CRIMINAL #7 is out today​!​

[Ed Brubaker]

This is the big final​e for Bad Night​,​ which is by far the most twist​ed Crimi​nal arc yet.

As always, ask for it by name,​ if you don'​t see it on your retai​ler'​s shelf​,​ please.​

And let me know here what you guys thought. Incognito goes to press next week.

[THWIP!]

Got it. Can't wait to read it.

Going to miss it while you guys do Incognito but I'm really looking forward to that as well.

[ClintP]

I really liked this arc over the last one. But I tend to like stories where people get screwed and do something about it. I am glad you got me to stay on for it.

[Adrian B AWESOME]

Woo! Awesome!

I have no fucking idea how this arc will end. I'm just assuming a couple of bodies, however...

[nihilance]

Already bought...and Ingognito went on my hold list today...

btw - did you see this thread yesterday Bru?

Hey Brubaker! Criminals love Criminal! (http://www.606studios.com/bendisboard/showthread.php?t=166622)

[jason hissong]

Bought it, but will have to wait until I get home to read.

That thread cracked me up.

[bachman]

Awesome!

Also, Ed, is your avatar you as a "Maniac Mansion" character?

[Dark Sasha]

Read it yesterday and it was sweet and fucked up!

[Kedd]

I'll probably be picking it up tomorrow. Sadly, it will be among my last batch of comics for a while :(

[Buk Was Right]

Fuck yes!

I'm sitting at my desk staring at parts 1-3 right now.

I might be looking forward to this more than SI #8.

Poor Jacob... I just don't see this ending well for him.

[Ed Brubaker]

My avatar is me as a Diesel Sweeties character.

[Stupendous Man]

I picked it up this afternoon. Looking forward to reading it!

[Ed Brubaker]

Seeing some new Incognito pages from Sean. You guys are gonna love this book.

I can't wait. when is the first issue coming out?

I read Criminal #7 last night. great finish to that story arc.

[jason hissong]

Awesome finish Ed and Sean. Just great great work. My favorite comic every month.

[Buk Was Right]

Absolutely great finish to the Criminal arc Bru.

I don't even know what to say. I probably should have seen it all coming, but I absolutely didn't.

Well done.

[Ultimate Lurker]

Great stuff. I felt emotionally tied to Jacob and sympathized with his descent into madness. Rollercoaster ride. I loved it.

[Auguste Miller]

Still no HC ? ;)

I might have to go get the Delcourt one in French then...

[Ultimate Dead Cap]

Great ending. Can't wait for more Criminal, but I guess that badass looking comic called Incognito might hold me over...

[Ed Brubaker]

Yes, you will be tided over.

[Ed Brubaker]

Did no one else get it this week?

[shoelaceless]

I'm 100 miles away from my pull box right now, but I'll pick it up later this week.

[bradical]

it's sitting at my shop, preordered and awaiting my arrival in the next week or two. sad to see it go away for a bit, but i'm looking forward to incognito. also preordered.

[Ultimate Lurker]

Did no one else get it this week?

Nope, just the dozen or so of us here on BenBo, sorry. :cry: Hope Incognito does better. I can't wait!

[Donal DeLay]

don't believe you. You're going to have to show us.

[Ultimate Dead Cap]

Everyone who buys criminal bought it im sure and im sure some new people too. Its just Secret Invasion and Batman RIP has got everyone's fingers busy. Some characters are dead. Some are alive again. Gotta celebrate and gripe I guess. Oh, yeah. I love Captain America. Best run ever.

[Brad N.]

Did no one else get it this week?

I just finished reading it now, Ed. Lately I've had to wait until Friday or Saturday to pick my books up from my LCS. Luckily Criminal (AND Ingognito now) is on my pulls list there and they never miss an issue.

What a fantastic and fucked up arc, Ed. You guys keep knocking this book out of the park and as much as the ending felt like a punch to the gut it was something I should have seen coming. The fact that I didn't is further proof of your skill in this arena. Keep up the fantastic work, man!

P.S. I have a feeling my friend ClintP got hit a little harder when he finished this than I did. :)

[Dark Sasha]

Turns out my guy got confused with the volume 2 relaunch of it. That's why I wasn't getting it.

[Brandon191]

I still haven't read issue #6 yet.

[Ed Brubaker]

Really? It wasn't a confusing relaunch. Weird.

[Ultimate Dead Cap]

Really? It wasn't a confusing relaunch. Weird.

I guess you're going to have to make it even more obvious that each volume is connected to the last. Criminal Volume 3 Which Is the Follow Up to Volume 2 That Should Be Purchased by Retailers for Their Clients if They Ordered Volume 1 and or 2. Doesn't leave much room for cover art, but hey.

[evophile]

Read it this weekend. This was definitely the best arc yet. Although I seem to say that every time.

Bring on Incognito!

[schizorabbit]

Who bets that TheTravis didn't get a copy?

[nihilance]

Really? It wasn't a confusing relaunch. Weird.

I think the relaunch was a bad idea. I think it might have been better to follow the Hellboy/BPRD model...treat each arc as a mini with a new #1 but on the inside cover have the actual issue number (like the latest Hellboy had 36 or something on the inside cover).

Loving the book...and can't wait for Incognito.

[Dark Sasha]

Really? It wasn't a confusing relaunch. Weird.

Which is weird because I got the first three issues of volume 2 without any trouble.

[Ed Brubaker]

We also changed the format for the relaunch, so there was something besides just a new #1. We went up to 40 pages and expanded everything, too.

We may go the Hellboy model at some point, though. Numbers don't matter to me that much, except I'm so fucking sick of seeing people call Criminal "Criminal 2" because Diamond listed it that way. I never called it that. It's not the sequel.

I say this with the utmost sincerity: I think Criminal is the only book I buy every month (I buy maybe five a month) that always delivers.

I have yet to read a bad issue, or arc, of Criminal.

Same here...I only have 5 books on my pull list and Criminal is one of them. Actually I have 6 now since I just added Incognito.

[HoldFastNow]

I just picked up number seven and read the whole arc in one sitting (I buy Criminal every time it comes out, read the back material for more movies to check out, but save off reading the issue until I have a whole arc). I've gotta say, this was my favorite arc yet. I loved it whenever Frank Kafka showed up in a panel, and the revelation of why Jacob was being set up.

[The Law]

This was my favourite issue. Fan-fucking-tastic. Even expecting the unexpected, no one expected this Spanish inquisition

[Jonny Z]

I loved this arc- fnished it today- my second favorite behind Lawless. the art was killer as well.
