I recently read the first issue of Ed Brubaker & Sean Philips Marvel/Icon comic series CRIMINAL. It was a pretty good setup issue to show us the world it is set in. It follows the lives of well, criminals….

It looks to be along the lines of Sin City- an unamed city where criminals ply their trade, where violence is quick and easy, and the focus shifts with the story. I like that. We need more crime stories on the shelves and especially when superior writers such as Ed write them.

It is a creator-owned series so there’s no telling what will happen to the characters and that’s part of the charm of it.

I hope this runs for a while……
