CHAPTER 3: THE TRAP
1899: Everyone keeps telling NETTIE BRIDGER that the frozen West is no place for a respectable lady. Lucky for her, she's neither. She's seen with her own eyes the impossible devils haunting the forests around BROKEHOOF, but the terror has only hardened her resolve.
She WILL find her missing son, whatever the cost. But avarice and starvation make desperate men deadlier than monsters, and the wealth of this hungry land may prove just as illusory as Nettie's fading hope.
The Rush #3 provides readers plenty to consider and proves itself one of Vault's best. Read Full Review
This is a series that I have somehow managed to sleep on for the first three issues – a mistake I am in the process of fixing. If you are already reading this series then I assume Im preaching to the choir, but if like me youve missed out on the first couple of issues, then you really need to get on board as the tension and horror seem to be ramping up and this could be another epic horror from Vault when alls said and done.

I continue to really like the setting and the cast of characters that we get here as the intriguing story holds a lot of potential as it unfolds more. The visual design is great as we see some people that are really down on their luck and others that are scheming and plotting, all while putting a seemingly proper lady into the mix. Spurrier's script has a few slow moments with some of the letter material that can be hard to read with the script, but the dialogue is strong and Gooden's artwork really delivers some fantastic pages throughout. I can't wait to see more of whatthere is to explore in this time and place in the world. Read Full Review
Fantastic, the art is so good, and the writing top notch.
Spurrier continues to have a wonderful ear for dialogue here, as he's writing one of the most realistic sounding westerns I've read in the medium. The plot is a bit of a slow drip, as the creative team aims more at building up the tension slowly. It's been really effective at lending the book an eerie tone that makes the big reveals, like this issue's moose dripping liquid gold from it's mouth and eyes, really shine.
