Summary

The fourth book in the best-selling Reckless series is here！

Bestselling crime noir masters Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips bring us yet another original graphic novel starring troublemaker-for-hire Ethan Reckless。

Except this time it's the winter of 1989 and Ethan is out of town， so Anna must tackle this job on her own。 When a movie scream queen asks her to prove the mansion she's renovating isn't haunted， Anna will stumble into the decades-long mystery of one of Hollywood's most-infamous murder houses。。。 a place with many dark secrets， some of which might just kill her。

Another hit from the award-winning creators of RECKLESS， PULP， MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN JUNKIES， CRIMINAL， and KILL OR BE KILLED -- and a must-have for all Brubaker and Phillips fans！

It’s the winter of 1989 and Ethan Reckless is out of town when his assistant， Anna， is approached by a new client: the actor who played the Elvira-esque Evilina。 She’s just inherited a mansion in the Hollywood Hills and wants Anna to find out if it’s haunted。 Heeeeere’s… The Ghost in You！ I thought Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips had closed out Reckless with last year’s third book， Destroy All Monsters， but I guess they’re gonna keep the series going indefinitely like Criminal。 Which is no bad thi It’s the winter of 1989 and Ethan Reckless is out of town when his assistant， Anna， is approached by a new client: the actor who played the Elvira-esque Evilina。 She’s just inherited a mansion in the Hollywood Hills and wants Anna to find out if it’s haunted。 Heeeeere’s… The Ghost in You！ I thought Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips had closed out Reckless with last year’s third book， Destroy All Monsters， but I guess they’re gonna keep the series going indefinitely like Criminal。 Which is no bad thing as this is a decent title and so is the latest addition， Volume 4: The Ghost in You。 There’s not a whole lot to say about this one。 Brubaker and Phillips are a well-oiled machine at this point and Brubaker can put together a solid crime story that’s capably drawn by Phillips and that’s what you get with this book。 I liked reading about the history of the Lamour Mansion and there’s always something going on to more-or-less hold the attention even if it’s the usual features of a crime story that Brubaker’s done many a time before。 Similarly， Phillips’ art is fine but he’s not doing anything here that any longtime readers of this creative team hasn’t seen him do in any number of books previously。 But the story just isn’t that exciting and the underwhelming solution left me with the impression that I’d read a soap opera-y Scooby-Doo episode （with the Velma-esque protagonist Anna） 。 It’s not a bad comic though and definitely better than the last one - Anna can certainly hold her own as the main character。 The Ghost in You is worth a look if you’re a fan of this creative team or crime comics in general but don’t expect anything that amazing。 Anyways， glad to know we can expect further Reckless books in the future and here’s hoping this October’s Volume 5: Follow Me Down， about what Ethan was up to in San Francisco while he was away during this book， is even better！ 。。。more

Well， there was me thinking this was a trilogy and it was all done and dusted – only for a fourth one to turn up。 I think I misread a comment early on from the creators about knowing there would be three， and didn't realise that was just their minimum。 That said， this does make some efforts to remove itself from the patchy series so far， to the extent that Mr Reckless Daftname is not even here。 We're looking at Anna， his assistant and friend and so on， who is asked by a C-list horror star to wor Well， there was me thinking this was a trilogy and it was all done and dusted – only for a fourth one to turn up。 I think I misread a comment early on from the creators about knowing there would be three， and didn't realise that was just their minimum。 That said， this does make some efforts to remove itself from the patchy series so far， to the extent that Mr Reckless Daftname is not even here。 We're looking at Anna， his assistant and friend and so on， who is asked by a C-list horror star to work out what's wrong about the Hollywood mansion she's just inherited – the Hollywood mansion marred by misery， multiple deaths and nuns。。。This once again is a flawed work， however fun the haunted house exploration can get。 Long before the voice-over has been forced to give pages and pages and screeds of exposition about the mansion and all that went on there， it's been forced to tell us just what it thinks we need to know about Anna， and even this doesn't work – especially as we've known the voice to be a narrator for Reckless Bobby。 How does Mr Narrator Guy know all about her， when Reckless Norman is so unable to get things right when she's concerned？ It just feels off。If this wants to fit in with the rest of the series， it might have dealt with a belief system going wrong， as the first two especially did; here you can just about see it might partly be about the faith we have in the glamour of Hollywood， the false sheen put on its players， and how we think their private life is as sunny and storybook as their product。 But no， once again the period setting is mostly so that people are without the help of mobile phones and digital cameras， and little else， and there is the major stumbling block of Anna's issues to hamper things as well。I will still be back for the fifth book， but still grudgingly so （I want more Friday， first， guys， and no mistake）。 Reckless Eric （ah now， there's a name to work with at last， and not the stupid one the character is stuck with） is boosted here by some very easy but still very enjoyable haunted house frissons， but he and his whole wide world really should be better， especially from these creators。 Three and a half stars。 。。。more
