Midnight Western Theatre is a high idea done right. as well as that idea is “vampires in the old West”. (The writer phone calls it “goth cowboys”.)
Red Tom as well as his gang have taken over a town as well as are kicking back in the saloon when two strangers come to town. (They’re the ones shown on the cover.) The tables turn on Tom when he tries to frighten them off.
It’s written by Louis Southard as well as illustrated by David Hahn, an old preferred of mine. The cover is by Kalman Andrasofszky.
I like the strangers. The woman, Ortensia, doesn’t care about much of anything. The guy, Alexander, is a fussy aristocrat who complains when people keep shooting him. (Hahn’s smooth-line style works especially well to make him look just a bit alien.) The styles are clever, as well as I want to cosplay them. I want to spend a great deal more time with these two.
That leads into my quibbles with the issue. Time is spent showing us the poor guy being bad, which isn’t truly necessary, since all of us understand what “head of a villain gang” means in this type of story. There’s likewise a twenty-year-prior opening that means starting momentum for the visitor is delayed. That’s the type of thing that will make more sense in the eventual collection however feels like space-filling in this short single issue, which is mainly a shootout that serves as a character introduction.
Give me more with our leads! pack in the story to make the comic a much better deal! (This is my tiredness with the single-issue style showing itself.) Anyway, if the tee shirts styles were much better (they should be black, for one thing), I’d get one already.
Issue #1 is out this week. problem #2 is offered to order now from your regional comic shop with diamond code APR21 1893. (The publisher provided a digital evaluation copy.)
