[3] The Broadway continuity, like Shooter's two previous attempts, took place in real time and the characters rarely wore superhero uniforms.
Only five issues were published before the abrupt demise of Broadway Comics, leaving the storyarc unfinished.
Created by former Marvel Comics editor Jim Shooter, Fatale follows the adventures of Desirée Hopewell, a woman who has the ability to leech memories and energy from people by kissing them, and her battles with an evil organization called The Brotherhood.
The title's end coincided with the demise of Shooter's Broadway Comics venture.
According to The Standard Catalog of Comic Books (Krause, 2002), the comic was promoted in a distributor's catalog with a "life-size" image of Fatale's clothed bust, which the book labelled "one of the biggest advertising missteps in recent memory."
