Pairs well with: the other volumes in the Criminal anthology series, as well as other crime comics by Ed Brubaker. I loved this book and a lot of the credit also has to go to the fabulous art of Sean Phillips, who is always the perfect creative partner for Brubaker’s crime tales. The danger feels real and the stakes are incredibly high and if this is how Criminal starts, I can’t wait to read the other stories in this neo-noir, crime anthology. The second and third acts are superb, mainly because the story veers into a direction you don’t expect and because Brubaker did such a stupendous job at making you care about the two main people in the story. The first act was merely used for setup but once you get to the end of that act, everything goes high octane and then the characters develop quite beautifully. It’s the heist itself and everything that happens after that makes this story so great. It started out okay but it doesn’t really come alive until the heist pops off and turns into an absolute clusterfuck full of rules being broken and double crosses. Up until the heist, I wasn’t sold on this story. Like most crime stories with a noir flavor, there are twists and swerves. It doesn’t take long before he is roped into a heist, which brings in a bunch of unsavory characters. The story pretty much starts off with a bang and gives a lot of insight into the main character, his background and his personal motivations. So what better place to start than the first collected volume? I’ve read a lot of Ed Brubaker’s crime comics up to this point but I still hadn’t picked up an issue or trade paperback of Criminal.
