I definitely like this book. Of course Garth Ennis brilliantly does the scripts. Mike Wolfer is ok on the art. It's not fantastic, or flashy. But, he does show improvement with every issue. It's just some of his facial expressions are a little skewed. And the flow of his frames is a little shaky sometimes. But all of that takes time and experience. So with some more issues under his belt, I think he'll be fairly impressive in a short period of time. The thing I like about this book is that it's so raw and realistic . . . almost to realistic . . . in it's adaptation of the wild west. Sadly, though, it's only a mini-series. Something I just figured out. But it's only going to have 6 issues. However, as with other titles of Garth's and Warren's and Alan's, with this company, if there's a demand for it, I'm sure there will be a follow up series. Basically, it's an accounting of this guy Pete, who ran in to Joe Dunn, shortly after his brother was killed. It was his first trip to the west. Joe is a famous and ruthless bounty hunter. For some reason he's taken a shine to Pete and, I think, ultimately he's trying to protect him. However, just by being associated with a man like Joe, has led him in to some very dangerous situations. Anyways, this story is being told to us by a much more mature Pete as he's in a diner telling it to his waitress. So it's kind of a "first-person", once removed, kind of thing. Anyways, it's a nice piece of fiction by Mr Ennis, and I'm just glad that we don't live in those types of times anymore.
