Curious Remix of an Old Classic
Mistakenly I read the cover as "Excalibur" but I think this blurring of identity was intentional. With the lettering and cover design, we have a very similar theme to the Arthurian story. Throw in a Native American as the 'lady of the lake' and a cowboy as the upcoming king and there ya go for a backbone to this fantasy Western. With this thought in mind, scene setting and the fleshing out of nuances do make this retelling interesting. Was I entertained? Yes. Was the story enough of a departure to make me want to read more? Yes. Was the artwork well done? Yes. Despite the lack of complete originality (a difficult feat these days) and somewhat disconnected scenes at times, I'm interested in reading more.

This was an absolutely stunningly illustrated comic. Very realistic and beautiful illustrations.
The story is clever, intriguing, and ended far too soon. I loved this Issue and can't wait to read more. It reminded me a little bit of Wynonna Earp, in a way - with the whole "gun meant for one person" idea, etc. It was still very original, despite the feeling of similarities.

The panels didn't line up in overdrive and I had to keep resetting the reading settings trying to read all of the panels. I got too frustrated. I'm almost sure the comic is at least decent but since I can't actually read all of the words...I won't say that.

Artwork is really good. But why is a Native American Shaman looking for a white person to save him?

Excellent artwork that services a story skillfully blending several genres.
