'All-Star Western' #7 cited for "crazy western action"

The mini-review of ALL-STAR WESTERN #7 found at KOKOMO PERSPECTIVE notes with glee the issue's "crazy western action." When you think about it, with the exception of certain experimental/existential examples in the genre, isn't that what westerns are all about? (Well, that and general manliness and suchlike.)

Gunslingin' heroes Nighthawk and Cinnamon return in 'All-Star Western'

Pencils by Patrick Scherberger with inks by Dan Green and Terry Austin.

It was love at first sight, a love baptized in gunsmoke and an unquenchable thirst for justice. Separately they were dangerous, but together they became the most feared outlaw hunters east and west of the Mississippi. They were...Nighthawk and Cinnamon! And they're back from comics limbo in ALL-STAR WESTERN #7, as guests in the book's lead Jonah Hex chapter and also in the first installment of their own ongoing backup story (written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, with art by penciler Patrick Scherberger and inks by comics legends Dan Green and Terry Austin).

ALL-STAR WESTERN #7 is in stores today, so what are you waiting for? Here are the particulars:

But he and Amadeus Arkham find New Orleans under attack by the August 7, a group of anti-immigrant, steampunk terrorists.

More on 'All-Star Western' #6 at iFanboy

iFanboy cites ALL-STAR WESTERN #6 in its weekly recap of "The Best of the Week in Panels," but I won't spoil their choice by posting it on this blog. Nope, you've gotta go here and scroll down to see it...

iFanboy gives 'All-Star Western' #6 some thoughtful criticism...

iFANBOY examines the latest issue of ALL-STAR WESTERN and makes a few pointed criticisms, but still grants the art a 4 and the story a 5, with the top possible score in both categories being a 5, so that's nothing to sneeze at. Head here to peep the points made.

Comic Vine weighs in on 'All-Star Western" #6

One of the many cool things about the COMIC VINE site is their division of its critiques into simply "The Good," "The Bad" and "The Verdict," which conveniently allows you to waste no time in finding out whether the comic you're curious about is a load of crap or not. Let's just say that their opinion this time around falls squarely into the "not" camp, so head here to get the skinny. Oh, and there's more kudos for THE BARBARY GHOST, so if you dig the character and her quest for vengeance, let DC hear your voice. You're the fans, dammit, and you're the ones making them all that money, so don't be afraid to speak up in favor of comics that don't suck!
