Review- FATALE: THE DELUXE EDITION VOL. 2



FATALE: THE DELUXE EDITION VOL. 2 (Image, First Printing, 2015; Hardcover)

Collects Fatale #11-24 (cover dates January, 2013- July, 2014)

Writer: Ed Brubaker

Artist: Sean Phillips

Colorists: Dave Stewart and Elizabeth Breitweiser



I quit buying the trades after Volume Four, as the double dip game was getting old back then. I've since quit that merrygoround of upgrade insanity. The first two-thirds of this book were a reread for me, and if you want to see what I thought about Volume Three and Volume Four, feel free to click the links.



We see everything tied together nicely in the fifth arc and are brought to a satisfying conclusion. Fatale is/was a fantastic series. This was easily the best thing that Brubaker and Phillips did...until I read Kill Or Be Killed.
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. Does anyone actually read these books though? It seems like collected edition fans buy stupid amounts of them and they sit unread.

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