An all new book in the sensational Reckless series by the award-winning duo, Brubaker and Phillips. These two have outdone themselves once again! In Destroy All Monster,readers get a closer look into the events that led to Ethan and Anna’s unlikely friendship and witness the incident that almost ended it.

Ethan’s gone and done it again. He’s upset Anna and he knows it. After finding her in a troubled state and basically raising her for years, it’s hard for him to see her with partners he feels are unworthy, and it’s even harder for him to keep his mouth shut about it. This time Anna’s really had it. She’s left the El Ricardo, but Ethan’s trying to win her back. He’s bought her a sentimental gift and offered her a gig, working on the current case he’s on. However, what he doesn’t know is that this case may be the one that tears the two apart, permanently.

Another top-notch crime noir, comic creation by Brubaker and Phillips. These two have perfected their craft in this genre and it’s clear to see. The writing is phenomenal and reads like a screenplay for a hit crime drama and the illustrations are just as good! Both new readers and old will absolutely obsess over this book.
