Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. i dropped the series after this. im sure this appeals to a lot of people and its like "pulp excellence" or something but it just kind of feels too obvious, too boring, too whatever. disappointed Tracy Lawless finds out his little brother Ricky was killed, and breaks out of military prison seeking vengeance. Tracy feels badly because he was not much of a role model for his brother, driving around his criminal father while his mother was dying, attended by young Ricky. Tracy manages to break in with his brother's gang and girlfriend, while learning the truth about what happened and why. Lawless tells the story of Tracy Lawless, a former criminal turned United States soldier. Upon hearing of his little brother's death, Ricky joins up with his brother's old gang in an effort to bring some justice to his killer.

I certainly liked this enough as in my opinion, it's on par with Volume 1. As always, the artwork is stellar and Brubaker's writing is excellent. Lots of misdirection here complete with a conclusion that makes sense and left me satisfied. There's a great foreword written by Frank Miller here which sets up the story nicely. Getting recognized by one of the people responsible for the resurgence of the medium is certainly top-notch praise. It's certainly well deserved. Brubaker has opened me up to a whole new genre of graphic novels I hadn't realized existed. Second in the Criminal series of hardboiled graphic novels, and quite good. This is the one that sets the formalist structure for the series, by emphasizing how all the stories take place in a shared city: a dank, always-rainy, claustrophobia-inducing spin on the comics tradition of the shared universe. A loose tie to the first book provides the DNA for the central character, an AWOL soldier. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Twenty years ago, Tracy Lawless traded the crime-ridden streets of the city for a life in the military, and it's a decision he's rarely regretted. But now he's walking out of the deserts of Afghanistan and Iraq and back into the world he grew up in, to find out who killed his brother Rick, and why. But truth is one of the few things uglier than family history, and the only thing Tracy has in his favor as he unravels the twisted strands of the criminal life his brother led, is that no one knows who the hell he is. And what they don't know, just might kill them! Collects Criminal #6-10 Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
