Got my hands on issue #1 of THE PISTOLEERS this week. i got it because the creator, Dan Nokes was kind enough to send me a copy. Seems he was looking to shift gears after all of his work on THE PARANORMALS, so we go from the strange and supernatural to the wild west.
The story reads like a biography starting back in the civil war. We meet the Marcus family and see the details surrounding their adoption of a freed slave boy named Elijah. We then get bumped ahead to see the Marcus brothers now as adults visiting their father who had moved to a small town in Arizona. The story heats up when we discover old enemies with a score to settle with the Marcus family have decided to settle accounts.
Dan Nokes is, above all, a storyteller. He doesn't hit the readers over the head with an overwhelming amount of facts. He gives them interesting characters for the reader to cheer for and to guide them through the narrative. It's easy to simply fall into the story being pulled in by Nokes's always expressive faces and riding through the action and twists he gives us.
Give it a look, when you're looking for something different and cool.
