Criminal, Vol. 6: The Last of the Innocent by Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips

5.0

Another favorite of mine. Imagine if the Riverdale kids, you know...Archie and the gang, were all real. Like very real, with adultry, murder, drugs and crime. I know how that might seem. Just trust me. Trust Brubaker & Phillips. Riley Richards is living the dream life, a good job, a hot wife but...he's miserable. He has a secret. That's a recipe for murder. So he decides to kill his wife, all along the way killing much of his past as well. He has it all planned out. Is he smart enough to get away with it? This is wonderful also as Sean Phillips exceeds himself by drawing the flashbacks in simplier, cartoony style, reminescent of the Archie comics. And it's all balance by the dark nasty **** going on in the present. Fantastic!!!
