Even amongst the weeds, a rose may flower. And so it is with the love that grows in Teeg Lawless for Jane. But even a rose may harbor a bee, and the sting in the tale in Criminal #6 is that Teeg is better to have lost, and never loved. There's a storm coming to a summer that will soon enough be crueler than any experienced before. Read Full Review

"Criminal" #6 is another solid entry into the current storyline, with a moment of reprieve for Teeg as his death draws ever closer. Read Full Review

It serves to place this story more firmly within the shared mythos and timeline of the series' fractured narrative, and sets up additional tension for the three central characters involved thus far. However, it lacks the drive that made Criminal #5 such a compelling hook for what is intended to be the series' longest story to date. Read Full Review

Come for the artwork and overall mood, but skim through the story. Yes, the characters are fun, yet the story surrounding them lacks a punch. Read Full Review

Sean Phillips perfectly matches the tone and style of this story with the beautiful art work. Everything looks amazing and there are some inspired shots throughout the art. Read Full Review

Overall this was another near-flawless issue of Criminal. Brubaker writes crime noir like no one else, and Phillips’ art, while perhaps not for everyone, definitely fits the tone of the book. I love how this tied into last issue, and look forward to how this piece of the Criminal puzzle fits into future books.

Another solid issue. Brubaker's dialogue is great to read.
