I'm not a fan of westerns, and especially not a fan of westerns as comics, for one primary reason: they are simply too predictable. That's the problem with this one, too. Django leaves the southern US towards Arizona, and meets Zorro on the way. They join forces against a cruel and ruthless landowner, and against overwhelming odds they win the day for the people (in this case American Indians) that were being oppressed. So predictable, so boring. I didn't care for the artwork, either. It was too dark and didn't provide much in the way of detail, very similar to the artwork seen in comics of the early to mid-70s. The west is still open and land is being snatched up by any means legal or otherwise as rumours abound of a railway linking the west with the east. Don Diego de la Vega (Zorro) is on his way to investigate the man known as the ‘Archduke of Arizona’ who claims to own most of the territory when he meets up with Django who is on the trail of some bank robbers. The two discover their mutual interests and Zorro offers to hire Django as his bodyguard although it becomes clear pretty quickly that he doesn’t need one. But despite his suspicions that there’s more than a little de la Vega isn’t telling him, Django accepts. Quentin Tarantino has teamed up with Eisner-award winning comic writer Matt Wagner to write the graphic novel Django/Zorro and what a great pairing both of writer and artist and, of course, of characters; Django with his wit and his quick draw and Zorro with his old-world charm and his exceptional skills with a sword. This graphic novel is well-written and beautifully drawn with plenty of action, engaging characters, and engrossing storyline. A definite recommendation from me for fans of graphic novels, Quentin Tarantino, and/or stories of how the west was won. Tarantino’s hero meets the mighty Zorro Quentin Tarantino & Matt Wagner bring us an encounter between Tarantino’s Django (following on from the film) and Don Diego de la Vega (now getting on in years). Together these heroes fight injustice in Arizona with plenty of bloodshed. Engaging tale with few surprises, well-written and illustrated. Quite fun. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

That being said, comic violence is easier for me to digest so I was excited to delve into this series even though Zoro has never been my favorite masked hero. Honestly the story ended up being rather bland and derivative of the movie, or really westerns in general. I suppose that was part of the point since Django was Tarantinos love letter to spaghetti westerns, but it made for a pretty uninteresting read. Zoro was always a pretty one-note hero to me, and though they've added a few layers here, his core remains true to the original (and the reboot).
I probably wouldn't recommend this to someone not familiar with the movie, or the genre in general, but it was nice for what it was: a crossover series.
