Synopsis: Daisy Kutter has hung up her spurs after living the outlaw life and many consider exploits legendary. Now the proprietor of a general store on a backwater planet her current life if incredibly mundane in comparison to her former glory days. When two strangers offer her a job to test some new-model security robots by robbing the owner's train she accepts against her own misgivings.
The mock train heist is on, but the owner has a secret which could spell the end for Daisy. Factor in her former lover and present sheriff of the town she lives in deciding to take a train ride on the same day and it all spells trouble with a capital D-A-I-S-Y!
Pros: Well done black & white gradient artwork, polished manga-style, mildly reminiscient of Leiji Matsumoto, lots of extras: sketchbook, pinups by other artists, interview
Cons: Simplistic storyline, mostly g-rated
Mike Tells It Straight: Kibuishi has a unique art style which is simple, straightforward, and pleasant. He crafts a believable world and populates it with endearing characters. This story is very basic and easy to understand. It's an enjoyable read meant for a younger audience and those wishing to keep things relatively light (even with the gunfights and killing). Those looking for a mature, gritty story should steer clear.
