Velvet, Issue #15 ends the first major arc. There are three arcs that make up this major arc, all revolving around Velvet Templeton, the former field agent for MI-6 turned secretary. When her husband is killed and she is framed, Templeton goes underground in this high-stakes spy thriller set in 1974, the year of the Watergate scandal. The arc is wrapped up to some extent in Issue #14 with Templeton's kidnapping of Richard Fucking Nixon, but this issue ties up a few loose ends.
Ed Brubaker still has work coming out; Kill or Be Killed, Issue #3 comes out today with the same supporting cast of creators. Brubaker is the Supervising Producer on HBO's Westworld, so unfortunately, he won't have as much time to create great comics. I haven't really watched television in the past couple of years (aside from sports), but I've heard Westworld is spectacular.
