The second arc of FATALE begins here! In modern times, Nicolas Lash hunts for more information about the mysterious Josephine... while in mid-1970s Los Angeles, Jo is trying to establish a new life. But this is post-free love LA, post Manson Family LA, and the hills of Hollywood have dark secrets all their own. BRUBAKER and PHILLIPS's horror-noir masterpiece continues!
This issue is brilliant. It's dark, gritty and most of all, mysterious. Just when we think we know more about what's happening in this series, we realize there is so much we don't know. It's this kind of story telling that keeps things really interesting. This is definitely not a good jumping on point for new readers. I think to really get the most out of this story, you need to start from the beginning. As one of my favorite ongoing books right now, I highly recommend this series to any one who is a fan of dark, gritty noir that will keep you guessing. Beautiful book. I highly recommend it.

Stuff like that happens all the times in comics but the way Sean Phillips draws it makes the image eerie and real when your imagination is captured to such a degree. Dave Stewart's coloring is the icing on the cake of this dark noir that brilliantly keeps every guessing. Read Full Review
It's hard not to feel bad for Miles already -- at a basic level, he's just a man who wanted something, which doesn't bode well for his future with Jo. Read Full Review
The rest of the new arc concerns a new character, a B-movies star named Miles who did a single film with Josephine, and who coincidentally shows up on her doorstep with a mysterious film Josephine wants to know all about and a bleeding young girl after fleeing the party of a local cult. The new arc starts out with a bang. Worth a look. Read Full Review
