Nick Pepper, Amazon Studios’ Head of US SVOD TV Development and Series – Wholly Owned signed Brubaker into a development deal back in 2019 and, along with EVP Development King, put Criminal in development at the indie studio.

I actually never read any of this, but I'll certainly give the show a chance when it comes out! I've enjoyed other stuff I've read by Brubaker.

Now that's cool. All the volumes I've read have at least been pretty interesting, and the finale of the first vol. still sticks with me even though I haven't read it since the original publication years and years ago.
