Stray Bullets reviewed at Forbidden Planet
Richard Bruton has reviewed West: Stray Bullets over at the Forbidden Planet blog.
Of the script, Richard says:
“Cheverton’s stories, as usual, are a clever and perplexing mix of interesting clues to the mystery of West, wrapped up in some great storytelling… Every time a new issue comes out, I can’t help but go right back to the beginning and find even more connections, more little elements that go to prove how tightly Cheverton has the entire saga mapped out.”
Richard seemed to (eventually) enjoy the guest artists, too:
“Each artist brings something different to their tales, and they’ve been picked well for the stories they have to tell; whether it’s the beautiful scratchiness of Warwick Johnson Cadwell on a bizarre jail-break for West, the more cartoon style of Rainey giving a comedic touch to the monster in Badwater Lake, or the simpler, more romantic imagery of Jenika Ioffreda on a very early West tale, of childhood sweethearts Joe and Eloise.
“Of them all though, it was Emma Price’s art that got me going the most – possibly because it was, in a rather simpler and heavier inked sense, the most like Keable’s and suited the story of West very well. “

“I’ve got a story.”
From the lakes of Montana to the eastern hills of Kansas, the grassy plains of Oregon and ancient mountains of Minnesota to the icy backwoods of Colorado, men gather their stories.
“Doubt you’ll have heard it before.”
From the depths of Badwater Lake to the heights of Fort Eyrie, from the glamourous Midsummer Ball to the dangerous Durango’s Bar, and stories of Bad Dollars and Blood.
“Heard a lot of tales. Some might even be true.”
Written by Andrew Cheverton and illustrated by Jenika Ioffreda, Emma Price, Warwick Johnson Cadwell, Paul Rainey, Tim Keable, and Andrew Cheverton.
Debuting at the Bristol International Comic & Small Press Expo, 14th-15th of May. Six stories, six artists; 32 pages for £3.50.
Stray Bullets. One shot is all it takes.
Childhood sweethearts Joe and Eloise are at the Governor’s mansion; to the delighted - and envious - eyes of all around them, they take to the dance floor, at the… Midsummer Ball.
By Andrew Cheverton & Jenika Ioffreda, from the upcoming West: Stray Bullets.
