It’s rare when a comic can deliver authentic “holy crap” moments, when an author leads his readers down a path and suddenly throws them in an unexpected direction.  Incognito keeps these precious moments coming frequently and powerfully.  And you are full of shit if you say that you can
see these coming.   

Ingonito follows Zack Overkill, a former super-villain now in the witness protection program.  Zack struggles with trying to live a normal life as the temptation to use his powers constantly tugs at him.  Lurking in the shadows is a nasty bad guy who is intent on taking down Zack.

The world of Incognito is dark and gritty.  No character is filler or predictable.  Everyone has their demons and there are all starting to bare their teeth.  Author Ed Brubaker has a firm grasp of his characters; he knows who they are, what motivates them, and how to piece them into a great story.  This series is only at issue two and it already has the feel of a well-established world.  Sean Philips, penciler, perfectly complements
Brubaker’s words.     

The only drawback to Incognito is that the dynamic duo of Brubaker and Philips has to delay Criminal, their equally great crime noir title.  Good books take time and effort.  This one is a winner.
