    Default Ok, ok, fess up...

    Why the $&@# aren't you people buying Criminal?

    Seriously, its sales are slipping and it's a damn fine crime comic book by Brubaker and Phillips, who brought us the excellent Sleeper, that deserves to sell a hell of a lot better than crap like Black Panther.

    Get the first trade, no excuses, and add this title to your pull list NOW!

    People should be reading this. I just hope with all the media attention Brubaker has had recently because of Cap, there is a bit of a knock-on effect to his other work, Criminal and no doubt Sleeper trades will get a good spike in sales.

    I told my friend who got me into Sleeper to buy Criminal. He's a bit out of the comics loop.

    Read #1, wasn't really pulled in. I decided that rather than buy #2, I'd wait for the trade and if I like it jump on with the next story.

    Im guilty man, Ever since brubaker left batman, catwoman, GCPD and his other works i have been displeased with all that he is doing,

    I admit captain america is good, but now cap is gone, should i still buy?

    I read it! :)

    But I'm going to wait on the trade for the new run. Sorry, but I just like getting the full story at once.

    I'm also planning on getting the trade. I loved Brubaker on Sleeper, Gotham Central, and Catwoman.

    Honestly, stealth? It's because I don't read non-superhero comics. It's not that I don't think that non-superhero books are bad, they're just not my cup of tea. ^_~

    I AM reading it! I love it. It reminds me of Bru's Scene of the Crime for Vertigo, way back when.

    I praise it any time I get a chance. Hmmmm. Well, now that I have a mySpace account... I'm planning on doing reviews of comic books on the blog for that. I guess I could start doing that. (Still getting myself set up on mySpace.... )

    Crime drama and crime fiction is just generally not my thing.

    Actually, I confess to not reading his Captain America. Though I've finally admitted to checking it out in trade and new issues. I guess that whole issue 25 thing finally convinced me.

    Because i am a bad bad boy,Stealth. :(

    The main reason? The art. Just not liking the artwork.

    Might pick up a trade of it at SDCC,but i am looking to decrease comics,not add more. Sigh.
