Criminal #11

A near perfect depiction of a robbery gone right, Criminal #11 feels cinematic not only in its scope, but in the interplay between its characters. All the dominoes have been set up, and it takes only one person to send them toppling over. The strongest issue in the series' arc thus far, Criminal #11 feels like an ending and a beginning, all wrapped up in hard hitting writing and fantastic art. Read Full Review

Another volume of Criminal ends but this time one of the greatest mysteries in the entire series has been answered. Teegs death was a tragedy of his own making and it was thrilling to read from beginning to end. Cruel Summer was structured perfectly from clever bits of foreshadowing to its multiple points of view and phenomenal character work. I cant wait to sit down and read it again. Read Full Review

Sean Phillips' film noir style continues to be the perfect complement for this story. There is a gritty realism to the characters and Phillips keeps out focus on them in the art. Read Full Review

As an almost stand-alone issue, this is an excellently executed piece. But on whole, it's a tad hard to judge, since #11 ends on a cliffhanger that we expected but dreaded. One thing's for sure"I have to read #12. Read Full Review

The final issue of this story will have the final say, but nothing can negate the visceral enjoyment of a well executed heist comic like this one. Read Full Review
