Destroy All Monsters: A Reckless Book

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips continue their acclaimed crime-noir partnership with Destroy All Monsters: A Reckless Book, the second in their "Reckless" series from Image. This 2021 graphic novel follows the hard-boiled investigator Ethan Reckless into a case that drags him through the seedy underbelly of 1980s Los Angeles, blending pulp thrills with the creators' signature psychological depth. It matters as a taut, standalone entry in one of modern comics' most celebrated creative runs, showcasing Brubaker's sharp plotting and Phillips' moody, evocative artwork.
