Book Reviews of Criminal Vol. 4: Bad Night
Book Review: Masterful crime noir from Brubaker and Phillips meets high expectations (again)
Summary: 5 Stars
This fourth trade paperback collects four issues (Vol. 2 #4-7) of writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips' consistently outstanding Criminal series. This story arc is self-contained but features some minor links to past issues and takes place in the same city. The main character is Jacob K., the ex-counterfeiter that helped Tracy Lawless in Volume 2. Jacob is revealed as the creator of "Frank Kafka, P.I.", a comic strip that appeared in previous issues and plays a significant role in this story. The woman on the cover is Iris, whose chance encounter with Jacob at a diner has powerful repercussions for both. The story retains the series' gritty realism and features an increased aura of psychological drama. Having pre-ordered this, I devoured it the day that it arrived at my house.
Brubaker and Phillips took a break from this series for the six-issue mini-series "Incognito" but promised that "Criminal" will return. (I bought all six individual issues of "Incognito" and loved it - the TPB is scheduled for a December release). The first three "Criminal" TPBs have been collected into a deluxe hardcover edition.
Summary of Criminal Vol. 4: Bad Night
A woman in trouble, friends on the run from cops and mobsters, and a secret no one is prepared to face! Five years ago, Jake was a happy family man, long-retired from the life of crime he grew up in, and then the police made him the prime suspect in a horrible crime and ripped his life apart! Now, years later, Jake is less than a shadow of his former self, a hopeless insomniac who walks the city streets at night. But one night, he walks into the wrong place at the right time, and his whole life changes again... Collects Criminal 2 #4-8.Mystery Books
