[Michael · Rating 2 out of 5]

A somewhat simplistic script for a check-off-the boxes western horror story by R.A. Jones that's nonetheless bolstered by Ted Slampyak's beautiful-as-always art (pretty much why I bought the book). Script (1 star) Art (4 stars)

The Saddlebags Jones back-up western feature by Slampyak and writer David Watkins gels a bit better in a humorous (and distaff) spin on the tenderfoot sub-genre. (4 stars)

The adventures of an accursed vampire hunter in the Wild West. Not actually bad, just routine, the kind of book where the big twist gets an "oh, of course" from me.

I'm amused that the portal to hell is conveniently in Colorado. Kinda over the top, but I enjoyed the art and The Candy Heiress bonus comic.

Some solid weird West, vampire hunting action.

This one was a bit too much Interview with a Vampire and not enough Deadwood for my tastes.
