CRIMINAL #6

By Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips

WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN A BAD NIGHT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE?

“Bad Night” Part 3 of 4 smashes your head into a brick wall, as CRIMINAL’s new expanded format keeps the hits coming!
Jacob K. has a special talent, and a dark secret. The beautiful girl who’s got him on the run for his life only knows about one of them, and that may be her big mistake. See what these bad nights will bring Jacob, and if he’ll get out alive.
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 can only be found in the CRIMINAL comics, not in any collections.
