The code is "Howdy"
When a race of concquering aliens decides to invade the earth of the WIld West, it's up to warring cowboys and indians to save Earth.
The Good:
- The concept. It's highly original. It's very well done. It's really good. All in all, I am very impressed by the story and the concept of the book.
- The aliens, the cowboys and the natives distinct ways of talking. It makes their respective factions and their entire world much more believable. Even though this book is wildly historically inaccurate, it feels like something that might have happened in the realm of "historical comic books".
- The book explains almost nothing. Like, who is the House of Dar? What is that metal? Where are the invaders actually from? And the lack of explanation makes it feel like a genuine experience. Because what use would a great deal of explanation be to a story that works perfectly fine without it?
The Bad:
- There's really only one thing that I didn't like about it. And that's the art. It's right on par with bad webcomics. It's just not good.
The Verdict:
Yeah, I totalyl read this book because there's a movie coming out. I can't tell you whether or not it's better than the movie, because I haven't seen that yet, but it's a rather enjoyable comic book. It's got what I actually miss in many other comic books: It's outlandish and the creative team is having fun with it. And if you like a bit of inconsequential fun in comic book form, go for it.
