Plot
Lucas and Katherine Fuller were about to celebrate their daughter Josie's twelfth birthday when they were approached by Andrew McGeary and his friends, all of them drunk. Andrew is the son of the most important landowner in the area and believes himself above the law. They murder Lucas and Katherine in front of Josie. Andrew's father, Robert, tried to hide this tragedy, but Josie managed to get revenge.

Just as Josie was about to be taken to trial, a guardian angel named Ethan arrives. A veteran gunman, he saves her from this tragic end. Ethan and Josie's lives are more connected than you think, and the two embark on an deadly adventure.

This story is Mike Richardson's love letter to spaghetti westerns, where the centerpiece is the search for redemption within family, which is easy to identify with and move with. It's a mix of Unforgiven and Man on Fire, with shootouts, chases, and rides into the sunset of that Wild West where the law is ruled by the fastest draw.


Art
With textures, details, and a sepia tone, it transports you to that ancient, distant era. The lighting and shadows make you feel the scorching sun of those wastelands, immersing you in this story that I hope will one day be adapted into another medium. Jordi Armengol's recommendation couldn't be more accurate, and it's a must-read graphic novel with Ennio Morricone's music playing in the background.
