Maybe not their prose style, but Greg Rucka has a few pretty
recognizable character types that he works with. A certain
type of hard-edged wisecracking female protag and/or sidekick
-- whether it's Bridgett Logan or Huntress or his
protagonists in "Queen & Country" or
"Whiteout." (To keep strictly on topic -- the latter is a
noir novel any way you slice it; it just happens to be in
graphic form). I can't speak for the other writers, but I'd
be surprised if there aren't thematic carryovers. In fact,
the upcoming Duane Swierczynski
'Punisher' I heard described at New York Comic Con sounds a
lot like the plot of 'The Blonde.' Just an observation.
