Incognito

Incognito is a new series from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. Scheduled to begin in December 2008, the five-part story will be released under Marvel's creator-owned imprint, Icon. In a nutshell, the story is about a super-powered villain attempting to hide out in the witness protection program. Like Sleeper, the protagonist of Incognito has super-powers. However, according to published reports Incognito will be more of a crime noir story, where Sleeper was a bit more like Watchmen-- an exploration of human nature in a world much like our own where some people just happen to have super powers. The new story will also have somewhat of an espionage theme, not unlike Bruabaker's current presentation of Captain America. Suffice it to say that we will see a very dark and pulpy blend of genres.

Like Criminal, Incognito will fill out the 36 pages with prose articles in the back. Reportedly, there will be more articles about the pulp realm, such as Doc Savage and the Shadow, as well as articles about the world that the comics industry grew out of.
