  Overall, this is a short anthology, but it works. I'd rather have a fun anthology to read rather than a large one with several stories I'm not interested in. If you read the first two issues then definitely pick up the third issue, if anything just to see the continuation of the third story. But if you like anthologies then this is a well put together one for you to check out. Read Full Review

  This is an absurd little heist tale in which the local colour decides to save their wild west town from the evil casino. The absurdity and colour comes from town saviours who are drawn from the local bar and they are, well, a bit nuts. Sprechers art matches the characters quite well, with an old school Loony Tunes cartoon quality. The tale is told by skipping backwards and forwards in time, with the differentiation made by different panel edgings. Its a helpful technique as otherwise the jumps could be confusing. The final panel sums up the tractable nature of humanity beautifully. Its a good fun tale. Not the best of the issue, but an amusing start. Read Full Review
