I think Brubaker writes great stuff too, but I did not enjoy
Coward after about the first 3rd. I found many of the
characters too stock and one dimensional, and the situations
too cliched . I also had problems with the art. Both Brubaker
and the artist are capable of much, much, much better and I
am hoping that they improve their work on the Criminal series
for the next arc (if they stay on the series).
