is listed as coming out on December 26 and is available for
pre-order on Amazon. Though if you like the flavor of the
first volume, and have access to a good comics store, I
recommend looking for the arc in single issues (the current
one would be issues 6-9, with 10 coming out soon). The single
issues have a lot of bonus material, including Brubaker and
other writers talking about noir films and books that
influenced them. Some people may find the monthly serial
format annoying, but I think it's kind of a cool throwback,
and (unlike the problem with a lot of comics these days) the
issues have been coming out more or less on time. And if
you're interested in future issues but don't have a store
convenient, I'm sure Marvel/Icon will sell you a
subscription.
