On his MySpace blog, writer Ed Brubaker reassures Criminal fans who may have been concerned by the book’s absence from Marvel’s March solicitations:
A few readers have written to express concern because Criminal wasn’t solicited for March release, so I thought I better address the subject, before rumors start swirling of our demise or something.
Criminal is doing very well right now, and as long as sales continue to allow, we’ll keep putting it out. But as we said in all our early press about the book, the plan has always been to take a month or two off between arcs, to allow Sean to draw more Zombies at Marvel, and so we can breath between storylines a bit. But we will be back in the catalogs for issue 6 soon, so do not worry.
But as always, we can never have enough readers, so if you haven’t checked out Criminal, which James Gunn just recommended last week on his blog, by the way, then please give it a try, and if you don’t see it at your retailer, please ask them to carry it.

James Gunn also wrote the excellent “Toy Collector” a few years ago. I HIGHLY suggest the book to anyone who has infantile needs, but has yet to satisfy them.
