I enjoyed this hybrid series of Marvel characters and Westerns. I am not a die hard western fan but I have enjoyed practically all the Clint Eastwood westerns; the Steve McQueen Magnificent Seven and even Kurt Russell's Tombstone. This series is in keeping very much with the tone of those films so I found it quite enjoyable.
Would have loved to have seen it a six-issue run or even eight, as the pacing did seem a bit rushed towards the end with the introduction of Carol, and Natasha finally getting in on the action!
Overall, another Secret Wars series which worked quite well!

I almost want to remove a star for padding the book out with a couple of old Red Wolf stories, but the main attraction is so fun for a variety of reasons that I must consider this Marvel's equivalent to Justice Riders. Which officially makes me a sucker for superhero tropes translated into westerns.

This AU 100% had me—nineteenth century Avengers living life in the Old West? Characters reimagined as suffragettes, a town doctor, a Vision of the Future machine (omg, that last one). Hell yeah, I'm in. And then
Spoilersheriff Steve Rogers died!

Oh, man! Why did this GN remind me of a Western movie with Liam Nelson but without the supernatural stuff?

Anyway, this was very gay and very angst! In 616 Tony designed the iron man suit to shield himself from an abusive family, in this universe he built it to shield himself from the pain he felt over Steve's death and to avenge him. Let me cry in peace, thanks.
