Review- FATALE: THE DELUXE EDITION VOL. 1


The double dip is the bane of the collected editions fan's existence. The upgrade is a never ending chase to experience a story in the finest “fidelity” possible. It's the comic book equivalent of being an audiophile. Collected editions are a curse, but so too is the femme fatale...


FATALE: THE DELUXE EDITION VOL. 1 (Image, First Printing, 2014; Hardcover)

Collects Fatale #1-10 (cover dates January- November, 2012)

Writer: Ed Brubaker

Artist: Sean Phillips

Colorists: Dave Stewart



Since this was a double dip and reread, I turn you over to my reviews for Volume One and Volume Two of the trades to see what I thought at the time. This held up every bit as well on the reread years later.
Junk Food For Thought rating: 5 out of 5.



The OCD zone- This is the part where I go into tactile sensations and materials used in physical media. Those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or women who are pregnant should exit my blog at their earliest convenience, as their safety cannot be guaranteed beyond this point.

Paper stock: Thick coated stock with minimal glare.

Binding: Sewn binding. I dislike the squared spine found on so many hardcovers these days. While they look pretty on your bookshelf they are less enjoyable to handle when you actually read your books.

Hardback cover notes: Image printed on the casewrap. No dustjacket required. The coating on the casewrap is matte and is resistant to scuffing.
