Reviews

[Matt Piechocinski · Rating 3 out of 5]

Probably the best of the 4 Desperadoes trades I've read.

[Timo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as the previous one but still good.
Sadly, no Cassaday art.

[Little Timmy · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's hard to combine odd story lines, like a western and supernatural, but this comic series does it very well. Very good art and great story make this an enjoyable read. Very recommended.
