Incognito

Ed Brubaker has been huge. Along with Bendis and Rucka they have really revitalized writing in the comic world. Looking back in the late 90s we had the Lee, Silversti, and McFarlane triumvirate which really brought art up to snuff but then we really had no good writing. It was all flash. Now with this writing (which is really essential to good comic books) trio we really have had a renaissance. Good plots with meaningful stories that aren't just all flash. Brubaker's run on Capt America has just been awesome. So with all this I decided that Incognito would be probably pretty good and it has been. I especially like the history lesson on the pulp all stars. The series had series of articles on pulp characters by Jess Nevins on: The Shadow (#1), Doc Savage (#2), The Spider (#3), Operator No. 5 (#4), Fu Manchu (#5), and Zeppelin Pulps (#6). Overall a pretty good series.
