Item Biography
*A woman in trouble, friends on the run from cops and mobsters, and a secret no one is prepared to face!
All this and more await readers in the beginning of a hard-hitting new noir tale "Bad Night" Part 1 of 4, as Criminal's new expanded format keeps the hits coming!
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: For the better or the worse, is the question.
And on top of this longer-than-usual length main story, CRIMINAL now features an expanded back-pages section, as well with articles by Brubaker and other top crime writers, from novelists to screenwriters to comic writers. These noir articles have become a popular piece of the Criminal package, and are something that can only be found in the comics, not in any collections.
So don't miss out on the start of a new story arc in the most acclaimed crime comic on the stands! *Source: marvel.com
