The best noir comic turns 20 and celebrates it with a trailer for its Prime Video series that leaves us speechless

Twenty years ago the writer Ed Brubaker and the artist Sean Phillips joined forces to begin the best noir comic in history: Criminal. With five volumes so far adding up to 38 issues, an absolute critical and commercial success, a landmark title in comics, it will soon be coming to our TV screens. Because it’s going to be adapted into a Prime Video series. And now we’re getting a spectacular trailer.

The best noir comes to Prime Video

The trailer shows everything we need to know: a dark tone and a slight auteur streak that embraces the violence and the evident emotional weight of the comic. Split into two parts, the first will adapt the story “Coward” and will premiere on January 13 and will be directed by Anna Borden and Ryan K. Fleck. The second will adapt the story “Lawless” and will premiere on January 27 and will be directed by Dee Rees.

What’s more, the cast is full of stars. Showing how much Prime Video believes in it. With Charlie Hunnam, Luke Evans, Adria Arjona and Richard Jenkins as part of the series, what’s undeniable is that the series is going to have a lot of acting talent behind it. Relying heavily on familiar faces to draw in the audience.

About the series, in the first part we’ll follow Leo Patterons and Ricky Lawless, who will have to face their past after a heist goes wrong. And in the second part we’ll follow Tracy Lawless, Ricky’s brother, who will have to return to a life of crime after leaving it behind to help his brother. Two stories that are a perfect way to begin 2027, whether you’ve read the comic or not.
