Criminal

The best single issue of 2008 is in this trade paperback.




Ed Brubaker's interlocking single issue tales lit a fire under his crime in the city comic book. The first two stories, Coward and Lawless, were both slow burns. But this issue crackles like an arson on the cheap side of town. If you're not an Amazon kind of guy and live in the Panama City area go see Greg at Comic Emporium. He'll find you this issue.

And and and if you're a crime guy or doll, a Sin City guy, a Goodfellas guy, or you watch COPS on the tv, then this is the issue for you. Well, maybe not cops but you get the idea.

If you get the trade the other issues add texture and are good, maybe great all by themselves. But issue 2 man, issue 2 will keep you up nights.

By the way, the issue is called "A Wolf Among Wolves."
