3.0
A fun volume, that makes a neat little expansion to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The story isn't tremendously difficult to follow, but sometimes moments of action get muddled. This graphic novel is inspired by a classic in film - a visual medium - and can't quite consistently translate the action to another visual medium.
The other thing is that this book brings the slightest insight into the Man with No Name and where he comes from, which I'm not entirely sure I wanted to see, since Blondie/the Man with No Name is a character built around the mystery of who he is and where he comes from. This insight isn't huge, and it won't change the way you enjoy the Dollars trilogy, but I've always felt that the lass we know about Blondie, the better.
That being said, the firefights are mostly good, the villain is interesting, and the art is good. A good read if you're a fan of the film.
