Ed Brubaker is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I love his work on Captain America and I absolutely love his gritty crime tales.
In this book, a criminal with a perchance to run away when heists go bad is recruited to scout out a deal involving stolen diamonds in the local police department’s evidence locker. Added to the mix is a corrupt cop who’s in for the take and the “Coward” couldn’t feel more uneasy with the deal.
As I said before- It’s gritty. It’s harsh. It’s freakin’ awesome. There is some violence, sex, and nudity- so parents don’t let your 10-year olds be running this. But if you’re 18+ and you love Tarantino or Scorsese, this is the book for you.
Can’t wait for volumes 2 and 3!
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
