Comedian Tracy Morgan is a firm believer that “The Power is in The Pussy” and the main character of the last stand alone issue of the second volume, who we’ve seen before, apparently agrees. We already know her fate, but that in no way takes away from this story which works even if you haven’t read issue #1. The story moves along pretty fast yet the reader still has time to connect to the character in a significant way due in part to excellent writing of brutally honest internal dialogue which you don’t get in books from other imprints. Actually, the fact that things move so fast helps since it matches how quickly downhill things went for the character. Aside from one corny line of dialogue , “Just let me put the head in…”, Brubaker’s writing was spot on as usual. Criminal is probably my favorite book to read each month, and I can’t wait for the start of the next multiple part arc.
