It was a nice thing to round out my reading after reading (& doing quick twitter reviews, shameless plug lol) of the new DC #1 issues out this week.

Its a great little crime story so far, I hadn’t read any Criminal before this but it was really well done.. This is the way you do a nod to another comic without wallowing in nostalgia or feeling like a rip off. I’m really anxious to see where this all goes. It isn’t going to be pretty!

If so it should be collected quickly.

I picked up #1-3 based on this review today, for cheap. Look forward to reading it tonight to see how it is.

I’d like to read it as a collection as well, but I don’t know what typical times are for Marvel’s Icon line.
