If you know a Jack Reacher fan who thinks they don’t like comics, get them this one (and then the rest of the books in the series - I think there are supposed to be at least three published by the end of 2021). It all leads him to a drug smuggling operations, an armed compound, and a showdown with a guy wielding a machete.īrubaker and Phillips have been making the best crime graphic novels out there for decades. And there’s lots of that as he looks into getting Rainy’s money back and bad things happen. His bestselling work with Sean Phillips on CRIMINAL, INCOGNITO, FATALE, and THE FADE OUT has been translated around the world to great acclaim, and Marvel's movies featuring his co-creation, The Winter Soldier, have all been international blockbusters. The only emotion he can feel anymore is anger. Ed Brubaker is one of the most acclaimed writers in comics, winning five best writer Eisner and Harvey Awards in the last ten years. Reckless remembers how he felt for her, but since the explosion his emotions, even in his memories, are flat. She needs his help to get some money she’s owed it will allow her to get out of the country and start over. Back then he was in love with Rainy, who is still on the run, and who just made contact with him. He almost died in an explosion that ended his “career,” and he can’t remember the events of that day. And the best new twist on paperback pulp heroes since The Punisher or Jack Reacher. Years ago Reckless was a student informant for the FBI, undercover in a radical group. Sex, drugs, and murder in 1980s Los Angeles. And he operates out of a classic movie theater - how cool is that? He solves problems big and small, and sometimes he even makes money doing it.
