A new story arc begins in Criminal #5, Cruel Summer (aka the death of Teeg Lawless), and it’s a great beginning to what looks to be another scorcher from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips!
It’s June 1988 and private investigator Dan Farraday is hired by a wealthy businessman to track down his mistress Jane/Marina who’s stolen from him - a case that’ll send Farraday slap bang into the path of Teeg Lawless.
There’s a bit too much table-setting going on for my taste - I feel like the real story has barely begun - but Criminal #5 is still a fine comic. Farraday is an intriguing new character - a troubled dude with a dark past in Vietnam and a complex moral code - whose intricate tracking skills were interesting to see.
Once again, one of the finest creative teams in the biz have produced another cracking crime comic - it’s gonna be a fun summer!
