Synopsis: Next Town Over is a cat and mouse story that takes place in a fantastic American west with a few, very minor steampunk-ish elements thrown in. It follows a mysterious, incredibly hard to kill woman who uses a massive variety of guns with extraneous gears on them named Vane Black as she chases a pyrokinetic outlaw with unknown but ill-seeming intentions named John Henry Hunter all over the west. They both have a casual disregard for the massive amounts of collateral damage they cause.
Art:
It's pretty solid, overall. I especially like the use of color.
Additional notes: The comic is still very young, currently on chapter three of a planned 13, so there is not much of an archive to go through.
It's a fun little comic, with Vane and Hunter one-upping each other in some rather creative ways. There are a couple of unsolved mysteries permeating in the background, at the moment, most of them concerning Vane Black's identity and what Hunter is up to.
It's a not very deep but rather enjoyable read.
