Blackstone is ready to explode! Piotr has beaten every thug, mercenary, and soldier Petropinnacle has sent to kill him. Now, the city's true ruler steps up to show this tired KGB dog what true power is.
Crude #5 is the best issue of this book yet. More than a stage-setter for next months first arc conclusion, this comic is rich with revelations about its lead character and the world hes beaten his way into. This series is career-best work for both Brown and Orlando, must-read comics. Read Full Review
I'm still really enjoying the art teams work here, especially the splash of Piotr fighting on his own. I found the style works best with the action panels and for the most part works well when things are calm. It's a style I do think not everyone will enjoy but I just like how it helps mesh everything with how gritty Blackstone as everyone here is meant to look rough like they go through hard times every day. I have not read a lot from Steve Orlando but I have to say that Crude is definitely something everyone should pick up as it stands well among many other books. Read Full Review
