I could talk about how the creative team have acquitted themselves here, but you know what I would say. So, I'll just finish with this. Azzarello and Risso are seasoned creators, and they do what they do well in starting a series that's one part Spaghetti Western and another part The Postman Always Rings Twice. Brother Lono doesn't quite signal a coup for the pair, but another entry in the career of a creative pairing with this degree of command over the genres they choose to work in is always welcome.

Azzarello tackles one of the most volatile combinations in humanity"religion and sin"and manages to render a compelling portrait, which grasps at some kind of truth about faith in the real world. His plot could use greater definition, however. Read Full Review
Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso bring the aftermath of Lono's story to life. Although the first two issues are mostly setup pieces, it is slowly building up towards a confrontation between Lono and the Twin Towers in Durango. I look forward to Lono's character development as the story continues. However, even with the revival of Vertigo in DC Comics, it remains to be seen if any other surviving 100 Bullets characters will show up in this spin-off. Read Full Review
Eduardo Risso's artwork is terrific as always, but its Patricia Mulvihill's colors that make the book feel alternately steamy hot, cool, and spooky. Read Full Review
