Ed Brubaker has announced in his newsletter that Criminal #2 and #3 are both going back to print. This is the latest volume to his praised series with artist Sean Phillips.

The two issues make up the “Bad Weekend” storyline that blends fantasy and reality revolving around a comic creator and a comic convention that looks a lot like one in San Diego.

The demand for the single issues keep growing so a new printing, with a different color logo, is happening. You can read our review of Criminal #2 and Criminal #3.

“Bad Weekend” is also getting collected with eight pages of added scenes. It’ll be released in both hardback and softback editions.

Criminal #5 comes to shelves June 5 and due to sellouts, comic shops are getting an overship of 50% more than they ordered at no additional cost. It kicks off a new jumping on point and is a perfect start for new readers.
