As tales of the Citrusville bog-monster continue to spread, two college-aged documentary filmmakers arrive in the swamps, accompanied by their nubile girlfriends, determined to sort fact from fiction. But, unfortunately for them, the two filmmakers are unaware that the Man-Thing isn't the ONLY monster in the swamps -- that there is, in fact, a tribe of cannibalistic half-breeds who would love nothing more than to hunt and eat a van-load of fresh meat. The MAX re-telling of Man-Thing's origin continues this issue, narrated by Digger, and featuring the return of...Ellen Brandt?

CRIMINAL 2 #3
Written by Ed Brubaker
Pencils and cover by Sean Phillips
Its the final of three interlinking standalone stories, in CRIMINALs new expanded format!
*Female of the Species* is the final piece to the noir puzzle of these three stories of crime and murder in the early 1970s. Told from the sympathetic POV of a Femme Fatale on her path to one final score and the revenge shes been waiting years to get. A heartbreaking look into the other side of a noir tradition.
And on top of this longer-than-usual length main story, CRIMINAL now features an *expanded* back-pages section, as well with articles by Brubaker and other top crime writers, from novelists to screenwriters to comic writers. These noir articles have become a popular piece of the CRIMINAL package, and are something that can only be found in the comics, not in any collections. So dont miss out on this *standalone* issue of the most acclaimed crime comic on the stands!
