Navigating through a world of smoky barrooms and double-crosses to present tales of heists, murders and cons, CRIMINAL is determined to be different than any other book on the shelves today.
Brubaker promises every kind of crime story under the sun. "One of my intentions with this series was to create a book that could handle any and every story I wanted to tell. The cast of the book is a loose-knit gang of crooks - a pickpocket, a hit-man, and a crooked cop, for starters - who each take center stage at different times. This way I can do a heist story, follow that with a revenge drama, and then a prison breakout, all while using the same characters. And as each story unfolds, the mysterious past that connects these characters is revealed, so readers can watch the puzzle of their twisted history being put together."

"Writer Ed Brubaker understands how to tell a great genre story as well as any storyteller out there, and in the pages of Criminal, it's a hell of a lot of fun watching him spin a familiar heist-gone-wrong story into a riveting character study of seriously flawed yet very human individuals." -- IGN.com
