I have a soft spot for the Weird Western Genre, having actually wrote novels in the genre myself. That being said, this is still a very interesting collection. You have a little bit of everything: Ghosts, Aliens, Monsters, etc. I've never understood why Weird Westerns arent more popular, just because to me melding Westerns with horror and sci fi elements seems so natural. This volume has several stories, and of course some are better than others. Overall it's very enjoyable with several different art styles, and also several different story types.

I would recommend this to any fan of the Weird Western genre for sure. Really, anyone who likes Horror Comics will probably find something to like in this volume as well.

It was a little uneven, both in terms of the stories and the artwork, but I suppose this is what you would expect from an anthology. I liked some of the stories, but overall I'd like to see stronger stories to move it to 4 stars. And to get to 5 stars....the art would have to be consistently good.

Few good plots, but ain't that deep and meaningful.

I only read a snippet of this so thats why its under did not finish. I think its pretty good and will look to be reading the rest in the future.

The stories and art work were uneven. Some were interesting and attractive others not so much.
