All Star Western #1 W: Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti A: Moritat
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I
was buying Jonah Hex up till the end, and for one simple reason - it
was the most consistently good books that DC were publishing. And so it
is with All Star Western, which is the same book retitled, for better or
worse. As before, the artists rotate with each minor storyline but the
writing core is constant.
So, to the plot.Gotham By Gaslight.
I'm
being unfair. But it's not hard to draw comparisons, especially
(arguably) as Gotham By Gaslight was retconned out of Elseworlds and
into the DCU during Countdown.
Putting that aside, this is as well
written as ever and is thoroughly recommended to all. The relationship
between Amadeus Arkham and Jonah is superbly done and if this panel
isn't leading up to a Lovecraftian reveal in future weeks I will be
really disappointed:
It's
not all future seeding either, the plot actually in the issue in hand
bowls along splendidly and damn, if this isn't the most thrilling panel
all week:
See you next time. You should be reading this book (but then you should have been reading it before).
