'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).
