Review: While I did enjoy Marshall Rogers’ art, I
really can’t say too much about Steve Englehart’s story.
Nothing really happened. The supplement at the end of the
book which told the story of the man called Gunhawk’s quick
draw skills, while not exactly thrilling, was still at least
more enjoyable than the main story. For fans though, there
are a few retro western stories, done by Stan Lee and Jack
Kirby. That in itself may interest some of you in picking it
up. You may just want to skip past the main story.
Special thanks go out to Jeremy Shorr, owner of
Titan Comics for allowing us to use his advance
preview books for review purposes.
