Fatale anyone?

[ThoseBackPages]

does Fatale #13 mark the end of the "one shots"? or is #13 the beginning of the third arc?

Issue 14 will be the last flashback one shot

Great Issue! MIlkfed by far my favorite character out of the whole flashbacks series.

 

Still waiting to find out the origin of the Devil Squids.

 

Glad to hear they're working on Coward as well.

This may be my favorite cover of the series so far after the Beast version of #1:

for you for bumping my favourite thread

 

and for DRE cause he is a BOSS

So does anyone else feel like this book has lost steam? I recently dropped it because I just didn't see where it was going. It has that feel of too many questions without enough answers.

 

If books weren't $3.99 these days I'd probably still be pulling it, but my list got away from me. I'd really like to see these guys do another Sleeper volume or Criminal story.

I'll admit that I'm about 4-5 books behind in reading it. It is something I like to read in bunches, and benefits from that. I can't disagree that it feels a bit murky because of the unresolved questions that linger. I still like the book though.

[Manilasunset-migration]

Regardless of it selling well or not in the secondary market, I'll still continue reading this book.

 

Big fan of Brubaker and Phillips.

 

IMO #13 was the best oneshot.

Yea I do think it would make for better trade reading. Sometimes the books that are a bit confusing are too much for a massive pull list. It makes it hard to follow from month to month and remember exactly what happened. It is why sometimes I really love the recap page on certain books.

It's the only modern I currently read... and I think it's getting better as it goes

Honestly, this is a great book and I will continue to read it, but there have been too many one-shots in a row. It has definitely made the book lose a lot of steam by veering off the main path too long. Probably would have been a lot better/cooler if they just did 1 one-shot in-between each story arc?

[ThoseBackPages]

i picked it up, but havnt read it. havnt read the one-shots yet either

+1

[CBT]

its an amazing series, but i do agree, while the one shots are great to read, they have caused the story to stall ever so slightly. I think EACH one shot could have been its own mini series, or spin off book, and i hope he does that some day.

 

Love this story, the characters, and the world.

Brubaker needs to finish Criminal and Incognito first.

Brubaker needs to finish Criminal and Incognito first.

 

Are those books that need finishing? And I didn't think the second volume of Incognito was nearly as good as the first.

[Dissonance-migration]

Yes.

Phillips has been producing some of the best covers out there. This one is a superb example. I also love #1, 4,8 and 12.

 

 

[ChrisInBaltimore]

Yes.

 

I meant more that they seem to be ongoing stories that thy are just telling volumes off. Don't finish them off!

Brubaker had an arc that he'd written before last of the innocent, but delayed it because his father's death inspired last of the innocent and he wanted to do that instead.

 

I love Fatale, but criminal is, in my opinion, brubaker's best work. I would love to see more.
