34/100 This wasn't the conclusion that I wanted, but I guess it is the ending that best suits the story. In the end, there's no justice, for anyone, people die, the studio covers more scandals, and everyone shrugs and goes about their business as if it's all supposed to be this way. 3.75/5 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

33/100 The mystery deepens as our writer "hero" foolishly falls in love with the actress hired to replace the other actress. Plenty of secrets come out, dirty tricks, sexual assaults, perversions, scandals the studio is willing to kill to keep quiet. Charlie, the writer, is too drunk most of the time to realize the real danger he is involved in. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

32/100 A very dark and gritty story of late 1940s Hollywood. A young starlet is found dead, and the studio rushes to cover up the scandal. A screenwriter, with writer's block, becomes involved because he knows the studio's story isn't true. It's very dark, there aren't any really likeable characters, even the MMC is a coward you folds under studio pressure to keep quiet. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

It takes an amazing writer like Brubaker to take the tired, beaten-down ‘vigilante‘ trope and breathe new life into it (with a supernatural twist). A depressed grad student tries to commit suicide but instead becomes enthralled by a dark power that propels him to take lives or suffer consequences. Another crime classic by Brubaker. Recommended!

The 9th volume so I‘m not sure what to say about the story without spoiling it.

But who need family when they treat you like this?

I have thought about rereading all the volumes since it‘s a long time since I started on volume one

The Department of Truth is a secret organization responsible for keeping dangerous conspiracy theories from becoming real — by the percentage of the population that believes in them. The art is dark, messy, and beautiful. As a fan of the X-FILES, I should be all over this, but despite the great concept, the characters are generic and the narrative is too familiar. Worth checking out if you‘re a fan of these themes. If not, you won‘t miss much.

I so enjoy the return to Fairyland.

You can almost feel the joy Skottie Young while writing these stories

While Gert loves a good fight, these covers make her more brutal than she is.

When a werewolf isn‘t a werewolf anymore

Let me just state this up-front. Ed Brubaker is the absolute best crime fiction writer in comics today.
This story centers on an elderly writer in 1930's New York, whose pulp stories are true events from his secret past as an outlaw in the Wild West. He must now use his gritty experiences to help fight an encroaching darkness in the present. Short, but like an arrow hitting a target dead on, this is certainly worth the ride.
