When Good Guys Go Bad: Brubaker

I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted. But if you're not a comic fan or haven't heard of Ed Brubaker and his recent CRIMINAL series (blink-blink...rubs eyes with disbelief), take a pull on his new series INCOGNITO. It will blow you away. Crime fiction lovers can really sink their teeth into Brubaker's mastery of bleak options, brisk language, and plot pacing playing out against the backdrop of retired/disgraced superheros. Yesterday #4 came out. Catch up.
