"With this Eisner Award-winning volume, expanding stories first serialized in the "Criminal" series, the incomparable team of Brubaker and Phillips once again prove themselves among the best creators of crime fiction in any genre." -Library Journal (starred review) Celebrating the Prime Video series adaptation, the ninth story in Brubaker and Phillips' groundbreaking crime series returns to print with a stunning new cover painting and design. The ultimate comic con crime tale is here, as Jacob (last seen in Criminal Volume�4: Bad Night) dives into the underbelly of the world of comics to escort his old mentor to a convention. Comics won't just break your heart. Comics will kill you. And Hal Crane should know, he's been around since practically the beginning. Stuck at a convention, waiting to receive a lifetime achievement award, Hal's weekend takes us on a dark ride through the secret history of a medium that's always been haunted by crooks, swindlers, and desperate dreamers.
