(Icon, Marvel 2007)
Two of my favorites in one place. I'm a new fan of Duane Swierczynski and today I see an entry on CRIMINAL, one of my favorite comic books.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Ah, thanks David. Isn't CRIMINAL fantastic?
ReplyDeleteThe trade paperback for Lawless will be out in December. In case you're wondering...

It almost seems wrong (I avoided the obvious pun) that one word can can convey what folks think about this book. But it is indeed, fantastic.
I'm almost done with The Wheelman and I'm a little worried...
But I plan on picking up The Blonde this weekend.
