Haeman: Takin' The Reigns

by Richard Davidson, Coferosa (Illustrator)

In the quiet frontier town of Pinedale, railway tycoon Lincoln has taken control, running riot and bleeding the people dry with the strong arm brutality of his hired thugs. When a local gunsmith dares to stand against him he faces a fate far worse than death.

Left for dead and a victim of an ancient Indian ritual gone wrong, Fields returns from the barren wilderness to wreak havoc upon those responsible.

A Western tale of sorcery and revenge that will shake the Wild West to its very core.

[Andy Luke · Rating 3 out of 5]

Davidson and Young's supernatural western lets illustrator Coferosa free to establish a world of sulphur and gravel and pistol flashes of terrifying things: dialogue is sparse, the use of space reflecting the worlds-apart edginess they want to show and it works its magics. It loses prestige for the revenge narrative - I guess these are all typical -for what it is, it's a visually satisfying read and might serve as a lesson to other would-be comics scripters and illustrators.
