SOLICITATIONS: Fatale gets ongoing series
Press Release
Josephine, heroine of Ed Brubaker’s and Sean Phillips Image Comics series FATALE, has carried the curse for decades — able to enthrall men but chased by an ancient evil, she is seemingly destined to cause the ruination of anyone who loves her. The haunting series was originally planned as a mini-series, but Brubaker and Phillips have found that curse of the femme fatale is inexhaustible.

On the Next Major Spoilers Podcast: Criminal: Coward
This week, on the Major Spoilers Podcast, your co-hosts dive into Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ Criminal: Coward.
The series’ story arcs are self-contained and focus on different characters, but these central characters inhabit the same world, grew up in fictional Center City, frequent the same bar, and share a common history of two generations of crime. With his partner Ivan, Tommy Patterson ran the city’s most proficient crew of pickpockets and taught the trade to his eight-year-old son, Leo. When Tommy was arrested and imprisoned for the murder of Teeg Lawless, Ivan took care of Leo and explained to him how following certain rules can keep a criminal “out in the world,” out of both prison and the morgue.

REVIEW: Winter Soldier #9
Or – “What Might Have Been…”
This book is another recent example of something that should have been, in my eyes, more popular that it was. Spinning out of the Fear Itself mega-crossover, featuring the man who successfully took up the shield of Captain America fighting against his own past, written by Ed Brubaker, it seemed like a sure thing. So, what’s going on with Bucky and Natasha? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
