I feel bad for anyone who is reading this book digitally, I feel worse for anyone who isn’t reading it at all. I don’t know what it is but Fatale is printed on a almost newsprint feeling paper that just invokes a feeling of reading a 40’s pulp story from a newsstand and God love this book for it.

into the actual book though aside from my gushing Fatale continues its slow burn but this issue gives us a serious look at what story there is and a little more of the curtain is drawn but still yet we can only see a tentacle here or a raven there which just makes me more and more excited for this book.

The cover is amazing as always and the inside art keeps the same great style it has had for the past 2 issues. Sean Phillips knows just how to make Brubakers story pop and really draw you in.

On the story side of things the only thing i could say against the book is just that its all buildup but unlike the last two issues that felt almost purely buildup there are a few answers given in this issue, its just that theres 10 more brought up by each syllable of the answer. This is where this book triumphs and i know normally I’m critical and will go on about little things and I guess I can give one.

The only problem with his book is it feels like its written for trade and not for individual issues, but I’m alright with that

In Short: Buy this book if your a horror fan or a noire fan, and if your both, buy the book, then buy the trades.
