PREVIEW: Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ Incognito

We’ve all seen movies like The Departed where a good guy has to go undercover and the world no longer appears as black and white as it once did. Its a great idea and has been used in many books and movies but, what happens when a villian has to go into witness protection and is stuck trying to be good day after day after day? Can you really live a normal life after years of knowing that rules don’t apply? What happens when two guys that have worked on some awesome comics and won all kinds of awards get together and try to think of something different? You get Icognito.

Incognito is a project that I’ve been waiting to do for some time now,” said Brubaker. “Where Sean and I previously explored a good guy pretending to be bad and losing sight of the difference, Incognito is the flipside.  The story of a bad guy forced to be good, and what happens when he starts to go stir-crazy from the monotony of normal life.  It’s a dark look at good and evil and pulp and noir all in one hard-hitting package.”

If you don’t think this sounds fucking awesome, Marvel has been so kind as to give us a little preview of the awesomeness to come.

Yeah its awesome, but we are going to have to wait till December to read it.
