Writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips formed one of my personal favorite creative teams in comics. Since 2006, they've been releasing crime stories in their series Criminal. This video looks at their partnership and the noir tropes they utilize to make their comics. - บันเทิง
Wow, he brought back taping the tropes on to the wall.
thats hype
Vol. 3 to be exact
So happy to see a “classic” comic tropes!!!
Hello Chris, I just want you to know that I enjoy your channel and I use your videos frequently in the classroom to teach writing. I find that students have a hard time grasping how to introduce an essay thesis. I find your introductions funny and illustrative. After watching 6 or 7 of your videos where you introduce a topic, students start to get it. Thank you very much.
Brubaker’s Captain America, Daredevil, and Gotham Central are amazing. Glad to see you doing some independent comics too.
Chris seemed a bit too experienced making prank calls. We might have a career criminal on our hands here.
The trick for prank calls is to keep them involved in the conversation lol
Brubaker and Darwyn Cooke’s Catwoman is still my favorite version of that character.
When it comes to gritty crime comics with some real soul to them, you can’t go wrong with Brubaker and Greg Rucka.
I like your One-take approach on your videos. No blabber, no wild cuts... very relaxing!
And the only Mark in the store is so confused that everyone is avoiding him.
This is such a Great comic and brubaker and philips are two amazing storytellers by themselves and when they are together they become an artistic Force to be reckoned with. Fatale, sleeper and the fade out are between my favourite comics ever. I also loved kill or be killed.
That prank was pure gold. She actually had empathy for Chris.
That call made my day
Criminal and East of West are my favorite comics!! Thanks Chris!! So happy I’m a Patron!!
I'm glad you love Comic Tropes too Skip! His videos are great. Good to see you man!
Gateway into Comics Dont know how I didn’t get this message reply, but heck yeah, Chris is the best! I’m a Patron too! Looking forward to your next video 🙌🏾
That intro seque was probably my favorite one
Alex Wargo same lol “you caught me committing a crime! 🤷🏼♂️”
chris' face holy fuck lmaooo
Lol
Nothing beats “Oh hi you caught me dying”
Oh man... that crank call started out with me doubting you had any idea what you were doing and then... BAM... everything turned epic.
I was literally going to your channel on an hourly basis today to get my fix.
The camera went kinda wonky early on: I thought TH-cam dropped me down to 144p again
Bruh this a gold tier prank
Say now, that Sleeper comic sounds interesting.
I just read his Fatale comic. It's got that Noir and horror in it. Ed Brubaker just became my favorite comic book writer.
Love the return of listing the tropes. Of course not all videos need it but I find it a nice touch! Criminal is a fantastic comic, top tier crime fiction all the way. Hope all is well Chris, thanks for the video!
I love the return to tropes! And the crank call was great!
Trying to infuse some Sean Phillips into my inks right now, so that was timely. Great show!
Thanks for taking one for the team with that prank call!
My favorite duo working today. I've read everything they've done and it's all good to great.
How are more comic book fans not subbing to you??! You've turned me onto so many different books I'd never have found otherwise
TH-cam doesn't recommend my videos much right now so a lot of potential viewers just don't know about me.
Well I'm doin my damndest to make that change, I think everyone in my circle knows this channel (also that vamperilla episode you did blew my mind as I use card sleeves with her on them for my vampire deck) thank you for being a dopus teacher
Oh hell yeah. Brubaker and Phillips are like peanut butter and jelly. I read all of the Criminal volumes. So good.
Awesome video, discovered some great comics again wow !
Love this duo! I been going back and consuming everything of theirs over the last few months. Finishing up the last volume of FATALE today (highly recommend) and definitely recommend "My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies". Love the channel,bud!
I really want to watch this video, but I don't want the story to get spoiled. I still need to finish the last two fFtale books I have before I read Criminal. I left you a thumbs up because I am a HUGE fan of your channel.
Always enjoyable content. Thanks.
very interesting video. love the breakdown of the tropes, and synopsis of the book. Very informative and exactly the video I was looking for. I am just know getting into ed brubaker and this video helped me learned more about him
jesus how is chris' opening skits god tier?
They're the best.
I’m coming in covered in asbestus with a mysterious disease and I’m unqualified for the job 🤣 way to make them want you to stay home, laughing so hard
Absolutely masterful prank call
So cool you went back to the old format
Just when I thought I was out , he pulls me back into comics !
That prank call was life hahahasha
Should We Be More Concerned Over The Crime He Just Admitted to? Do we call Batman?
I didn't know he did the Gumby 3D book! That's one I've got to look for to add to my 3D collection!
I've got Lowlife. I feel like that and Deadenders were Brubaker's pre crime oeuvre. Even though they're very different from his later work, I think there's something about how personal those comics are that still resonates.
An ed brubaker gumby comic? What did gumby jump into a dashiell hammett novel
I sees a comic tropes video, I hits like.
Every time I hear you saying 'Hello' it reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.
Shout-out to _Gotham Central_ ! It is, by far, the best _Batman_ spin-off. Since reading it, Brubaker has become one of my favorite comic authors!
EDIT: _Gotham Central_ isn't so much noir as it is hard-boiled police procedural, but its excellent!
EXcellent prank call!
Watching this in April 2020 and I'm in tears
oh hi! you caught me commenting on a TH-cam video! let's talk about the best intro to a video on all of TH-cam...
You absolute madlad, you actually prank called
I'm really happy to see the return of the trope counts. I was wondering if the "kids" thing was hurting the channel. While some kids might like some of your episodes, I really don't think children in general would be that into most of the content.
If that person had asked "Mark who?" I wonder if Chris would have said either "Millar" or "Spector"? XD =P
One of my top 3 writers in comics
Easily one of the best crime fiction duo in the comic book industry.
I hope they bring back Gotham Central and its a breath of fresh air to see Gotham in the police's perspective.
By the same Brubaker/Philips team, there’s also The Fade Out, it’s great
whats really criminal is the fact this only has 1000 likes
Sleeper is one of the best series I’ve ever read. Period.
Dude, call the police on that store. The delightful young lady on the end of the line clearly has a vendetta against society.
Now would you imagine if Ed Brubaker and Sean Philips both did a fantasy book together? Would that be interesting?
Last of the Innocent is one of the best comics ever created. Jet black take on Archie using Criminal as a lens. Will never not love it
The whole video was out of focus and yet i didn't want the video to end
How many levels of prank calling are there? Because you're seriously at the highest, Chris. How many times have you pretended to be Mark who works there?
I can't believe you've done this 😅
LOL I had to click away during the Prank call. I just couldn't watch it happen! :D
Would love to see you do a feature on Scalped.
I watched this on VHS, looks fine to me, and ya ya, I know, what is VHS?
Wow this is was unexpectedly funny
I'll tell you how they tackle Noir: two fists at a time!
I have the complete original series and sequels in floppies...I should probably read them sometime.
Hi. You caught me committing a crime.
*FBI WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION*
Keep the tropes on the wall :p
I have a question for you Chris, The Last of the Innocent came out 2011 and Brubaker openly admits to the usage of Archie like characters. Do you think that this run of Criminal being so well received lead to Archie Comics themselves taking notice and allowing for the creation of Afterlife with Archie? That series seems to be the starting point of people really caring for the characters again and leading to the current Archie renaissance of the last six years. Just wondering your thoughts. And I agree they are my favorite comic collaborators with multiple titles together.
It's possible but I have never come across an interview that ascribes the more realistic Archie books to Criminal so it's all conjecture.
@@ComicTropes True. It would be interesting, but I doubt at least for the foreseeable future anyone would make the claim. Thanks for the reply.
How do i get my Gachapon
The new ball spinner for the fan art winner selection doesn't seem to work properly with a small number of balls -- they all just stay in place. Not that you need me to tell ya that...
thanks
Thanks for the video. Noir is hard to do.
Nice
Sleeper showed Brubaker and Phillips had a knack for downbeat endings and they really capitalized with Criminal. The endings follow from the tragic flaws of the characters instead of random bad stuff happening to them. "Last of the Innocent" is a change of pace though: Leo, the Lawlesses and Gnarley might've been anti-heroes but Riley is flat-out the villain. He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever yet the story is diabolically constructed to make him sympathetic. So the bad ending is very different in his case.
was this video Noir cause your dark and out of focus... i like it =D
You're the best
Man, you gotta get more focused.... get it? get it? .... :-D Nice episode!
Anyone else want Brubaker and Philips on a Jessica Jones"Alias" or x-factor investigations comic?
Came for the video about "the boys", stayed for the funny intros!
Is there something wrong with the camera or is that just me?
Brian Turner I bumped my lens out of focus without realizing.
ComicTropes Ah okay, thanks for the reply 👍🏽
How is Chris not in jail yet?
If anyone is reading this I'd be very interested in some Ed brubakers work so if you have any recommendations pls let me know
My favorite comic combo is the edgyboy writing combo of J.M. DeMatteis and Keith Giffen.
Is my monitor broken?
ive had both of the omnibus volumes sat on my shelf un read for far too long.
If you like Noir read Blacksad
Gumby 3D, you say? Tell me more...
Dumb rant, but I really hate how they used to color Phillips' art back in the day. Those gradients look so bad.
Kill or be killed really flopped for me especially at the end
It was great for me, up until the end, it could've been done better
The. Landslide I was hooked until like the last three. I feel like they were set on ending it before they really fleshed things out. Could used four or six more issues
Noire seems to mean dark rather than black... Woeful sums it up very well.
English is a weird language.
Ed Brubaker proves Noir can be awesome, unlike miller where everything must be unhumanly ugly.
Maybe fans should send this poor guy a camera & microphone instead of art...
ed brubaker dc black label matches Malone story
Asbestos Gloves
So...ya think you’re gonna be safe with COPPA?
Is the camera really fuzzy or is that just me
Too bad the deluxe edition of vol 1 is OOP... I enjoyed the Fatale book also very much
Wow, I’m early
