Ghost of the Badlands
Arizona Territory, May 1896
Canyon Diablo is a reascendant Gomorrah.
With rail bridge construction halted by hellfire and tragedy, and railroad companies warring with local land owners to complete it, the town becomes an open boil on the Arizona Desert.
Gamblers proliferate. Prostitutes ply their trade. Brigands roam on the roadways, waylaying the innocent for an unknown purpose.
But the bandits are not alone.
Something stirs in the Painted Desert. Someone systematically exterminates coach robbers and murderers. Dealing out a deadly reckoning to all who assail the weak.
Gunfight after gunfight. Coffin after coffin. Legend soon grows of this phantom of the high desert.
A lone pistolier dispensing God's judgment. A one-man vendetta ride, wielding a strange mechanical weapon of the Old World. Baptizing the heathen in hails of gunfire.
Eventually, folk find a name for this masked missionary of death...

The story is boring and predictable, there's not a single interesting thing or idea. It's just regurgitating cliches and tropes and speeches about the price of progress.
On the other hand, I really liked the art, and I hope the artist will get better scripts, I'd like to see more of his work.
