The second volume is not as good as the first one, it ends in a quite unmemorable and rushed way.

Kind of doesn’t justify splitting the team up again after the previous arc and perhaps takes too long to tell us what’s going on even if there is some beautiful art in hat section. The colors are particularly striking there and really throughout this series. I am surprised by the ending. Didn’t realize it wasn’t deliberately short spin-off series like the others. Hopefully we follow up on some of these threads when the original series comes back in a few years.

Really liked this, both the premise and artwork.
Definitely plan to pick this up.

I snagged a copy of Shadow Roads at Free Comic Book Day 2018. I’m totally embarrassed at how long it took me to finally be able to give it a read!
Shadow Roads is a story that is set in the world that remains after the conclusion of The Sixth Gun series. I haven’t yet read that series, but I definitely want to now!
The story jumps right in with two characters at a museum. One is having a great time, while the other feels a bit off. Before they leave, a man gives one of the characters a gift and a message.
Next up, we jump to New Mexico Territory where a man is searching for a girl that is talented with a pistol.
The two story lines jump back and forth throughout the short comic, where we dive a bit deeper into the plots for each.
Of course, the comic ends just when things are getting really interesting! But as a quick glimpse, I thought this was perfect!
The artwork was also really awesome! I love the color schemes. It was especially interesting that the scenes in London were quite different from the orange and brown tones of the scenes in New Mexico. And of course, I’m a total sucker for the darker panels! One character that pops into the story, Ms Abigail Redmayne, looks SWEET. I can’t wait to learn more about her!
This quick glimpse totally got me hooked! I definitely need to try to get my hands on the first full volume when it comes out on June 18, 2019!
