While Ed Brubaker didn’t attend this year’s NYCC, he still managed to announce a new comic- Fatale, a creator owned book he’s doing with Sean Phillips.
The story will take place across various periods of time, ranging from the 1930′s to present day, and mixes the noir elements Brubaker’s best at with something a little more strange and sinister. It will feature colors by the always wonderful Dave Stewart. You can check out a short trailer below that contains a more in-depth explanation of the series and showcases some of the book’s gorgeous art:
