Criminal #1
"Prologue" kicks off Criminal #1 with a tense, grounded introduction to Leo, a meticulous criminal who only commits heists he’s certain are risk-free. Written by Ed Brubaker and Alex Nikolavitch, with art by Sean Phillips and colors by Val Staples, the story unfolds through Phillips’ sharp, noir-tinged visuals—his cover pencils and inks lending the issue a gritty, cinematic pull. When an old friend and a corrupt cop pitch a high-stakes robbery of contraband in a police evidence van, Leo faces a rare dilemma: trust a fink in a world where loyalty is the most dangerous gamble of all.
In "Prologue" from *Criminal* #1, Leo—a meticulous planner who only commits to a heist if he’s certain it’s risk-free—faces a rare test of trust when an old friend and a corrupt cop pitch a high-stakes robbery targeting millions in contraband from a evidence transport van. With his reputation on the line and the one thing he can’t control being the honesty of a cop on the run, Leo must decide whether the payoff is worth the gamble.
In "Le rêve de Greta," Léo and Greta are on the run after a botched heist, clinging to the half of the stolen money that’s still in their hands. As Léo tends to Greta’s wounds, they navigate a tense, fragile alliance with the people they once trusted—knowing that one misstep could cost them everything.
