| Criminal (2006) (Comic Book) | comment |
From writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips, Criminal is a deconstruction of the crime genre, through the lens of thieves and con-men. Each trade paperback is a separate story arc, which can be read on its own, but each is a part of the same universe and take place in the same city. The same background characters show up, with characters going to the same bar.Volumes so far: Coward: Five years after Leo Patterson survived the disastrous "Salt Bay Job," another criminal named Seymour and Jeff, a crooked cop, try to recruit him for a plan to heist diamonds from a police evidence truck. A notable deconstruction of A Simple Plan, when not only don't things turn out the way Leo thought, but they get worse. Lawless: Tracy Lawless, the older brother of Leo's friend Ricky Lawless, gets out of military prison and goes AWOL to find out how his brother died. A deconstruction of Roaring Rampage of Revenge. The Dead and the Dying: Three stand-alone, interlocking stories set in 1972, setting up the backstory of the generation of crooks before Leo, Tracy and Ricky. Bad Night: The writer of the comic strip Frank Kafka, P.I. gets drawn into a complicated scheme, involving impersonating FBI agents. The Sinners: Continuing from the end of Lawless, Tracy Lawless investigates the string of seemingly perfect murders of the underworld's top men, while someone from his military life comes looking. The Last of the Innocent: A Deconstruction of Archie Comics that follows former all-American teenager Riley Richards as he returns to his old hometown Brookview upon a family emergency and finds his memories of his carefree youth impacting on life with murderous consequences. Wrong Time, Wrong Place: Teeg Lawless is trapped behind bars with a price on his head, doing anything he can to survive, while Tracy Lawless celebrates his twelfth birthday riding shotgun on a mission of death. My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies: Teenage Ellie has always had romantic ideas about drug addicts, those tragic artistic souls drawn to needles and pills have been an obsession since the death of her junkie mother ten years ago. But when Ellie lands in an upscale rehab clinic where nothing is what it appears to be... she'll find another more dangerous romance, and find out how easily drugs and murder go hand-in-hand. Bad Weekend: Jacob looks after his former boss, comics artist Ethan Crane who is supposed to be honored at a comic convention. Ethan asked for Jacob for a certain reason. Cruel Summer: An 8-part story from multiple perspectives about the final summer of Teeg Lawless. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Criminal (2006) (Comic Book) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: ALL the frigging time. The Dead and the Dying takes the cake, but 'The Sinners' comes close. Cruel Summer: Ricky confesses that he indirectly caused Jane's death to Teeg. Teeg doesn't take this well and looks like he's to murder Ricky. Leo picks up a gun and kills Teeg. Consequently, Leo's father will takes the blame for Teeg's murder, goes to prison, and dies there. Leo also acknowledges that Teeg's death will not help the self-destructive Ricky at all. | |

He promises Riley that he'll keep his secret too, but Riley can't trust a tweaker, even if he is his best friend, and makes sure he dies of an overdose. | |

Betty and Veronica: Deconstruction in "The Last of the Innocent", and in particular deconstructing the Trope Namer; Riley Richards, a clear analogue of Archie, after years of unhappy marriage to the shallow, manipulative and adulterous "Veronica", realises he really should have stayed with the "Betty" instead. His solution to the problem... gets ugly. | |

Bitter Sweet Ending: The best we're likely to get thus far. Coward: Greta is killed by Roy-L's men, who also kidnap her daughter, Angie. Leo rescues Angie and avenges Angie, but he's severely wounded in the shootout and ultimately arrested by the police. Lawless: Tracy learns that Mallory killed Ricky because he was too self-destructive and that he would physically beat her. He chooses to let go of Mallory rather than take revenge on her. However, he's coerced by Sebastian Hyde to work for him. | |

All for Nothing: Just before Leo kills Teeg he can already see how much of a Pyrrhic Victory it will be. He can tell that his father will go to prison for Leo and die there, and that killing Teeg will not help the self-destructive Ricky at all. He still goes through with it and the predictable events transpire. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| Criminal (2006) (Comic Book) / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Many characters, particularly Leo and Tracy. Neither of them are angels, but they take no pleasure in the awful things they do. | |

The Chessmaster | |
| Criminal (2006) (Comic Book) / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: Played straight by crime boss Sebastian Hyde, and subverted by Leo, who is a master planner, but his fate is sealed and no rules can save him from his own true nature. | |

Expy | |
| Criminal (2006) (Comic Book) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Delron seems to be an even nastier version of the mob enforcer played by Joe Don Baker character in the 1970s Film Noir Charley Varrick. Most of the characters in "The Last of the Innocent" are grown-up versions of characters from Archie Comics transplanted into a noir setting and subjected to a process of deconstruction. A private detective also appears who is a grown-up version of Encyclopedia Brown. There's also a businessman who appears to be a grown-up version of Richie Rich. | |

Sympathetic P.O.V. | |
| Criminal (2006) (Comic Book) / int_e7db27c7 | comment |
Sympathetic P.O.V.: Considering the series title, it's unsurprising that most of its cast has pasts blackened by crime and violence, but most of them are portrayed as making hard choices in difficult situations. Amazingly, Teeg Lawless, Tracy and Ricky's violent, alcoholic thug of a father, is called a monster by everyone who knows him, but the story that focuses on him depicts him as a tragic figure, hopelessly out of control in his life and in constant pain without understanding why. | |
