Incognito #3

This week I had only one pull. Usually with one pull, I'll ignore the long drive back and forth to the comic book store. But when that one pull is a Brubaker/Phillips production I break my habits. Because Brubaker/Phillips are as good as any writer/artist combination in history and Incognito is further evidence of their immense skill. In this issue we meet more of Zack's old (supervillain) friends while Zack tries to figure out how to get rid of his best friend Farmer. Farmer is a bit of a dick, and has some funny ways of using Zack. Well until, everything comes crashing down at once. The (proverbial) shit does hit the (proverbial) fan. And with three issues left to go, a lot can and will happen. Of note is that in Criminal, Brubaker/Phillips used frayed panels, while in Incognito, panels are not even used. Considering most artists would use black pages for this type of story, it's a very interesting choice, one that's very easy on the eyes. There's a quote in a earlier issue, where Zack says he's a file clerk in a world going paperless. Nice to see Ed Brubaker going a little meta, but not overtly.
