AIPT - Alex Curtis
Mar 19, 2019In two issues, Brubaker and the Philips have crafted a story about comics and the people behind them with more depth than most series achieve with years worth of arcs. Read Full Review

Mar 20, 2019The issue is amazing blending fact and fiction to deliver a comic that entertains but will also leave you pondering the truth of it all. Criminal is three issues in and one of the best comics on the market (again). It's not too late to dive in as this is a comic that should be on everyone's pull list. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Nathan Koffler
Mar 23, 2019This issue is fantastic from beginning to end. There is not a single thing that is lacking in the storytelling or the artwork. Criminal (2019) #3 serves as another perfect entry to a rebooted series that has so far also been flawless. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Robert Mammone
Mar 23, 2019A great story and a meta-take on the shoddy treatment meted out to the great comic book artists and writers of yore, Criminal #3 will captivate from first page to last. If you're not salivating at the prospect of the next issue after reading this beauty, there's no pleasing you. Read Full Review

Word Of The Nerd - Jordan Claes
Mar 20, 2019I was hesitant about doing this review. Having never read any of Criminal's seminal installment, I knew that there were going to be things I didn't understand, characters I wouldn't recognize or even know. Ed Brubaker does a great job of making this transition an easy one for new readers; it quickly extinguishes any feelings of intimidation. This was a "slow-burn" of a read, but one that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Read Full Review

The finale of the two-part arc "Bad Weekend", Criminal #3 is another terrific installment from what has become one of the most consistent titles on the shelves. Brubaker and Phillips deliver solid performances with every issue and have built a world full of characters that readers can care for, feel sorry for, and empathize with. Set ten years before (it's not a sequel) the "Bad Night" storyline, Jacob Kurtz is a younger, but still struggling cartoonist hustling for work. He is contacted by the operators of a comic book convention and told that his old mentor Hal Crane, a legendary comic book artist and pain in the ass, has asked for him specifically be his minder for the weekend. Jacob reluctantly agrees and almost immediately regret more
