Are you a fan of Marvel Comics' western heroes?
Then you'll love this miniseries, in which the Rawhide Kid teams up with not only three historical gunslingers, but also fellow Marvel cowboys Kid Colt, the Two-Gun Kid, and Red Wolf, with a couple references to the Lone Ranger and Tonto along the way!
For more details, check out my book Crossovers Expanded: A Secret Chronology of the World Volume 3, to be published by Meteor House! Much like its predecessors, this volume is an AUTHORIZED companion to Win Scott Eckert's Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World Volumes 1 and 2!
I wonder who the historical gunslingers were?
ReplyDeleteAnnie Oakley, Billy the Kid, and Doc Holliday. That being said, the book takes place sometime between October 26, 1881 (the gunfight at the O.K. Corral is mentioned) and March 18, 1882 (Morgan Earp is still alive), yet Billy the Kid historically died on July 4, 1881. Either his death was exaggerated (not unheard of in the CU, of course), this Billy might've been a Famous Individual Syndrome sufferer, or my preferred take: since the movie BILLY THE KID VS. DRACULA is in the CU through a couple of stories published in TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN, Dracula bit him during that adventure, and he came back as a vampire after Pat Garrett killed him.
DeleteSo he is vampire outlaw. Like how the Gorch brothers from The Wild Bunch turned up on Buffy?
ReplyDeleteYep. I should really watch those two episodes of Buffy someday - I love THE WILD BUNCH.
DeleteThe Wild Bunch was great.
DeleteI know I've seen the Buffy episodes and think they were good. I, to be perfectly honest, have mixed feelings about Whedon's work.
