The next book in the red-hot RECKLESS series is here! ""Oh man, this book pushed every crime fiction button for me...Bliss."" —PATTON OSWALT Bestselling crime noir masters ED BRUBAKER and SEAN PHILLIPS bring us a new original graphic novel starring troublemaker-for-hire Ethan Reckless. It's 1988, and Ethan has been hired for his strangest case yet: finding the secrets of a Los Angeles real estate mogul. How hard could that be, right? But what starts as a deep dive into the life of a stranger will soon take a deadly turn, and Ethan will risk everything that still matters to him. Another smash hit from the award-winning creators of RECKLESS, PULP, MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN JUNKIES, CRIMINAL, and KILL OR BE KILLED—and a must-have for all BRUBAKER and PHILLIPS fans!

It seems writers known for superhero stories have a secret desire to write pulp noir fiction. Some are terrible (BMB‘s GOLDFISH), and some, like this one, hit the target perfectly.
Fortunately, I came upon the origin story for the characters of an ongoing title. And, thankfully, this author avoids the obvious clichés of the genre for a simpler, more realistic tone. The result is a great crime series that I am thrilled to have found.

TieDyeDude Brubaker and Phillips are an amazing team. I love the Reckless series. I've only read one or two of their Criminal series so far. I'd also recommend Pulp, which is a stand alone. (edited) 6mo

Destroy All Monsters was another graphic novel on NPR‘s Best Book list. The library didn‘t have that one, but we did have these! They look very 70‘s, crime, noir, B movie so I‘m gonna check them out 🪓
