annnnnd I’m back.
Recently I got a chance to read a online comic via Zuda called High Moon.
High Moon summed up: Gunslingers+Werewolves = Awesome.
Now I am a cynical bastard when it comes to westerns, supernatural ones or otherwise. I have TRIED to like Jonah Hex and numerous other tales involving outlaws of the west but the stuff just never sticks with me. High Moon, however, is written in such a way as to draw readers like me in regardless. Gallaher has a Mignola-esque feel to his storytelling, the sort of…old pulp storytelling brought into modern times…I guess that’s the best way I know how to put it. Adding to Gallaher’s brand of storytelling is the masterful penciling by Steve Ellis. Throughout all 182 pages of the series Ellis provides a perfect balance to Gallaher’s tales, emphasizing frenetic action well and gruesome scenes with sometimes intricate detail. Even in simple character illustrations Ellis brings his A game to the penciling (when you see Raven towards the end, you’ll know what I am talking about)
All three volumes of the series are available currently online for free, and Gallaher’s writing paired with Steve Ellis’ amazing artwork is something you really should not miss, plus again..it’s free, what have you got to lose. I mean heck I read thru all 182 pages in less then half an hour and I am ADD half the time, if that doesn’t tell you its good I don’t know what will.
