Book Reviews of Outlaw Nation

Book Review: A better Westernish yarn than Preacher.
Summary: 5 Stars

This b&w collection of all 19 issues of the canceled Vertigo series "Outlaw Nation" by Jamie Delano, who has written oodles of great comics.

He's sorta took some stuff about America, Burroughs' works, Westerns, and spun it all together into a kind of commentary on the American way of life. It's violent and full of drugs and a little sex (but not tons of nudity really, and one of the characters does phone sex as a job and her kid is perhaps comfortable with that knowledge), and it takes place in the American west. It even has an old timey cowboy sheriff. What more can you ask for?

I reckon some folks would ask for Preacher, a series that took some 70 issues to tell more or less the same story with 200 more uses of profanity, nakedness, violence, and fecal matter, but I suppose Ennis is all about the shock value more than the actual story *coughCrossedcough*. I can't say I really enjoy Ennis, but I know John Q. Publicomix loves his work, enough that for some reason Preacher has hardcovers coming out, which doesn't make lots of sense to me because the story isn't that good, even for the years it came out, and Dillon's got a fan base that seems to think he can draw realistically, but all he does is draw 2 different men and 2 different females. Jim Lee does the same thing almost, but at least his work looks sweet when it's inked.

This collection is not in color, and the issue break pages just have an image of one of the main characters, a hippie chick, instead of B&W covers, which kinda made me sad, but it's also like one of those Essential/Showcase books by the big two, and really, it's like looking at the inked artwork only, which is still pretty awesome and doesn't detract from the tale. In fact, it's possibly enhanced by being Black and White in this comic fan's opinion. The only flaw with it is since it was canceled, some of the events are sort of forced in the last 3-4 issues. But still, this collection is less than a buck an issue!

Summary of Outlaw Nation

The complete saga complete in one volume! Story Johnson, a hundred-year-old semi-deranged amnesiac pulp fiction-writer returns home from 25 years MIA in Vietnam. All Story wants is to recover his missing time and catch up with some legendary, larger-than-life Johnson Family members. Trouble is, a lot of cousins have "disappeared," and those that are left have put the blame on him.
