While this issue is labeled as #4, it serves just fine as an introduction to the book’s cast and plotline, with no previous reading required. Readers can jump right in to a surprisingly complicated and fun storyline, with villains and stakes succinctly explained and a diverse cast of heroes (although Native American characters are distressingly stereotypical) along for a rollicking, family-friendly Western ride. Multiple cliffhangers will have readers eager for the next issue. ( )
