Two siblings discuss some of the great creators in comics history, with a few minor digressions along the way. Forget boring nerdtalk and mindless jibber-jabber (actually don't forget them, you might need them later), this is The Comics Podcast You Like™!
The Runners run out the clock on the year, the Reckless books, and the Ed Brubaker miniseries with our senses-shattering coverage of the final two volumes of Reckless! With Ethan out of town, Anna investigates the eerie goings on at her childhood idol's Hollywood home. But Ethan isn't cooling his heels - his own adventure starts as a favour to a friend, but soon finds him wrapped up in a cause of his own. Topics of discussion include issues with the OGN format, Brubaker's character work, and celebrating a very special Got the Runs milestone. Plus - our definitive Ed Brubaker rankings! (Not to be disputed!!)
Covering Reckless: The Ghost In You (2022) and Reckless: Follow Me Down (2022) by Ed Brubaker (W), Sean Phillips (A), and Jacob Phillips (C).

Ho, ho, ho, happy week between Christmas and New Years! It's a double feature this week as the Runners wrap up their Ed Brubaker miniseries with the Reckless series of graphic novels. Private investigator/repo man/wrecking ball (but mostly private investigator) Ethan Reckless and his trusty sidekick Anna trip their way through 70s and 80s Los Angeles on a variety of sordid cases.

Ed Brubaker vol. 13: Kill or Be Killed #1-20
Brubaker and Phillips issue the ultimate "Would You Rather" with their moral thought experiment/pulpy crime thriller Kill or Be Killed, and the Runners are ready to play! (For us, it's going to be "Kill".) Depressed graduate student Dylan's life goes from bad to worse when he finds himself locked to a contract with a demon requiring him to kill one person each month or forfeit his own life, but soon finds a new sense of purpose when his unexpected calling empowers him to confront evil in ways he never imagined. Topics of discussion include the book's divisive ending, the Sean Phillips showcase in the artwork, and an investigation into whether Dr. Dre is actually a doctor.
Covering Kill or Be Killed (2016) #1-20 by Ed Brubaker (W), Sean Phillips (A), and Elizabeth Breitweiser (C).
