Fade Out Volume 3 (The Fade Out)

Brubaker and Phillips are at the top of their game here in the final installment of the Fade Out. This pair is now such a powerhouse duo, I'd read anything by these guys.

This was a great ending to a incredible comic series. It's a short series and I loved every panel. The film noir style of the writing and art just made me fall in love with old Hollywood. The characters were dynamic and the places were real. It's a murder mystery that takes you to the 1950's in Hollywood, the golden age. When writers were no bodies and the actors and actresses were kings and queens. It references the Hollywood black list, communism, world war II, Clark Gable and much more. Read this comic if you love film noir and always wanted to know what Hollywood used to be like. It's a must get for any murder mystery lover.This particular book is the ending to the series and I recommend reading the two before part 3. I think that's obvious though. :)It came on time and was a great low pre-order price. I will always recommend this book. Get it now and you won't regret it, I promise.

If you have read the other books in the series then you know how good it already is and its only getting better. Also, everything from the award winning team of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips is always great. Every series they have ever embarked on has been critically acclaimed, some have won and received Eisner nominations, and there are many rumors about film adaptations running amok. 5 stars rightfully earned. Also, the new colorist Elizabeth Beitweiser really brought a new angle to Phillips' gritty and dark art. It added a little color and psychedelic flare that gave that gave this series a whole new feel compared to their previous works. I am sure they will make many projects with this brilliant colorist in the future.

One of the most brilliant Noir books I have ever read in my entire life. What an ending... it's nothing what you expect and everything you didn't know you wanted.If you're tired of all the funny books, the super hero books, do yourself a favor and read a book for the mature reader. Read THE FADE OUT.

If you read the others, the plot is exactly itself through this one. 20-30 minutes of more of the same--random breasts, alcohol, not-so-stunning revelations, and it finishes the prohibition-esque sleaziness of the others.

THE FADE OUT, ACT III by Ed Brubaker is the final part of the fantastic noir series set in the 1940s. The story of murder, sex, Hollywood during its Golden Age, and a bunch of other interrelated topics. The third and final book deals with the attempts by Gil and Charles to try to resolve Val's murder. Unfortunately, they are absolutely TERRIBLE at this and the two drunken screenwriters attempt at something heroic fails miserably. The consequences are heartrending but also extremely well-realized. I am so very glad I tried this book series out.

This was a great ending to the Fade Out series. You finally get answers for everything and in my opinion everything was tied up in a satisfying manner. Really well done.

thank you

Great book from great writer and Artist

El cómic es genial, guión, dibujo y color encajan a la perfección entregando una historia de novela negra de primera clase que te absorbe desde el principio. Ed Brubaker y sus colaboradores son sinónimo de calidad en todos los aspectos de un cómic.Amazon España vende muchos cómics de las editoriales originales de USA (Image en este caso) sin que tengas que esperar a que se publique aquí tiempo después, a diferencia del Amazon de otros países. Eso sí, en inglés, pero si tu nivel lo permite, es un valor añadido. Además, generalmente son ligeramente más baratos que las ediciones españolas.

Buena trama en tres actos. Buena recreación del Hollywood de los 40 y guiños a Chandler, Hammet,... Este es el volumen final en el que todo concluye.

Awesome read.

Brubaker smashed it out of the park with this gorgeous period piece. Absolutely loved it.
