The premise revolves around the protagonist, Leo Patterson.
Knowing all this if you want to continue into this world, it is quite a ride.
Each of the volumes is a different story arc all taking place in the same world. The protagonist of volume 1, and from what I understand continuing volumes throughout the series are anti-heroes. To sear some of the images on the frontal lobe. The story is designed to haunt the reader. What there is though, is dark searing dialog, blood, violence, and language. There are no superheroes, magic, aliens, or mystical forces. This graphic novel is straight-up crime noir. There are some things you need to know before starting this series: Now Leo must come face-to-face with the violence he’s kept bottled up inside for 20 years, and nothing will ever be the same for him again. But when he’s lured into a risky heist, all his rules go out the window, and he ends up on the run from the cops and the bad men who double-crossed him. But there’s a catch with Leo, he won’t work any job that he doesn’t call all the shots on, he won’t allow guns, and the minute things turn south, he’s looking for any exit that won’t land him in prison. Coward is the story of Leo, a professional pickpocket who is also a legendary heist-planner and thief. 2: Lawless Aboutįrom Harvey Award-Winning Best Writer Ed Brubaker, and Scream Award-Winning Best Artist Sean Phillips comes the first collection of Criminal, one of the best reviewed comics of 2006.
