Image announces the return of Ethan Reckless in a new volume of the hit graphic novel series Reckless from Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, and Jacob Phillips. The new graphic novel is titled Follow Me Down and will make its way to stores this October. This makes five original graphic novels released within two years for the creative team, something almost unheard of in American comics.
The OGN picks up in 1989, dealing with a major earthquake that sets Ethan on a case to find a missing woman. True to Reckless form, the case spirals and throws Ethan deep into the darkness of San Francisco.
Writer Ed Brubaker stated in the press release “The Reckless books have not just been a runaway hit, they’ve also been a joy for me and Sean to work on—our great escape has been trying to bring some escapism and pulp thrills to our readers in these strange times. This time out, after letting Anna take the lead in the previous book, Ethan is back in charge, and… well, the book is called Follow Me Down so you can guess that things aren’t exactly coming up roses for him,” continuing with “But there are some big surprises in store here, that will punch our longtime readers in the guts a bit, I hope.”
