Summary
The FIFTH BOOK in the best-selling Reckless series is here！
Bestselling crime noir masters Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips bring us another original graphic novel starring troublemaker-for-hire Ethan Reckless。
In the wake of the 1989 earthquake， Ethan takes a trip to San Francisco to search for a missing woman。 But almost immediately he finds himself going down a path of darkness and murder in her wake， in a case unlike anything he's faced before。
FOLLOW ME DOWN is the most intense of the Reckless books so far， and yet another hit from the most-acclaimed team in comics， creators of PULP， MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN JUNKIES， CRIMINAL， THE FADE OUT， and KILL OR BE KILLED。 A must-have for all Brubaker and Phillips readers！

San Francisco 1989， post-earthquake， and a woman who was abused as a kid is killing her abusers one by one。 Ethan joins in ‘cos he lurves her， ooo！ Not that it really matters but this is the story that’s happening concurrently with the one in the previous book， The Ghost in You - where Anna’s doing her thang in LA and Ethan’s doing his in San Francisco。 Follow Me Down is the fifth（！） Reckless book Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have done in two years and the quality is really suffering from the r San Francisco 1989， post-earthquake， and a woman who was abused as a kid is killing her abusers one by one。 Ethan joins in ‘cos he lurves her， ooo！ Not that it really matters but this is the story that’s happening concurrently with the one in the previous book， The Ghost in You - where Anna’s doing her thang in LA and Ethan’s doing his in San Francisco。 Follow Me Down is the fifth（！） Reckless book Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have done in two years and the quality is really suffering from the rapidity of the publication schedule - I’d put this book down there with Destroy All Monsters as the worst in the series。 It’s a very uninspired and slow-moving story。 Ethan does his usual schtick: he’s given a mission， he interviews suspects， drives around following people， roughing some up， and so on。 We’ve seen him do this so many times by now （assuming you’ve been reading all of the books in the series like I have） that it’s rote。 The occasional scene is mildly interesting and Sean Phillips’ art is solid but by and large the comic was very unengaging and forgettable with an anticlimactic finale。 Ironically， early in the story， Ethan suggests a Planet of the Apes marathon for their movie theatre and Anna says that only the first one is any good - that’s how I’d describe Reckless the series too: only the first one is really worth checking out。 Brubaker mentions in his afterword that they’re taking a hiatus on Reckless to do other stuff next but that they’ll be back to continue the series again soon。 Let’s hope the break leads to some better ideas because Follow Me Down clearly shows they’re running on empty。 。。。more

The fourth Reckless book wasn't free on Edelweiss， or at least not when I was looking， so I've not read that one - but apparently it's a Reckless story minus Ethan Reckless himself， taking place at the same time as this， so I wasn't too lost here。 Besides， the old pulp novel series that inspired this were never huge on intricate continuity。 To some extent this retreads the territory of the second volume， Friend Of The Devil， with the lost girl fallen among bad men， and as a plot motor that still The fourth Reckless book wasn't free on Edelweiss， or at least not when I was looking， so I've not read that one - but apparently it's a Reckless story minus Ethan Reckless himself， taking place at the same time as this， so I wasn't too lost here。 Besides， the old pulp novel series that inspired this were never huge on intricate continuity。 To some extent this retreads the territory of the second volume， Friend Of The Devil， with the lost girl fallen among bad men， and as a plot motor that still feels more than a little icky - but this time out there's at least an attempt to acknowledge that plots which would fly in the eighties might not now， to play her more as survivor than victim， give her agency and make this her story as much as Ethan's。 Whether it succeeds， well， that's another question。 But I still love the series' art - the interior never quite matches the cover's uncanny Peter Stormare likeness* but it does have an absolutely gorgeous Yosemite sequence。 And it's fascinating that a story about the walls we build in our minds and the things we forget should be set in the wake of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake， which I had to look up， before realising that I'd seen those pictures on the news， of course I had， and how had that slipped away？*I recently saw his Red Alert cutscene and the remarkable thing is that despite the later scene with just Tim Curry being the one everyone knows， when they're together Stormare makes Curry look underplayed。 。。。more
