Self confessed Ex-Army Brat Ed Brubaker has been bringing back the noir into comics in a way not seen since the heyday of Frank Miller. With series full of disreputable shady types up to all sorts of no good - his most well-known series is called Criminal which should tell you everything you need to know. The type of writer who's never met an anti-hero that he didn't want to make you fall in love with - the stories he writes luxuriates in the seedy, down-trodden and randomly violent: with lots of chunks of moral ambiguity to make them stick in your teeth. No surprise then that he's the one responsible for killing Captain America (well - at least for a little while).
