Priced at $3.99 for close to 40 pages of story, plus eight bonus pages of backstory and exposition by Brubaker in the back, Criminal #1 is a strong start to what I hope will be a great new entry in the Criminal mythos, and definitely worth buying. I'm very optimistic about whatever Brubaker and Phillips have planned for their next foray into one of the best crime comic series of the 21st century. I expect big things. If I know those two, they won't let me down.
