When you dive deep into the mystery it gets really really screwed up. Do we have a little bit of a hero on the streets? Lawless is sent to find out what the fuck is happening.

However, it's against people who deserve it. I mean shot in the back of the head, tricked and beaten to death, just some horrible ass deaths. So this storyline picks up where people, ones who aren't supposed to, are getting picked off one by one. Guess who's back? LAWLESS MOFOS! Hell yeah.

Volume 2 was one of my favorite storylines in Criminal Guess what? Lawless was the reason. Here’s Joni’s “Song for Sharon,” one of my favorite Joni songs ever, illustrated with a comic by Nathaniel Barlam! Here ya go (especially people who like Joni more than crime comics?): P.S.: I promised Jenna I would try to write some reviews with the challenge of making them connect to the music of Joni Mitchell. An exploartion of just who the real sinners are, but hint: There are no saints in Brubaker's deliciously dark tale. Crooked cops, Chinatown gangs, Hyde’s gang (and his daughter and wife), priests and altar boys, citizen vigilante justice, anguish and suffering all around in this sad tale that also features a killer with tenderness and ethical standards! Just excellent crime comics. Volume 5 continues that story, with gangland killings Tracy is required to investigate for Hyde. Tracy finds that Sebastian Hyde is going to make him repay some old debts by having him work back in the life he had tried to escape, the dirty details of which get “shared” (smeared on us, as in blood) in Criminal Volume 2: Lawless. He left his brother Ricky behind, unable to escape it when Ricky was found let dead in an alley, Tracy went AWOL from Iraq to discover his brother’s killer. We return in volume five to Tracy Lawless, Iraqi vet who had gone to Iraq to escape the criminal life in which his father had early trained him to succeed.
