Review: I’ve read a lot of Ed Brubaker’s crime comics up to this point but I still hadn’t picked up an issue or trade paperback of Criminal. Marvel Comics, Image Comics (reprint), 143 Pages.
“ Last year was the hardest year of my entire life, for a variety of reasons, and this is the book I wrote during that time.” Brubaker also relates some of the surprising turns the story took as he was writing it, going to places even he wasn’t anticipating: “ That it's a thrilling and at times funny book actually surprised me, but looking at it now, it feels like I poured a bunch of pain and fear into a blender and turned it into a beautiful book for you all to read and laugh about and hopefully get something out of.Item Location New York, United States Ships To United States, Australia, Canada, Albania, Argentina, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegowina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, Falkland Islands, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, French Guiana, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Greenland, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Holy See (Vatican City State), Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Jamaica, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Martinique, Mexico, Moldova, Republic of, Monaco, Montserrat, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadin, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, St. Written by: Ed Brubaker Art by: Sean Phillips, Val Staples. " This is a weird book for us,” Brubaker writes in his newsletter, going on to detail how the past year informed the story’s creation. Given that Brubaker and Phillips have routinely captured the hard-boiled tone in works like Criminal and The Fade Out, it will be exciting to see the pair tackle another aspect of film noir with this latest project. The pages capture the eerie, just left-of-center feel of a David Lynch film, while the masked couple headed to a costume ball can’t help but recall the ethereal, dreamlike quality of Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. 1: COWARD-a new take on noir that turned the heist story on its head and created a whole new underworld for BRUBAKER & PHILLIPS to explore.
Looking at the preview pages by Sean Phillips and colored by Jacob Phillips (“ the best father-son team in comics,” according to Brubaker), Night Fever looks to be quite the departure for comics’ premier creative duo.
