Hey, anyone else getting this? I'm really enjoying it, and the nods to the Pulp Heroes of the 30's and 40's are great.

It's almost worth not getting "Criminal" as "Incognito" has so much going for it.

Having just rewatched "The Incredibles" and reread Sleeper, the story of Zack Overkill and his life drowning in the mundane is something that's rekindled my flagging interest in american funny books.

I think the only stuff i'm following regularly are the Marvel Brubaker books Daredevil, Captain America and Criminal.

I'm still slightly annoyed they had to take a break off Criminal to get Incognito rolling, but as with Criminal, the discussion of the fiction and the genre and its roots make the total package worth it.

So. Any takers?

Yep, it's totally great, loved the second issue. But this-

Please! Why on earth would you not get both? And have you checked out his immortal Iron Fist run? It's awesome.

Anyway, I'm predicting a movie adaptation of this before Criminal, what do you reckon?
