Brian Azzarello writes a western just as well as he writes a crime drama, like 100 Bullets. He puts such feeling and detail into his stories, as well as action and drama, that's it's very easy to get sucked right in. I've said this before, but I can't believe it's 2006 and I'm reading 2 western books a month now. This has also prompted me to look on E-bay for some older DC westerns. Blackwater is in serious bad juju if they need to hire Wes Cutter as it's sheriff. And he still has Ruth out there roaming around in the woods, to keep her hidden and out of the mix. But Ruth has a way of finding her own trouble. Just ask the hitman that's just roamed into town, not to mention the gang of Confederate soldiers that are going around butchering people, or the Union soldiers looking for them. For someone that's trying to stay hidden, she interacted with a whole slew of people. At the end of this one, it looks as if the hitman has shot Wes Cutter down. Only Brian could weave a story this mesmerizing. And although they've been cycling through artists of late, each one has brought a style and look that really fits in with the theme of this book. I hope this one keeps going for a long time, because it's definitely worth the effort.
