Criminal is surprisingly enough a crime comic. It tells the story of several different criminals who live in a generic American city. It's clearly influenced by Frank Miller and Sin City but it's a bit more human. Sin City is a wee bit too superhero at times but Criminal is more like The Wire.
The stories in this beautiful collected edition are pulpy and violent with no real heroes. Nobody (good) ever wins and anyone could die. The art is suitably murky and the dialogue reads well.
A good comic if you don't like comics.
Also a good comic if you like comics....
