Caliber #3
Caliber: First Canon of Justice #3
After gunning down Talbot's men, Arthur has fled Telacoma with Whitefeather in search of help and safe haven. Talbot has placed a price on Arthur’s head and sent every hired gun possible to hunt him down, but after weeks, there has still been no success. Now, Talbot has taken the matter into his own hands, finally resorting to the services of a man widely known for his quick draw and deadly Lance Lake. With Lance on their trail, it may be only a matter of time before Arthur and Whitefeather are laid to rest in the cold, white blanket of the snowy Telacoma countryside. With the odds clearly stacked against them, do Arthur and Whitefeather stand a chance against Lance Lake and Talbot’s fury?

In this third issue, Arthur meets Lancelot and gets reunited with Guinevere. I really enjoyed Lancelot's introduction, but I felt like the pacing was off, the meet up was so quick.
Other generic things about this series of comics: it cringely falls into two big stereotypes (especially in western stories). Of course, not all stereotypes are bad, cliche can be lovely, but this time it's not good:
Merlin (or the character who is supposedly Merlin) directly falls into the "Magical Native American", and he appears as one because Arthur and the other characters are not Native American. This could have probably been better if the story had been focused on Arthur being Native American and fighting for justice. Instead we have Merlin being the on Native American main character who is the magical/spiritual helper of Arthur.
The second stereotype is "all the women fall into bad situations and ends up at the saloon", also there are two female characters but have zero characterization. Not only that, but they appear ridiculously polished and eternally beautiful, I am not sure how to describe it, it's almost like the men are in a comic, but some scenes with the women looks like out of a soap opera.

Better Coalescence, Nice Art, Action, Still Choppy
People and events are starting to come together a bit better in this third release. A strengthening of all we learned so far leads to a curious effect on the story's supernatural weapon. The episode has a lot of searching with mixed results, plotting, but also some zesty events as well.
Artwork is very solid with dramatic lighting, detail, and full of colour where appropriate. Storytelling seems to stumble yet again as from frame to frame there's the feeling of gaps in transitions. Still, neat take on a classic tale and a rare moment where I have any interest in a Western.
