Great read, maintained the intrigue and love the new characters. Excited to see where it goes from here.

I just learned that Buckaroos are a specific type of cowboy, mostly people from Oregon. It's apparently a morphing of the Spanish word for cowboy, vaquero. Which is a pretty big bastardization, but whatever, language is weird.
One of these buckaroos, Prim Tebo Ortega, has a couple tall tales around him.
First: How weird is it that there's a Prim Tebo and a Tim Tebow?
Anyway, he wasn't a big guy, but they say he could grip two horseshoes in one hand, and nobody could separate them and break his grip. He was known for doing feats of strength and card tricks and shit like that.
I don't know if that sort of thing will exist anymore. I mean, who is going to allegedly do feats of strength and be a legend because of it? Pics or it didn't happen, right?

Emotions: 😃Curiosity, interest, intrigue, desperation, satisfaction.
Recommended if you like: Comics/graphic novels, gore, stories about serial killers, dark stories.
This is the 4th installment of the series and we get a few new pieces of the puzzle. I enjoyed the story and the graphics but it’s moving slowly, I don’t mean the pace for the story itself, but the revealing of the important pieces to begin to piece together what’s really going on; there are new cases and secondary stories, but the main plot point isn’t developing as fast as I would like to. This is always my main problem with comics and graphic novels, they are too short, and I think that instead of having 6 volumes, you could only have 3 and make them longer.
It’s interesting, entertaining, engrossing and a fast read. I’m going to continue with the series and I recommend it if you like something on the darker side.
