![]() ![]() Brubaker will make you laugh, wince, and cry all within a single page, for vastly different reasons. But when you back up, you see it’s all part of the same complex picture. It’s full of scenes, themes, and storylines that feel disconnected. The Ghost in You, like Anna, looks like a mosaic at first. She’s quick to smile but quicker to scowl. ![]() She’s the kind of character who isn’t sure if she believes in ghosts, but knows she no longer believes in people. But Anna is also more complicated than that, and so is Brubaker’s script. Anna is a breath of fresh air, so naturally the book where she’s pulling the strings would feel the same way. Even Ethan’s tone in his narrations has a lighter, funnier feel to it. Instead, his assistant Anna runs the show. Though the stories in this series are narrated by Ethan Reckless – our grizzled private eye with a name that matches his lifestyle – Reckless doesn’t show up much in The Ghost in You. Writer Ed Brubaker, artist Sean Phillips – the creative team behind classics like Fatale, Kill or Be Killed, Criminal, and Pulp – and colorist Jacob Phillips, take us through haunted houses and family trauma in their new Reckless book. ![]() ![]() Image Comics’ The Ghost in You, the fourth book in the Reckless series, is a fresh, satisfying new chapter in this already brilliant run. Trouble is, she’s got her boss’s knack for attracting mountains of trouble. His assistant, Anna – a pink haired, bespectacled punk rocker – is more than capable of holding down the fort. ![]()
