Maybe more of a 2.5. The concept is interesting and the art is good, but some elements of the plot seem a little "paint-by-numbers" and that lack of originality makes the story a little less compelling.

So much fun! I really appreciate that although the writer is a man, the artist is a woman, and her beautiful art doesn’t sexualize and objectify the female characters the way many comics unfortunately do. Wynonna and Valdez even get to be obviously muscular, which is pretty awesome. Great to get more of the characters I love from the show, although I’m sad there’s no Wayhaught in this volume. I also really liked writer Beau Smith’s essay about his experience visiting the set of the Wynonna Earp TV show and seeing his creation come to life, which is included in the back of this edition. I love everything Wynonna Earp, and this reminds me how much I need to buy and watch season 2, ASAP. Darn not having cable TV and being unable to watch when it first aired! Oh well!

Homecoming!!! First things first: I received this book through NetGalley.
The Volume comes out in october 25 (two days after my birthday, if anyone wants to buy me something. LOL)
 
I love this comic. Normally I just blow through them but this time I decided to take my time with it and I am so glad I did. Also I haven't seen the show yet, and really need to get on it.
 
I seriously love everything about this. The characters (I love them all), Wynonna is my new favorite person right now, are all just really great and fun. The setting, the whole concept of the story, love it. The art was really great too.
 
I highley recommend it!!!

I expected that this book would not be my sort of thing, and it wasn't. My daughter's obsession with the TV show was the only reason I picked it up. The dialog feels tuned for children/YA, yet the book is "Suggested for Mature Readers" (there's lots of gore). The jokes are awfully cheesy. The art is pretty good... fine... ok. There's one chapter with better art drawn by a different artist, with good panel compositions, more 'realistic' (less cartoonish) expressions, and fine and careful inking. The book doesn't explain which artist drew which chapters, but it appears to be by Chris Evenhuis, whereas the 'normal' artist for the majority of the book is Lora Innes.

A curious zombie and Western series crossover. The storyline wasn't too derivative and went in some unexpected directions.

I forgot how much I missed this series/show/fandom/overall badassery! Wynonna's got her wit and her sarcasm is on level 💯 and I. am. here. for. it!!
Unfortunately there's no Waverly or Nicole (yet) but I'm holding out hope for the next volume.
Also I'm genuinely considering starting a petition for Valdez to be added as a character to the show. She's too AWESOME for us to be missing out on!
Overall an amazing volume/ comics.

I picked this up issue-by-issue because I was a big fan of the tv show. This series is just a heck of a lot of fun. Wynonna's awesome, and I loved issue 6's "setting." Will definitely continue with this.

Volume one with the first six issues of the series. Apparently there is a TV series, but I haven't seen it.

The cover art is very nice. Each issue has a frontispiece in a simpler style, summarizing what has happened so far. I did not like the art in those pieces. I was so disappointed in it that I put this down for a few days. The inside art of the actual stories is nice enough, I guess.



The story itself does not do much for me. The heroine runs around shooting and otherwise killing a lot of baddies and in the process gets the good guys killed as well. She gets told off for it, ignores that completely and goes off to kill some more. Rinse and repeat. Gore, blood, not much plot. Not much character development either.



I skimmed through the last three issues. Sorry, this was not for me.

I received this free e-copy from the publisher/author via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review, thank you!
