Space is cool. Westerns are cool. Whenever the two genres are married, the coolness multiplies.
That is definitely the case in this excellent and all too brief series. Clara, a single mom with a mysterious background travels from a great distance to arrive at the remote town to take up a job as the Sherriff. She is immediately called upon to deal with a series of crises: Resentful deputy, corrupt mayor, violent hillbillies and shady business tycoon. All the western cliche elements are ticked off like in a bingo card.
But what makes the whole series worthwhile is the outstanding artwork, and incredible alien character designs. Even as you breeze through the all too short series quickly, you will be left asking for more. The end is rather abrupt, almost like the authors ran out of story to tell. But still, it’s a great read.
