Writing: In this issue, we see the more foppishly dressed bounty hunter playing head games with the sheriff's office where the other bounty hounter is headed. He seems to be trying to delay him, but we are not told why. They do a good job setting up the conflicts between the characters in the sheriff's office to play out in destruction and mayhem. I just hope they get to establishing the connection between the two characters soon.
Artwork: I had an easier time keeping track of which hunter was which this time. The kid who sold them the horses seemed a little out of place in this book, as he was a more classic anime type character with his expressions and reactions.
Overall: 3 stars. While this title is interesting, I'm still trying to piece the story together into a coherent whole.

Writing: I thought this effort was a bit more peicemeal than the first issue. I thought it floated a bit more and was a bit more hard to follow. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy this title, but I thought that the storyline was a bit more unfocused and I found I was left feeling a bit disoriented by this title. Perhaps in the next issue things will firm up a bit. I enjoyed this comic but I thought it could have bneen a bit more focused.
Artwork: The art worked well for this title. I thought the black and white art to be effective in conveying the tone of the story and also for expressing the overall sadism of the Bounty Killer.
Overall: 3 stars. Overall this was a good read. I liked the story for the most part however I thought the story could be a bit more focused.

Writing: Though I liked the story, I thought it had issue deciding what type of story it wanted to be. Some of the story was written as a comedy, and some of it was anything but. I don't recall the first one being so humor oriented. My other issue sort of mimics Stefans comments in that I got confused reading this and had to go back and reread it to put it all together. (could have been a lack of focus the first time).
With all that being said, I did enjoy the story and found some of the charcters pretty amusing.
Artwork: I liked the artwork but I would like to see a bit more differences between the Bounty Killer and the other bounty hunter. For whatever reason, I had to check to see which one was being shown.
Overall: 3 stars. Entertaining read, that I thought should have been a bit more serious and slightly less campy.
