One of the things I haven't talked about before regarding these comics is the palette. Blues and oranges and reds... it's very striking, visually, and I enjoy that. This is particularly the case when it comes to the mythological figures, Death and the reapers, Beauty and Sissy. I don't spend a lot of time reading westerns, and even less reading western comics, so I can't say if this is typical, but it's certainly appealing.
That the storyline, in this issue, is focused on the replacement of Death is also appealing, albeit it feels like something I've read a number of times before. The old Death makes way for the new, and the new, here, is a confused child who has not yet taken up the role - who doesn't even really understand that taking up the role of Death is her future. What I do like about it is the emphasis that Sissy's character and experiences are important... that she'll be an improvement in the role because the capacity for kindness has been carefully cultivated in her. It's a surprisingly gentle inclusion, given that so much of the rest of the story is straight violence, but that's what makes it, for me, the most likeable part.

I love learning more about the mythology in this world.
Also, Death is a bit of a dick.
