Reckless

[The NZA]

 

little while back, i'd made a thraad on crime/pulp stuff, and found that the combination of brubaker & sean phillips is probably my favorite team currently doing comics...they've both won eisners for their work, and as much as i adored Criminal, it seems like they're only getting better

 

Reckless is 3 books in so far (Destroy All Monsters was just last fall - swear to god, i write these releases down on my calendar, that's how much i enjoy them) and i really don't wanna say anything to spoil book 1, so here's image's plug:

 

Sex, drugs, and murder in 1980s Los Angeles, and the best new twist on paperback pulp heroes since The Punisher or Jack Reacher.

ED BRUBAKER and SEAN PHILLIPS, the modern masters of crime noir, bring us the last thing anyone expected from them—a good guy. A bold new series of original graphic novels, with three books releasing over the next year, each a full-length story that stands on its own.

Meet Ethan Reckless: Your trouble is his business, for the right price. But when a fugitive from his radical student days reaches out for help, Ethan must face the only thing he fears…his own past.

 

same team did Pulp last year or so too, an excellent western that won them another eisner. for real, gve this series a go, it's some of the best stuff i've read in ages.
