This comic is amazing. It's a story I wish I had thought of writing myself, to be honest. I'm a huge fan of western/horror/dark fantasy blends and this captures the best of that mix. The art by Brian Hurtt is beyond awesome. It draws you in, just as much as the writing. And the writing, especially the 'narration'? So fucking quotable. This volume introduces some voodoo. Well, a lot of voodoo. Much voodoo, very awesome, so fun, or however that stupid meme goes. In a nutshell, more bad ass storytelling is good for the soul. Scattered across the Old West are six magical guns. Each has a mystical power and is bound to its owner for life, unwilling to fire for another. The Sixth Gun follows Drake, an former villain on a quest to find the guns before people who’re even worse do. He inadvertently teams up with Clarissa, daughter of a man who was guarding one of the six to hide it from the malevolent forces that are coming for them.Vol 2 finds Drake seeking mystics who can tell him how to destroy the guns. Clarissa has come along for the ride, but there’s animosity between them and she’s got her own ideas about how to proceed. Plus, it seems to be the first time she’s off the farm and she’s finding her way as an adult. There’s an obligatory visit to the swamps of New Orleans, and a giant crocodile. Plus, we get the first glimpses of the larger story and menace facing the characters and, perhaps, the whole world.
What do You think about A La Croisée Des Chemins (2014)?
One of my favourite comics and currently the only one i get every month.

The action moves to New Orleans for some swamp-stompin voodoo fun.
