"Take nothing with you, but two mules, a rifle, and ten bullets." Those words echo in ex-surgeon Frank Quinn's head as he flees across mid-19th century America to escape the demon known as Thousand Faces, an evil entity that uses blood to enslave others and will stop at nothing to conquer the world.
Moral decay affects the characters throughout the tale, sparing few men and even grabbing a few supposedly innocent animals in its clutches. While the art is undoubtedly beautiful and the characters carefully developed, at times it can feel more like an overly drawn-out campfire story than the sweeping epic it aspires to be. Brilliant colors and textures make sure our imaginations don't shy too far away from the brutal realities of death, but the excitement level is paced closer to that of Quinn's mule than the chief's prized mustang.
