Criminal (Volume 1): Coward

"Criminal" is a series of knife-sharp, noir-tinged tales about the people who live on the wrong side of the law. In "Coward", the first storyline, pickpocket Leo - a man who always leaves himself a way out - finds himself in over his head when he's dragged into a dangerous heist, and winds up getting too close to a burnt-out former junkie. Torn between his instinct to run and his emotions, can he stay out of harm's way? By award-winning writer Ed Brubaker ("Gotham Central") and acclaimed artist Sean Phillips ("Marvel Zombies"), this gritty take on society's underbelly has been critically acclaimed and a commercial smash - it'd be criminal to miss it!
