Art cathed my eye and setting during in Oklahoma Panhandle during mayor groughts and dust storms was quite intriguing and promising.
Unfortunatelly, exectuiton is quite poor. The story is quite mediocre, the more you read it, the more dull it is. Lot of story lines, strangley entangled, ending is quite hasty and missing some proper explanations and conclusion. Being that this is criminal story, it is quite dissapointing.
Paneling is sometimes ok, but sometimes quite badly paced, especially in action sequences. Usage of unnecessary small frames together with characters that looks like each other, is making whole thing chaotic and hard to follow sometimes.
Wasted potential. 2.5*

read in single issues.
If it were a movie, I'd be more invested. i found it hard to distinguish characters as they lacked a distinctive colour to differentiate themselves. they are obviously drawn extremely well with distinctive faces, but theyr not real people (besides the two that look like Julia styles and cute blanchett) and i wasnt following whose who.
the story involves a masked killer, a failing farming town, a sheriff trying to do right. some subversions of cliched archetypes/trope characters.

This one started out good as a sleepy Oklahoma a town during the dust bowl years of the great depression. All the characters are interesting enough and the pacing seemed good, if a bit slow. As things pick up and murders start to happen, it goes off the rails a bit. Then, the ending comes out of nowhere and feels super rushed. Still not sure why anybody did anything and what any of it all means.
Review of advance copy received from Indie Reviewers
OK this gave me a 'Carnivàle' TV series vibe.
A gritty, pulpy tale of dust storms and serial killer in the 1930s by J.G. Jones, and I devoured it.
I'll admit I saw the man behind the gas mask murder coming, but still a nice twist of two late as well.
The generally sepia-inspired art by James Harren and Dave Stewart is ideal for this one too.

It had some of the elements that I love to see, but was not as good as I hoped. The dustbowl setup, small town America, sheriff with backstory, art that also looks like it is laden with dust are all good. But the villain and what he does, and why he does what he does did not make complete sense in the world of the story. The twist felt pulled out from a hat.
Review of advance copy
Great art but narratively it’s all over the place
It’s jumps so much from scene to scene that it becomes difficult to easily follow, which takes the reader out of the story. The structure of it is quite jarring at times and flows badly

Great art and super evocative, but sadly it doesn't redeem a story full of plot holes.
