The Enfield Gang Massacre #2

If issue 1 had you on the fence then issue 2 will pull you head first into the deep end. This duo is at the top of their game in this issue putting on a clinic of storytelling. Read Full Review

The Enfield Gange Massacre #2 is yet another perfect issue in the long line of excellent stories springing from Ambrose County. The spinoff has made clear that the book is interested in doing more than just recounting a reference made in the backmatter of That Texas Blood, instead taking the ethos of the main series and applying it to the forefather of the neo-noir western series. The scripting from Condon reads like a lit stick of dynamite, utilizing a burning wick to speed up the internal tempo of the story. That paired with Phillipss dynamic, echoing layouts and dueling coloring creates a dissonance of craft that cant help but enthrall the reader from page one. Condon and Phillips top themselves with issue two, and make evident there are still bullets in the chamber for the story going forward. Read Full Review

All in all, this was a great comic to read. I entered thinking that it would be a boring cowboy story but ended up loving every second of it. Oh, and before I forget, the covers are truly exceptional! They remind me of Norman Rockwell's illustrations but with more blood and gore. Read Full Review

If you are a fan of action – particularly the Old West variety with shootouts in saloons – this is the book for you. It takes the traditional lawman vs. villain story and turns it on its head, which makes for a great read. Read Full Review

THE ENFIELD GANG MASSACRE #2 amps up the violence, death, and tension for a brisk but satisfying fight for survival in the middle of the night. Condon keeps readers on the edge of their seats non-stop, and Phillipss brutal art is phenomenal. Read Full Review

Phillips' lineart is at its most vicious yet, helping craft this story into a beautifully brutal Western. Read Full Review

I didn't like this as much as the first one. There's not really anything wrong with it. Just didn't feel that exciting.
