Criminal
is a series of knife-sharp, noir-tinged tales about the people who live on the wrong side of the law.
In
Coward
, the first storyline, pickpocket Leo — a man who always leaves himself a way out — finds himself in over his head when he’s dragged into a dangerous heist, and winds up getting too close to a burnt-out former junkie. Torn between his instinct to run and his emotions, can he stay out of harm’s way?
By award-winning writer Ed Brubaker (
Gotham Central
) and acclaimed artist Sean Phillips (
Marvel Zombies
), this gritty take on society’s underbelly has been critically acclaimed and a commercial smash — it’d be criminal to miss it!
"Writer Ed Brubaker understands how to tell a great genre story as well as any storyteller out there, and in the pages of Criminal, it's a hell of a lot of fun watching him spin a familiar heist-gone-wrong story into a riveting character study of seriously flawed yet very human individuals." --
