Brubaker and Phillips' newest hit series, The Fade Out, is an epic noir set in the world of noir itself, the backlots and bars of Hollywood at the end of its Golden Era. A movie stuck in endless reshoots, a writer damaged from the war and lost in the bottle, a dead movie star and the lookalike hired to replace her. Nothing is what it seems in the place where only lies are true. The Fade Out is Brubaker and Phillips' most ambitious project yet! Collecting: The Fade Out 1-4

0 0I may have mentioned a few (thousand) times that I adore Ed Brubaker's writing. He has a talent for writing dark, crime/noir stories that just grab you by the heart and refuse to let go from the first page to the last.
Fade Out is the latest series from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips and honestly one of their best. I was a huge fan of Fatale, Criminal and Incognito but noir is where these two really shine. The story pits two screenwriters against the corruption of glamorous 1940's Hollywood as they try to discover the truth behind the suspicious death of an up-and-coming star. It's brutal and compelling full of well-rounded, flawed characters that Brubaker so excels at writing. Phillips' art is a perfect complement to Brubaker's writing and I really cannot recommend it highly enough.
