The Big Country #[nn]

A lone sheriff stands gun drawn against a sun-bleached Texas landscape, a bullet-riddled state flag snapping in the wind behind him — it's an image that immediately signals tension, dust, and unfinished business. Peeples, Calero, and Robertson bring a lean, sun-scorched Western noir sensibility to this Humanoids Originals title, and the cover alone sets a mood as wide and unforgiving as the open plains stretching to the horizon. If you've been looking for a contemporary comics Western with a gritty, cinematic feel, The Big Country makes a compelling first impression in 2019.
