A solid graphic novel. I'm very sad that it's out of print and won't be coming back, at least for a long time. The story is intriguing and the setting is fascinating with the mix of technology and the wild west. Daisy is unique and reading about her really pulled me in. I would recommend to anyone who can get their hands on it, or it's avaliable online on the authors website as a web comic. Hopefully we will get more of it eventually!

Daisy is a retired gunslinger, but she’s not very happy with her new life. She’s restless and ready for more excitement, and she’s not very happy with her ex partner who has become the towns sheriff. He wants her to become a deputy, but she says no. There’s great interaction between the two of them.
She loses a bet to Mr. Winters, and agrees to rob a train to pay him back, but of course something goes wrong, as it seems like Winters actually had other plans for her that he didn’t bother to disclose to anyone, and he doesn’t plan on letting her make it out alive.
Kibushi has created great characters full of personality and fun dialogue. His art is clean and clear. It’s cartoony but a great style. The world he’s created is full of robots and cowboys, very old and new at the same time. It’s a short read, and never gets boring or slow. The action is quick and the illustrations work well for the fast sequences.

Story and characters are front and center, as always with Kazu, and that makes for a wonderful read

A lovely little graphic novel - the art is pretty, the pacing deliberate. Daisy is delightfully cantankerous.

Daisy Kutter is a snapshot of a cowgirl who will remind many, in a good way, of a character from Firefly. I really enjoyed this quick read. Many are probably familiar with him from the popular children's comic book series Amulet published by Scholastic, and he has a little more emotional and thematic meat to work with in this story oriented towards adults. Kazu Kibuishi's tells stories amazingly, and although the story is a simple one, Kibuishi manages to give it an emotional punch through the strength of his visual storytelling and expressive art.

I still love the art, but the story isn't as solid as I remember.

It's a good story and I like the art. More importantly, it taught me the basics of Texas Hold'em and I was able to clean out the bank first try (beginner's luck, of course).
