Criminal (comics)
Criminal is an ongoing creator-owned crime comic book by writer Ed Brubaker with artist Sean Phillips published by Marvel Comics' Icon label.[1] The series is a meditation on the clichés of the crime genre while remaining realistic and believable.[2] In some ways it's an attempt to recapture much of the mood and style of Sleeper while removing the usual superhero trappings found in most mainstream comics.[3]
