Destroy All Monsters: A Reckless Book

"Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ long partnership has produced a number of clever takes on hard-boiled crime fiction, but Ethan Reckless – a former Weather Underground radical who lives in an old movie theater and drives a VW van – is their quirkiest hero to date. Reckless has starred in several of the duo’s books since last year, each notable for its explosive mix of Brubaker’s wry, allusive writing and Phillips’ re-creation of ‘70s style. This one focuses on Reckless’ relationship with his movie-buff sidekick, Anna, the only character in the series who’s more relatable than he is."
