Criminal, Vol. 3: The Dead and the Dying
by Ed Brubaker
Like the first volume something just felt off about this. I'll get to that in a minute.
This volume is basically 3 parts where you get the point of views of different characters. One being a boxer, another a whore, and the side of the mafia you probably don't want to see. It's a study of how people's lives effect another. It's also a view into many characters and how they grow over time, better or worse, and also how they fit into their parents shoes.
Good: The artwork is still rock solid. I mean, do you expect anything less at this point? Also enjoyed the ending and probably where I felt most connected. Listening to the story of a woman with hopes and dreams get ripped apart and turned into a shell of a former self is heartbreaking but so well done.
Bad: I didn't care for the two main leads. Especially because I can't even recall their names. The story was well told enough but when you can't connect you start not to worry about who they are or what happens. I was let down in that aspect.
Another well told, crime drama tale, of revenge and loss. Ed sure knows how to write them. If I only liked the characters more this would have been a homerun!
