Nicely paced, great art, great writing

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2019

I had been wanting to read a crime noir story for a while and for some reason never though about looking into it in comic/graphic novel form, until I found this. It's a great murder mystery drama set in old school hollywood (think L.A. Noire). Solid characters, great art, and smooth narrative made me enjoy this page turner. This book would be just as great in black and white, but the coloring is fantastic as well. I recommend this for those who are looking to take a break from superhero stuff or the more fantastical reading options (i would switch off this and other books after each chapter, it's a great change of pace).

Comic Noir from Brubaker & Phillips

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

The Fade Out is a crime drama in the tradition of the great Hollywood mystery thrillers. There has always been elements of film noir in Brubaker/Phillips projects, but here they go all in with much success. Nice color work by Elizabeth Breirweiser, though the story might have worked just as well in black and white.

Great story and characters!

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2019

This story doesn't fade out but rather runs full speed from start to finish. While the world building is large in scope, the main cast is just the right size with supporting characters who move the story along without lingering unnecessarily. This was a very good read and I highly recommend it.

This is a stunning piece of noir artwork. Gripping story that made me hate and love the same characters. Perfectly drawn and colour. A gripping story. I felt right in the moment as if I was present in the silver screen of the 40’s and 50’s a must read for all film noir thriller fans

Scary good.

Reviewed in Canada on July 13, 2020

Brubaker and Phillips's work on The Fade Out is some of the most griping story-telling you'll ever experience, in any media format.

It's that good.

You may be on the fence, you may think, noir? I don't think I like noir, I'm not sure a Hollywood period-piece in the noir genre is for me. I like comic books!

I will simply ask you this, do you love a great story in a visual format? You do? Then you're in for a treat.

You will hate to love and love to hate all of the main characters in this book, it's absolutely dripping with fleshed-out living, breathing, interesting characters with plausible arcs and quirks.

The story is full of intrigue and the goings-on of the period is truly interesting stuff, as are the references and 'outings' of the era.

I believe The Fade Out to be one of the finest examples of the Graphic Novel medium. There is excellence of execution in all facets of this book. All three of Brubaker, Phillips and Breitweiser work in symphonic harmony on this project, it's truly a work of art in all three regards, story, illustration and colouring.

The mood and setting and environment are palpable, you can feel all of it.

This book doesn't receive the credit it deserves, it's very strong work.

Read it in one go

Reviewed in Germany on June 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a really great book, but it does go to some very dark places, it's not exactly a feel-good read. But it is undoubtedly a work of art. The art is really beautiful and it manages to elicit the feel of the late 1940s, the post war paranoia about communism etc.. I think that the plot is complex enough that revisiting this book will bring out details I missed the first time around, which I look forward to doing. I can recommend reading it whilst listening to some Noir-esque jazz.
