review:
'Wynonna Earp Volume 1: Homecoming' by Beau Smith with art by Lora Innes and Chris Evenhuis should have been a sure thing for me. A cross between Western and urban fantasy should have been easy for me to like. But it wasn't.
It was originally a comic, then more recently became a television series (which I haven't seen), and this is a new graphic novel based on both, I think.
Wynonna Earp is a descendant of Wyatt Earp. She shoots first and asks questions later, which annoys her boss Agent Doll. There is also a mysterious, or so we are told multiple times, character named John Henry. Wynonna goes around fighting supernatural creatures. From a cult of demons that drink milk and blood, to a mall full of zombies, Wynonna is called in to kick butt. There is also a case that takes her back to her family's roots.
Again, the setting and premise should have been a shoo in for me, but it is so tepid that I feel disappointed. The art is also not very spectacular for the most part. It's an interesting set of characters, but I have a hard time recommending it.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from IDW Publishing and Diamond Book Distributors in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
