Bounty-hunter Matthew Macgregor investigates a series of strange happenings in the dusty Texas town of Blest where drought has brought famine and hardship to most of the town and surrounding ranches.
Unfortunately, that's the least of the town's worries! While the summer heat pushes the mercury toward further unbearable degrees during the day, the nights are haunted by strange unnatural creatures roaming the darkness. Macgregor, a former Pinkerton agent, seeks to uncover the town's dark secrets and tries desperately to keep his own past steeped in witchcraft and the supernatural hidden. At sundown... they'll be a showdown at High Moon.
Review
So I'm a western lover and also one for monster fights so put them together and I'm sure in for a fun night of reading. This graphic novel wasn't one of my favourite reads but to be fair it wasn't that bad.
I enjoyed the art which did a great job at setting the time period and keeping to the western cowboy feel in the story, even if it does steer away from original cowboy stories and throw in the supernatural fighting.
I felt the story could have been reigned in a little as I was at some points not sure what was going on and that with the lead character shifting halfway (which was a strong move which was worth going for) it led to some instability in reading.
Overall it was a pretty good read, as long as you don't mind pushing through some confusion.
