This sounds interesting and fun. I haven't read anything by Greg Pak yet so it'll be fun to check I out.

The Wild West is one of my favorite genres, especially "East meets West" type stories like the Shanghai Noon/Knights films. I'll definitely be buying the first issue of Kingsway West this November, but then I'll be waiting for the rest in trade paperbacks.

I have issues with spending 4 bucks a month on a creator-owned project from Dark Horse and Image. With DC and Marvel, there usually is no choice but to pay 3.99 for every issue you want to own. Unless your creator-owned comic is at IDW, Boom, Dynamite, or Oni Press, which sells each issue at 4 bucks by default, I don't think comics at Dark Horse or Image are required to be 3.99 when they could be 2.99 or 3.50... unless Dark Horse is headed towards a direction where all their comics will be 3.99 by default like IDW, Boom, Dynamite, and Oni Press, then I guess I have no choice in the matter.

Anyways I'm looking forward to owning and reading the first issue of Kingsway West, it sounds very interesting and the art shown so far looks amazing. I hope the creators find long-term success with it.
