Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the the multiple-award winning and most reliable duo in comics, are back with Five Gears in Reverse, a new Criminal graphic novel published by Image Comics hitting shelves exclusively in comic shops this week and available everywhere else books are sold next month.
Here’s how the publisher describes the graphic novel:
In one of the wildest, most action-packed books that Brubaker and Phillips have ever done, we delve deep into the life of one of Criminal‘s most complex and tragic characters, Ricky Lawless as he tries to pay off a deep debt to a mobster, while things just keep going from bad to worse. This is the crazy tale of how he and Mallory fell in love in the midst of a crime spree.
Brubaker and Phillips have another graphic novel project, Unfinished Tales, about a fantasy author who makes a dark pact to finish his last book, set for release later this year.
