Weekly Comic Book Pulls for 11-07-07

Weekly Comic Book PullsCriminal #10
If you're looking for a book to get your non-comic reading friends interested in comics, give them this book. Smart, gritty, exciting, dark, suspenseful. It's any interesting crime movie you've ever seen done in comic form. Brubaker is doing things in this book that you've seen a million times before, but he does it with such skill you never even notice. You know exactly what is going to happen, but it's fun to watch the pieces fall into place. It's also good because it feels like a full meal of a book, and I never feel like I was paying too much for too little of a book. Sean Phillip's art sets the perfect mood and he is a modern master at creating expressive characters. The back matter of the book has covered so many different topics and I'm never sure what to expect. This issue ends the “Lawless” arc in a bit of a surprising way, and I can’t wait to see the next few issues. February is too long to wait.
