Criminal


So a couple of years back I tried to tell every one about a fabulous new book called SLEEPER. Written by Ed Brubaker with art by Sean Phillips, right from the start I thought that it was going to be a huge hit. At the time I thought a book that good had the potential to give even X-Men a run for it's money. After four years here at Star Clipper, I now look back and see where I might have been mistaken. No matter how good a book might be, there are just some people who will not buy a non-super hero comic. There are other people who love comics, but would not buy a super hero book if their life depended on it. I don't know why that is, but it just is.

But now I have decided to try and appeal to all of you again. Brubaker and Phillips have again re-teamed to bring CRIMINAL to light. In the debut issue, we meet Leo, who can plan the perfect heist... but only if he can be convinced the job is safe enough. See, Leo is not a shoot-first think-later guy; Leo is a professional. But to some criminals, even professionals, the right payout is worth almost any risk. So when an old friend and a crooked cop approach with a plan to seize millions of dollars in contraband from an evidence transport van, Leo must make tough choices, knowing there’s nothing you can trust less in this world than a cop on the take.

CRIMIAL debuted Wednesday, October 4th.
