Comics’ great crime thriller veterans — writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips — are back with an all-new Criminal graphic novel: Five Gears in Reverse. Out today, Image Comics has just released a first look. Although, it is only out in comic book stores; booksellers get it in June.

Anyway, here’s the preview now and full synopsis:

“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.”
