Brubaker & Phillips
Fans of Brubaker and Phillips know their kind of story and the style very well. On the off chance that someone hasn't read Criminal, Incognito or Sleeper I will try to explain how this all works and the nuisances for this particular issue. The bottom line is that Brubaker and Phillips tell dark stories that are about shady characters where the story takes their lives from one twist to the next and the true "plot" doesn't really become clear until the very end. The comics are done very well and each series has it's own twist on it and this one creeps into the horror genre that has ties to HP Lovecraft. This is an excellent first issue.
