Go West #1

GO WEST #1is a solid debut issue from top to bottom. Gunn has a unique story on his hands. A futuristic western depicting a land which could quite possibly be the destiny of America today. It's The Outlaw Josey WalesmeetsStephen King's The Dark Tower. There is a lot of potential and possibilities and it'll be interesting where Gunn takes us next. The artwork is just as pivotal to Go West as is the writing. If both stay on point and deliver each forthcoming issue, this will be a lasting series and a huge win for Alterna Comics.

The theme of the old west is captured perfectly. The art really compliments the story and vice versa. These guys make a great team and based on the dialogue and theme I believe there is quite a tale that is being spun that I hope will be ongoing! Read Full Review

Overall, this is good comic book that is exciting and violent while also being dramatic. This first issue is a fun read and may really draw some people into the series especially if you like violent comic book westerns. Read Full Review

Yes, for the most part, this is just a typical revenge story of a man seeking vengeance for his family, but there are a few elements that set it apart. It's a quick read with skilled artwork. Perhaps the next issues will have more western elements, but there are a few classic western scenes in this first issue to enjoy. It's not revolutionizing the genre, but for under two dollars its an entertaining read worth picking up. Read Full Review

Superheroes for Hire

Competently made, and the art is decent, but this is not my jam. The story is one I've seen a million times - old grizzled killer is brought back into the business after his family is killed. This is only $1.50, so it's not a terrible read for the price.
