From
the back cover
“Twenty
years ago, Tracy Lawless escaped the crime-ridden streets of the city for a
life in the military, and never look back. But not his past is dragging him
home from the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan, to find out who left his brother
lying dead in an alley. As he digs through the wreckage of his family history,
infiltrating the underworld life his brother Rick lived, the one thing Tracy
has going for him is that no one knows who the hell he is anymore, and what
they don’t know just might kill them. . “
Review
Lawless
spiral-expands
the world introduced in the first Criminal graphic novel, Coward.
Like Coward, Lawless is a pulpy, terse, character-interesting and
sometimes violent work that uses the Undertown bar, a.k.a. the Undertow, as its
central location. Not only that, this second volume has mentions of or cameos by
characters seen in the first graphic novel. This is a great expansion of Criminal,
one worth reading. Followed by Criminal: The Dying and the Dead.
