Great - I’m in! Except Brubaker never addresses this storyline again. For the indisgression, Teeg has to find $25k sharpish or Ricky’s dead. And I think that might be part of the problem of why I didn’t love this one more because, with all that extra space, Brubaker gets a bit loose with his storytelling when I’d have preferred a more tightly focused narrative, which he’s absolutely capable of and has delivered many times before in the past.įor example, the opening chapter establishes a dilemma: Ricky’s stolen a diamond necklace off a senile old wrestler (and I liked how it circled back around to wrestling with the final heist taking place during a wrestling event) to get Teeg out on bail - but the old guy was connected. This is the longest Criminal book Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have done to date at nine issues long. Will things go right or wrong for Teeg and Jane? Find out in… Cruel Summer! But standing in the way of their tropical paradise retirement fantasy (besides actually pulling off the heist) is Teeg’s youngest son Ricky who’s feeling upset at losing his dad’s attention, and Dan Farraday, a PI on Jane’s trail, hired by Jane’s latest ex, whom she robbed. The unthinkable has happened: career scumbag Teeg Lawless has fallen in love for the first time in his rotten life! Together with his new girlfriend Jane, Teeg plans a big payday: ripping off a WWE-type event.
