. If you've never read "Fatale" before, it also feels like a good place to give it a try for yourself and see if you like it. But when you're done? Pick up "Fatale" #11-14 (which were just collected in the third trade paperback), and you'll get an idea of why people are so crazy for this series. This issue is good, but the series as a whole is just plain great. Read Full Review

I'm happy to see Lash's return but the length of his story cuts into the opening of Josephine's new arc which has to spend several pages introducing Lance as well. This means the crux behind the new arc is teased but not really shown. Still, fans of Fatale should enjoy themselves here. Worth a look. Read Full Review

. . $3.50, 24pgs + 3pgs backup. Almost NO ADs! Grade A semi-wrap cover. Nice paper, design and weight. . . A new arc begins with a very good issue. After a series of 'one-shots' showing others through time with the same Fatale affliction, we back to Lash, recent times and the regular ongoing plot. Brubaker gives us Lash piecing bits together, out of jail through action, violence and gore. Three new characters are thrust into play and a lot of intrigue is on. Sean Phillips is absolutely on his game and Bettie Breitweiser is fantastic on colors. While ive been annoyed by the delays, i am quite glad i have stayed on. This is a great time to jump into one of the best titles on the market.
