Fucking Brubaker and Sean have GOT to be one of the best duos of all time in comics. Knock it out the goddamn park int his one.

What's "The Fade Out"? Well you can all the descriptions but the meat of it is a actress is mysteriously murdered. However, the hollywood movie company who hired are is trying their darnest to cover it all up. In doing so we get to see how dark and twisted a big corporation can be, especially back int he day like this.

Charlie, our main hero here, wakes up in the same room as the dead actress and quickly runs home to his friend Gil, who has been writing screenplays for him for the last few years since he himself has been blacklisted. Once the two start breaking down both emotionally and physically over the death and cover up things get heated up when they decide to solve the case.

Good: The art...man...the fucking art here is amazing. Yes, it's always damn good in Criminal and Kill or Be killed but so damn good here. I also loved the pacing in here. Just when it slows down enough to give human moments or sad moments or tender moments it starts speeding up again with something terrible happening in the background. I also thought the characters were all morally broken and it kept me very interested as it gave a human vibe. The ending is downright sad but works so perfect for the overall topping to the story.

Bad: Some of the last moments in the comic felt a bit rushed.

Overall this was fantastic. Art to writing, Sean and Ed are really one of a kind. I loved this, maybe my 2nd favorite story behind kill or be killed. A 4.5 out of 5 but I'll bump it to a 5.
