The main question for fans of Ennis would be how does this measure up to his best work? Does it hit the heights of Preacher? The answer is no, however, this does in no way mean this is not worth a read. In fact the comic serves its purpose quite well and that purpose is entertainment. This may not be Ennis at his most thought provoking but its Ennis having fun with genre material. Genre material which in Ennis hands never feels cliched or outdated.

Although this issue is not a masterpiece or a classic but there is very little to hate. The exposition can be a bit clunky at times but is industry standard for the comic book medium. However, this be deal breakfor what is a well-drawn and well told story.
