Brimstone
With his dying breath, an Indian Shaman unleashes an ancient curse upon his murderers, the miners of Brimstone, and the richest gold stake ever found in the High Sierras. A week later, the town is overrun and its communication lines cut. With all the honest men fighting the Civil War, the desperate mining investors put together a collection of outlaws, killers and thieves to re-take Brimstone ... by any means necessary. Led by "The Viper," a brooding gunslinger whose brutal exploits are the stuff of Western legend, the vicious posse finds the bullet-ridden town littered with dismembered corpses but its gold stores untouched. In Brimstone, the most feared men in the West have finally found the very heart of fear.

Wuhu! I am the first to review this. Ok, lets get to it.
This is a horror comics book. Firstly to answer your most obvious question, yes, its a good one. I would recommend it if you like your comics gory and bloody. So obviously, don't let any kids near this:)
The whole thing is happening somewhere in wild west in era of civil war and gold fever. It all starts when bunch of guys try to buy Indian land to mine gold there. So they try to negotiate the price with their shaman. He refuses saying that there are 'unsettled spirits' there and not to touch a pebble.
They kill him and take their land and end up with more than they bargained for. A nice Indian curse.
It wakes the dead and transforms them into dark spirits who roam the night. They guard the gold and eat the living, and quickly end up killing the mining town. As there is a civil war going on, the authorities cant call the army, so they hire mercenaries. And thus our story begins.
I bet they where sorry for not listening to that shaman in the first place.

Brimstone... When I saw this and it involves monsters and mines I thought, well isn't this connected with the boardgame I own and love called Shadows of Brimstone? Well, I couldn't find anything saying that it is BUT it is. You've got a pose of 6 guys and are attacked by vampires/undead, then a female characters appears to give some tension and so on. Of course your first thought - well lets go away BUT unfortunately there is gold involved and they want the money...
Things and the monsters are not all as it seems and there are some twists but overall it was what expect and the survivors are the ones I thought they were going to be.
Advisable? No - UNLESS you play shadows of brimstone the boardgame. Then I would highly advise because you get a lot of the vibes.

7 issue mini-series from Zenescope. Not very good. The premise is, but the execution, the writing, the art, all not very good.
