Poprvé a hned v reprezentativním vázaném vydání k nám přichází jedna z neoceňovanějších kriminálních sérií poslední dekády: Criminal Eda Brubakera a Seana Phillipse. Vítěz čtyř ocenění pro nejlepšího scenáristu, jakož i Eisnerovy ceny pro nejlepší novou sérii za rok 2007. Tato luxusní edice komiksu Criminal obsahuje první tři příběhy, Zbabělec, Lawless a Mrtví a umírající, spolu s mnoha bonusy, včetně esejí, ilustrací a článků popisujících okolnosti vzniku. „S podporou Phillipsovy noirem nasáklé kresby Brubaker dokazuje, že je skutečným veršotepcem tohoto sice na první pohled obnošeného, ale v podstatě neomezeného a atmosférického žánru.“ Entertainment Weekly „Criminal je obdivuhodné dílo.“ Howard Chaykin (American Flagg, Black Kiss, The Shadow) „Nejlepší kriminální komiks všech dob...“ Comic Book Resources „... Naprosto přesný a nádherně nesmiřitelný.“ Frank Miller (Sin City, 300, Návrat temného rytíře) Každý zločinec má svůj příběh. Leo Patterson je obezřetný profesionál s širokým odborným rejstříkem: kapesní krádeže, bankovní loupeže, přepadávání obrněných vozů. Jenže je možná dokonce až příliš obezřetný. Říkají o něm, že nikdy nevezme do ruky pistoli. Říkají o něm, že je zbabělec. Ale teprve v případě ukázkově zpackaného loupežného přepadení, do něhož se zaplete spolu se zkorumpovanými policisty, se ukáže, že Leo nemá strach z vězení nebo ze smrti – ale z něčeho temnějšího, brutálnějšího... a daleko, daleko horšího. Tracy Lawless si odsloužil v armádě svoje a teď se vrací domů. Ale do rodného města ho netáhnou nostalgické vzpomínky, ale pomsta. Někdo zabil jeho bratra. Někdo z vlastního gangu. A Tracy Lawless – tvrdý, brutální chlap s obličejem zohyzděným popáleninami – se vrací, aby se do bratrova bývalého gangu infiltroval a vraha vypátral. A zabil. Jenže nic není takové, jak se zdá. A nejsou to jen Leo a Tracy. I ostatní, kteří jsou zpočátku pouze vedlejšími postavami v jejich příbězích, mají svou historii, své osudy. Barman v putyce, kam Leo a Tracy chodí, dívka, kterou kdysi miloval, Tracyho násilnický otec... každý, opravdu každý má svůj příběh. Ed Brubaker a Sean Phillips vykreslují své drsné noirové kapitoly s neokázalou atmosférickou strohostí. Příběhy zločinců, kteří jsou lapeni ve svých předurčeních jako mouchy v sudu plesnivého medu, příběhy nekonečné osamělosti na špatné straně zákona, temných vášní, podrazů, krve a násilí – a voleb, které jsou jedna horší než druhá.
