Brubaker and Phillips have done an exceptional job with these comics. Artwork comes across as capable and expressive, fully up to the standards you'd hope for. Scripting and dialog carry the story briskly, and you really feel for the central character. Add in a big handful of the supernatural, vast and dark conspiracies, and it makes for a comic well worth pursuing.
A few things set this apart from the crowd. For one, the Fatale fatalities include herself - over and over. That leads to the second, the everchanging backgrounds: Medieval Europe, WWII battlefields, the American Wild West, and more. It also invites some surprising characters that play into Fatale's mysterious power - or, more mysteriously, don't.
I'm coming back for more.

HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Unlike the previous two volumes, this trade collects four prequels to the Fatale series. Two of which features our mysterious Josephine and two other stories that feature women who share the same resemblance to Jo. All the stories are connected is one way or another.
What I liked about this volume it almost answered the questions we've had about Josephine in the past books. We now know that she is not alone in who she is and what she can do; there are other women who have the power to control men. I liked how the stories were put together. Ed Brubaker is good at story telling.
The thing I didn't like about this book and the reason I gave it a lower rating then the others, was for the fact it was too short. I felt like this need one or two more women like Jo to show the Femme Fatale is a recurring thing in the past. This would have been better if it was a stand-alone graphic novel, rather than within the series.
Overall, this was a good book and so far a perfect series. If you're new two Fatale and want to start read it, this book is a good place to start. Trust me: Josephine has the power to control men just as Ed Brubaker has the power to control his reader. We're under Jo's spell.
