The story, however, is steeped in North American history and has more in common with Last of the Mohicans than the tale of those three goofball cherubs straight out of Boneville.

This handsome volume from Oni Press does a fine job of presenting Chantler's two-fisted Canadian western. The production values are fantastic and the thirty pages of annotations make for interesting reading while waiting for the next volume to arrive.

While the characters are often broadly drawn, Chantler hits enough high notes to provide an entertaining and engaging read. As far as the visuals go, Chantler is really at the top of his game with strong, dynamic illustrations that will appeal to readers of all ages. ]]>
