Fatale #10

Fatale's second arc comes to a close as Miles retrieves a sacred book from the the cult as Josephine's home is invaded by Hansel and his inner circle who find a Josephine far eager (and able) to fight than the last time they crossed paths.

The final issue works very well in tying up several loose ends, despite being more than a little melancholy as both Josephine's recent former lovers meet tragic ends over the course of the comic. Miles dies in the cult's invasion of Josephine's home and Nicholas Lash begins a long prison stint for murder and, to his horror, discovers what happened to his uncle's missing manuscript.

They comic ends the first ten issues of the series with a bang and leaves plenty of room for more stories and a new direction as Josephine's admission to Miles about her effect on men seems to free her in a way that may not only be dangerous for Hanzel and his friends but whoever may cross her path next. Must-read.
