Do critical hits bypass shields, and in what order are normal hits and crits dealt?

The rulebook text covers this directly, and forum players read it the same way.

Crits do not bypass shields. Damage is suffered one point at a time, all normal damage before any critical damage, and each point, critical or not, removes a shield token first. The faceup Damage card is only dealt once no shields remain, so a critical absorbed by a shield has no critical effect.
