Fatale ? The New Ed Brubaker And Sean Phillips Comic For 2012

[BC Blog Editor]

In the final (and rather wonderful) issue of Criminal: Last Of The Innocent, out this week, Ed Brubaker talks about his and Sean Phillips' next project for Marvel's Icon imprint, in the back.

It's called Fatale.

Brubaker says;

Fatale is a bigger story, one that'll run at least 12 issues, and I think it brings a new twist to noir (or at least, a new twist to my noir).

In the next month or so, you should see previews of it online and in various places, so I don't want to spoil it too much, but I'm very excited about it. It's an idea I've been wanting to get into for a few years now, an epic noir/horror story that takes place from the 1930s to the present.

Presumably it will feature a female lead...

Jim Shooter lawsuit to follow...

Great news, those two can do no wrong when they work as a team.

The only down side to this is that it will slow things up for Incognito and Criminal, I did not mind those 2 titles alternating release.

I keep reading this, but I was under the impression after reading the issue, that Brubaker was just saying that "Fatale" is the next Criminal arc, not a whole new project/book - and will just be longer than the usual arcs... am I confused?

Never mind, I was confused. I asked for clarification via Twitter and received this response:

@ComicsAstonish A new project.

That's exactly what I was thinking--this sounds fabulous, but I'm also dying for the promised sequel to Coward and the Criminal and Incognito annuals.

This is a vote for Sleeper being brought back into the nuDC. Thanks Ed and Sean for your great work!

I'll buy anything by the Brubaker/Phillips duo, no questions asked. They've yet to disappoint.
