    Comics Bulletin - Matthew J. Brady

    Dec 02, 2008

    That perfect combination of writing and art is what makes this book the best example of crime comics currently on the market. Brubaker and Phillips have nailed the particular alchemy that combines strong, believable emotion, compelling, realistic plots, and the noir mood that seems to permeate through to the very fiber of the pages. Let's hope their brief hiatus to work on the supervillain series Incognito doesn't derail it in any way. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Resources - Chad Nevett

    Dec 04, 2008

    A strong end to a typically strong story that proves, yet again, that "Criminal" is one of the best comic books out there, both in its craft and its content. Brubaker and Phillips grab you from page one and don't let go, even after the final page, as that final panel will stay with you for a while. Read Full Review

    IGN - Dan Phillips

    Above all else, Criminal also remains one expertly crafted product. Between the brilliant main story, the sleek, glossy pages, Brubaker's regular letter to fans and the bonus article (this week sees Mark Rahner sit down with iconoclastic crime writer Andrew Vachss for a fantastic interview/article) there's plenty of material in here to justify the $3.50 cover price. Hell, Criminal is the one book that I wouldn't mind paying more for. I'm going to severely miss this book while it's gone on hiatus. Read Full Review
