Incognito

In this taut 2010–2011 noir thriller from Delcourt, a former supervillain living under a false identity in witness protection is dragged back into a world of violence and secrets. Written by Ed Brubaker and Nick Meylaender with moody, shadow-drenched art by Sean Phillips, the series explores the cost of a hidden past and the impossibility of escape. A sharp, compact two-issue run, it matters as a distilled collaboration between creators who excel at crime-tinged superhero deconstruction.
