In this dueling narrative of two different sins over time, we witness an 1880s origin story of the Black Hammer cult cowboy known as the Horseless Rider and a 1950s southwestern rest home where the staff is immoral and vengeance is waiting in the shadows.

Snyder and Rubn are well matched here. The story on the surface absolutely works and is satisfying on its own, but they both scattered details in their work that prompt questions, making for a reread that's richer than the first. Read Full Review
As with other entries in this anthology, this book neither really adds or detracts from the primary Black Hammer storyline. It does, however, finally lay some groundwork for the Horseless Rider, giving a character we may or may not see again some time to shine. Read Full Review

I’ll read anything David Rubin is doing the art on because his books always look spectacular. Really cool seeing him do something more Old West here compared to his normal sci-fi, Kirby-influenced work. The gold colors stood out brilliantly against the otherwise muted tones and Snyder’s Horseless Rider has a lot of potential as an addition to the Black Hammer-verse.
