The best monthly comic on the market keeps the hits coming! Young Ricky Lawless and Leo (from CRIMINAL, VOL. 1: COWARD) take the spotlight this issue, as the epic story of the death of Teeg Lawless continues! As always, CRIMINAL contains back page art and articles only found in the single issues.
Criminal’s seventh issue is another gritty and exciting issue with plenty of hints to other parts of the story that have me ecstatic for more of the series. Criminal is the series I most look forward to every month and as long as this team continues to put out excellent issues like this one and the previous six, it’ll hold on to that place.

While knowledge of what has gone before is useful to add to the enjoyable experience of this issue, Criminal #7 is a decent jumping on point for new readers, as the main event " the next heist, is just around the corner.

'Criminal' #7 by Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips and Jacob Phillips continues the excellent 'Cruel Summer' and once again cements this title as one of the best on-going monthly books the comic book medium has to offer. Read Full Review

Sean Phillips' art is fantastic. Both the style and the use of shadows throughout give the reader a sense of the dark, ominous tone of the story. A great looking issue. Read Full Review
Criminal #7 is yet another reminder that this genre-based series is not defined by its story, but by the immense imaginations and interests of two of the form's modern masters. Read Full Review
In a disarming turn, the tension is further deflated from this arc. But it's in service of an endearing albeit rough-edged portrait of the Lawless gang. Read Full Review
