It's a nice feeling to slide into a new Criminal series. Going in, you know that Brubaker's going to provide an excellent introduction to either new or familiar characters, and that you're going to be hooked pretty quickly into the story. You know that Phillip's work is going to match the story's noir elements perfectly, and complement the script in every possible way. It's a very safe purchase if you're looking for a good, meaty comic to read.
This issue doesn't disappoint on any level. We are returning, in this arc, to Tracy Lawless, who is now working as a hit man for Mr. Hyde. The only thing is, he'll only kill people he decides deserve it. This gets him in a bit of trouble with the boss, but he's given the chance to fix things by way of figuring who is killing other 'made men'.
It's a strong premise, and already there are premonitions of betrayals and complications for Tracy. In other words, it's another arc of Criminal, and I'm really glad to see it back on the stand.
