Review: Supercrooks Issue 4

Will Johnny Bolt succeed in his attempt to steal from the richest super villain? What lies ahead for his team and his love in this  unimaginable heist? Find out as the miniseries reaches it's stunning conclusion!

Writer Mark Millar and artist Leinil Yu's epic miniseries arrives with it's final issue, with a bang! The storyline which has focused on down-on-his-luck supervillain, Johnny Bolt, helping another friend out, has been masterfully intriguing. Millar has weaved a tale with extremely likeable characters with protagonist Bolt being one of them. It hasn't been easy not to cheer on Bolt despite his criminal past. However, Millar didn't exactly equate Bolt's vile and illegal activities to that of say, The Joker. Throughout these four issues, Millar has depicted a character and his team, with a bit of sympathy, making them more appealing and plausible for readers. The plot of helping his friend Carmine out of some financial difficulties with other ominous criminal elements, has certainly added to my pleasure of rooting for Johnny and his team. Millar has an interesting bit of scenes involving Carmine again, in the final issue, which will way make readers chuckle and say "here we go again"!

Review: Supercrooks Issue 3


Supercrooks issue 3 is a mind blowing read to say the least. Johnny Bolt's cohorts do their best to convince him not to go through with his plan to rob the supervillain, The Bastard, lest they all suffer dire fates. Does Johnny listen though?

Review: SUPERCROOKS Issue One


It’s hard not to like the characters portrayed in SUPERCROOKS.  In fact, you almost want to feel sorry for the bad guys in Mark Millar's latest title. Featuring fantastic artwork by Leinil Yu, the series focuses the lives and struggles of everyday criminals - with superpowers, that is. If you can picture the Ocean’s 11 gang powered with telekinesis, invincibility, then you have a general grasp of what parts of the book is all about. Of course, Millar’s story goes beyond that and offers something truly original and engaging for readers to delve into.
