Title: Disappointing
Product review: When I first clapped eyes on the beautiful (supposed) cover by Eric Powell, I was sold. I'm a big fan of Westerns and of Powell's artwork and sense of humor, so this seemed like an easy sell.The first bit of disappointment hit when I received the book. The cover was not the Powell cover that Amazon shows. Instead it was done by a different artist. This development lead quickly to more disappointment as I found that all of the art was done by this same guy. Now, he's not a terrible artist or anything, but I would have much rather seen Powell's art carry the story. I didn't care for the actual artist's style much.More disappointment came when I found that the story had none of the Powell humor I came to love by reading his Goon series. And with a name like Billy the Kid's Old-Timey Oddities, you expect a bit of that humor.I quickly turned around and sold the book to someone else, so no harm done. But I'd love to see Powell tackle a Western-themed book all by himself.
