Review: Go West #3

By Sam King

Go West #3 is the final issue in a three issue limited series published by Alterna Comics. While the first two issues were decent setup, the third act and finale fails to feel all that satisfying. The violence level is the same level of intensity and awesome, but story wise… you’re basically just getting a generic western in comic form. The futuristic element doesn’t do much for the story.

Review: Go West #2

By Sam King

Go West is kind of like a blend of Jonah Hex and John Wick, but set in a post-apocalyptic future. It's supposed to be dangerous like the Old West but as a result of a barren landscape created by a war in modern times. Arthur Slade has a dark past in which he killed people and made money, similar to Jonah Hex, with his face scarred to boot (an occupational marker no doubt), but with a personal vendetta involving family and revenge like John Wick.

Review: Go West #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Listen, for $1.50 no matter what I say; you should just check out this issue. No that said, this isn’t the best first issue. There’s a lot of effort put into this issue, and there are some decent action sequences to enjoy. It's just unfortunate that so much of the issue is spent narrating something that the artwork is able to convey in only a few pages.

025 - This week on the show it's all about the first issues again. Yeah, there were just too many first issues to ignore and not enough returning crap that I read. There's also a manga pick so enjoy that one person who listens and likes both comics and manga. You know who you are, I don't, but you do.
