Except the last arc of Criminal has a lot of the same problems in terms of following a course readers of genre fiction are all too familiar with.

Criminal is probably more cliched than Incognito, but because it's in a genre that isn't dominant in comics, it gets a pass.

Still very good though.

Tracy was easily my least favorite protagonist, and his first arc, Lawless, remains my least favorite Criminal arc.

Yeah, Tracy is nowhere near as interesting as Leo or Jacob, or even Gnarly and Teeg in their single issues.

I really hope the next arc is a Coward sequel.

I've narrowed it down to three. Two that were on Punchy's list and one from Marvel that I'm seriously considering since it's my favorite Marvel title at the moment.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Good-bye.."

Yeah, I agree.

Personally, I would like to see Gnarly as the main in current times or have a brand new character.

Okay, it's always easier to go with number ones and Superboy was one I was seriously considering, but I'm going out on a limb with my choice this time around. Hawkeye and Mockingbird #6

The last issue of a cancelled series?

An... unconventional choice.

This was a pretty decent comic but it did feel a lot like sleeper and that may just be because of the topic and creative team. There is no way to separate Brubaker and Philips from what is their best work together especially when delving into the world of the super criminal underworld and conspiracy theory. I still don't remember exactly how the previous volume ended but, so what. This one begins with a bit of a kick and then it's all a bunch of nothing, Philips art looks great, so much better than shitty marvel zombies and on par with sleeper. The story is still just ok and I don't have the strongest desire to check out the next issue but might...really the hardest part is not remembering what happened in the previous volume which isn't a major complaint but it tells you how much I cared about it. Either way this was book was still pretty good but also a bit of meh.

7.5
