Single issues of complete series Fatale
I enjoyed this series a lot, though it is certainly not perfect. It's a good mixture of noirish detective story with cult/Lovecraft horror. Mostly serialized, with a few standalone issues which are weirdly in the midpoint of the series. After reading this I will definitely pick up some more by Brubaker/Phillips, I really enjoyed (most of) the writing and the art style.
From Wikipedia:
Fatale chronicles the life of Josephine, or "Jo", an archetypal femme fatale who is seemingly immortal, having survived from the 1930s to the modern day unaged, and also has a supernatural ability to hypnotize men into becoming intensely infatuated with her, whether she wants them to be or not.
Through the decades, Jo struggles to understand and control her powers while being pursued by a violent cult. The cult worships cosmic gods reminiscent of Lovecraftian horrors, which are somehow tied to Jo.

Absolutely! This is the only Ed Brubaker I've read so far, but apparently he is the one who wrote/created The Winter Soldier in Captain America. I'm really looking forward to reading more of his crime/noir stuff.

I highly recommend Criminal and Incognito. Both amazing series.

Awesome, thank you for the recommendation! I'm also excited to read The Fade Out, which was made right after Fatale. Have you read that series?

I've read the first few issues. I have the series in CBR. I can upload it when I get home tonight. I think it was 12 issues?
