EW's GRADE
B+Details Release Date: May 16, 2007; Writers: Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips; Genres: Action/Adventure, Comic Books/Graphic Novels; Publisher: Marvel
Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Criminal: Coward follows a loner pickpocket, who's not living up to his felonious potential, and is drafted by a veteran crook and a shifty cop to orchestrate an ill-fated heist.
For Fans of...
Michael Mann's Heat.
Does It Deliver?
With an assist from Phillips' noir-kissed art, Brubaker (better known as
the man who revived, then killed, Captain America) proves a wordsmith of
rare restraint, fine-tuning a well-worn genre.
