Does foul language offend you? Are you put off by blood, violence
and brutality? Do you frown upon escaping reality through the use of
illegal drugs? Does date rape just not sit well with you for some
reason? Perhaps the fact a person may do all these deeds and more with
no regret upsets you?

If you answered yes to any of the above then there is no need to read the rest of this review. Find another book. Incognito is not for the feint of heart, queasy stomached, and morally just comic reader.

However, if you started to get antsy with anticipation and
excitement at the thought of the above . . .  seek help and moral
guidance, but before you do get this book and start reading!

The Eisner Award winning duo of Ed Brubaker and Sean  Phillips have
teamed up once again to bring us a dark, gritty, and intriguing
super-heroic noir tale. A tale that starts off with fast, brutal, nose
shattering, blood spattering action.

The first issue of Incognito introduces us to Zack Anderson, a man
who has lost his family, been stripped of his identity, dignity, and
sense of self worth, a man “imprisoned” by the government, and a man
who has turned to drugs to help him cope with what his life has become.
Fortunately for Zack, spiraling to the lowest point of his life might
be just what he needed.

Brubaker and Phillips do a fantastic job of telling a story that
maintains a steady, fast pace and by the end of the first issue leaves
the reader desiring more. You will not want more due to a lack of
gratification, oh no.Your craving for more Incognito will be fueled by a desire to see what will happen to Zack and to learn more about his past.

If Brubaker and Phillips maintain consistency as they have in the
past, not only will you get your hard scavenged monies worth, but like
me you will probably make room in your budget to add Incognito to your pull of monthly titles. You will get your $3.50 out of this book.
