Fatale

From Ed Brubaker and Sean Philips, the masterminds behind some of Image and Marvel Comics’ biggest hits, comes the electrifying Fatale. This is the story of the mysterious Jo, a beautiful immortal whose supernatural ability to attract men and monsters alike will send her hurtling across the decades in a bloody rush. The plot shifts between time periods to reveal the fates of Jo and those under her sway, as one lover after another finds himself entangled in a bloody mystery with apocalyptic implications. Jo is a powerful, complex heroine, struggling to hold onto her humanity throughout her brutal battle for survival. Fatale blends noir, feminism, fantasy, historical fiction, mystery, horror, and the occult for a truly addictive brew. The rich American landscapes and gore-spattered altars are picked out in equally loving detail by Philips, while Brubaker displays a masterful talent for whip-smart dialogue and rich worldbuilding. Love her, fear her, want to be her…the legend of Jo turns every trope on its head to create an American fable worthy of the name.
