"With an assist from Phillips' noir-kissed art, Brubaker proves a wordsmith of rare restraint, fine-tuning a well-worn genre" - Entertainment Weekly * "A consummately conceived crime tale, written in the hard-boiled style of novelist Jim Thompson and illustrated in the shadowy manner of Hollywood film noir." - Scotland on Sunday on Criminal: Coward "A sharp, smart comic that rises above the genre's cliches to create something fresh and exciting... one of the best new series of 2006." - Penn Patriot-News"
