\"\"<\/a>The Wicked West<\/span><\/a><\/b> is like a Reese’s Cup<\/b>. <\/span><\/div>\n

A Reese’s Cup <\/b> combines peanut butter<\/b> and chocolate<\/b> which by themselves are great<\/b>, but together are even better<\/b>! <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Well… that’s what The Wicked West<\/b> is like. Writers, Todd Livingston<\/b> and Robert Tinnell<\/b> have teamed with artist, Neil Vokes<\/b> to bring us a horror story<\/b> wrapped in a western<\/b>.<\/p>\n

I’d been looking forward to <\/span>The Wicked West <\/b>since I first heard the tagline: <\/span>Suppose Josey Wales rode into Salem’s Lot<\/b>. Man, that is the <\/span>best pitch<\/b> I’ve heard for <\/span>any<\/u> movie, comic, book<\/b> or<\/span> tv<\/b> show<\/b> in years.<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>The cool thing is that<\/span> Vokes, Livingston<\/b> and <\/span>Tinnell<\/b> lived up\u00a0<\/span>to the tag line! They created an <\/span>ambitious story<\/b> which not allows us to see “what really happened” in <\/span>1870<\/b> when <\/span>Cotton Coleridge <\/b>rode into a town under siege by <\/span>vampires<\/b> but also how the story was adapted to the <\/span>“silver screen”<\/b> for a <\/span>“singing cowboy”<\/b> movie in the <\/span>1930’s<\/b>. <\/span>The art and story<\/b> mesh perfectly.\u00a0 I think that anyone who is a fan of westerns, horror<\/b> or simply great graphic novels<\/b> would love The Wicked West<\/b>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Neil<\/b> said that he had a blast drawing The Wicked West<\/a><\/b> and it shows. I know I had a blast reading it, and like after eating one Resse’s Cup<\/b>, it left me happy, but ready for another!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
