THE HIGHWAYMEN: The Reviews Are In!

Bulletin:

If you haven't already checked it out, it's not too late to catch up before the second issue drops on July 18th. Not convinced? See what these folks, many of them smarter than me, have to say...

Brian K. Vaughan: "This new Wildstorm miniseries from Entertainment Weekly's Marc Bernardin is a perfect example of one of my favorite action sub-genres, Badass Old Geezers With Huge Guns."

Andy Diggle: “Finally - finally! - someone remembers what comic-books are for. Old-school tough guys, sexy super-spies, gunfights, car chases, wholesale property destruction and Bill Clinton as M. And those Stelfreeze covers are to die for.”

Joshua Hale Fialkov: "It’s an action packed thrill ride, in the most non-cliched meaning of the words. It’s a complete and utter fucking blast, and it’s highly recommended."

Variety.com: “Serious and tough, this is a cool book. Grade: B+”

Comic Book Resources: “From the very first page, the best adjective for this comic book is 'gripping.'… The entire package, however, is thrilling and well worth checking out, with clear and solid visual depictions and storytelling from Lee Garbett with Johnny Rench's flawless coloring helping things stand out even more. A fantastic debut which has many interesting possibilities.”

Silver Bullet Comics: “...the book exceeds where most new books tend to fail and makes sure that you not only want to read the second issue, you enjoy the entire ride through the first one, enough that you’ll both remember the plot by the time issue two comes out, but also enough that, even if you didn’t, you’d read it again just for that rush that comes with a new find."

Fangasm.com: “If the action doesn’t hook you, the Murtaugh-Riggs witty banter will keep you salivating for the second issue.”

A Comic A Day: “Yes. I will pick up the next chapter, and since the WildStorm website identifies this issue as one of five, if it maintains this outing's level of intrigue I'll undoubtedly remain aboard until the very end.”
