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.

I was waiting for the tpb. I'm definitely gonna be all over that tpb.
The monster saved them all. And in their fear, they betrayed him. As they always have. As they always will.

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.
If you look after the fans, they will look after you.

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?"You can't trust them as poets either. The true poet is anonymous, as to his habits, but these boys have to look, act, and apparently smell like poets"

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.Corrina Lawson: Writer, Mom, Geek & Superhero.

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.
