Crime Month: Criminal

Some things are not meant to be read while the sun is still out. Criminal is one. Whenever I'm lucky enough to score a new issue of this ongoing comics series by writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips, I save it to savor in the small cone of a lamp's light surrounded by the dark.
