Fatale was recommended by a DfN tumblchum several months ago, and I promised to read it once the first several issues were collected.  Fatale: Death Chases Me is that collection, and I can only endorse the initial recommendation.  Brubaker and Phillips are always good, but Fatale is a masterpiece of noir suspense.  And I said as much when I reviewed the collection for Crime Fiction Lover. But don’t just take my word for it. Go read the review, then take my word for it.

coopersdreams asked: Not sure if it's been brought to your attention already, but you might like "Fatale" from Image Comics. It's not exactly hard-boiled detective style, but they've got the atmosphere down pat!

I have heard of this, and it looks quite interesting.  I highly recommend Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ previous efforts: Sleeper, Criminal and Incognito.  Brubaker was also very good with Darwyn Cooke in Catwoman: The Dark End of the Street.  I will certainly track Fatale down once it’s published in a collected edition.
