There aren’t lots of legendary comic book designer team-ups. Joe Simon as well as Stan Lee, Bob Kane as well as expense Finger, Brian Michael Bendis as well as Alex Maleev, Jeph Loeb as well as Tim Sale. as well as one of the best, a lot more recent team-ups: Ed Brubaker (that person who brought Bucky back to life) as well as Sean Phillips.

They likewise had fantastic success with their follow-ups, poor Weekend, as well as the recently released Pulp. however now, they’re doing something much a lot more ambitious. Brubaker as well as Phillips are teaming up for Reckless, an OGN series. as well as that’s truly something we haven’t seen much of in American comics.

While other countries—especially Japan—primarily create OGN series, America is still doing short, 22-page single issues. DC as well as marvel have both dabbled with OGN series.

“Reckless comes from my like of pulp heroes as well as personal eyes,” Brubaker stated in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter. “When I’m craving escapism, I pick up a Jack Reacher book… or a Lew Archer, or a Claire DeWitt, or a Travis McGee, or an simple Rawlings, or a Parker… as well as I get taken away by these characters as well as their worlds. I wished to bring that feeling over to comics, with a series of graphic novels that each tell a total story, a thriller or mystery… as well as also, for as long as Sean as well as I have been working together, we’ve nearly never focused on a hero. So Reckless is a huge left turn for us, however it’s still our version of a ‘hero’ — so often a lot more of an anti-hero, probably.”
Even better? They already have two volumes in the pipeline. picture Comics will debut volume one mid-December this year, as well as volume two next April. presuming all of us make it through 2020, at least we have something to look ahead to!
