From writer Creator/EdBrubaker and artist Sean Phillips (who also did ''Comicbook/SleeperWildStorm'' and ''ComicBook/{{Incognito}}''), ''Criminal'' is a deconstruction of the crime genre, through the lens of thieves and [[ConMan con-men]]. Each trade paperback is a separate story arc, which can be read on its own, but each is a part of the same universe and take place in the same city. The same background characters show up, with characters going to the same bar.
