In the back of this week’s Criminal: Last of the Innocents #4 (in stores now, and you should definitely buy it because it’s great, by the way), Ed Brubaker teased a brand new project entitled Fatale coming from him and collaborator Sean Phillips, set to be released January 2012. As Brubaker writes in the backmatter,
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.
Brubaker does not elaborate any more than that, but anyone who has read his work on Criminal and/or Incognito with artist Phillips should probably be pretty stoked right about now. We definitely are.
Look for more on this project hopefully soon.
