If East of West and the recently concluded Sixth Gun aren't enough to quench your thirst for supernaturally tinged Wild West comics, perhaps this new creator-owned series from Greg Pak and Mirko Colak will fit the bill. But where both The Sixth Gun and East of West pair high concepts with great characters, Kingsway West still has some work to do in terms of the latter.
Like East of West, Kingsway West unfolds in an alternate America where history took a major left turn in the mid-19th Century. In this world, the discovery of a mythical substance called Red Gold has completely changed the balance of power and pitted the US government, Native American tribes, Mexico and even China against one another in a never-ending battle over this elusive resource. The result is a book that blends counterfactual history, fantasy, and good, old-fashioned Wild West tropes. Pak and Colak have generated a memorable universe, one where dragons and metahumans walk side by side with dusty, sharp-shooting cowboys. And thankfully, Pak doesn't go overboard trying to explain the finer details of this universe right off the bat. Most of the esoteric elements are presented in a very matter-of-fact way, and the script generally avoids plodding exposition or narration.
