A real disappointment. Liked Fred van Lente's 'Action Philosopher' series, but this is terrible.

It has one good idea -- Manifest Destiny = Alien Invasion -- but after that there's not a single original idea, just one cliche after another. Reads like the storyboard to a really, really bad

B-movie.

Midtown comics was giving it away for free, otherwise I'd feel ripped off.

The only reason I finished it was because it wasn't taking a long time, and I wanted to say I'd read it. But it's really awful.

Not a bad graphic novel. Art is ok and story is also ok. As

far as being like the movie though, other than having aliens and cowboys it is nothing like the movie. Yes, I saw the movie when it came out. Hello. Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford? How could I not. Besides, the kids wanted to see it. We went, we saw, we were entertained. When I saw the graphic novel in the library I decided it was a must read to revisit the movie. Then I read it and was like, huh. Ok. I ended up returning it to the library before I wrote the review and I can’t remember the names of anyone else in it. So, I was slightly entertained by it and then almost completely forgot about it.

Rather silly pulp western/scifi. The aliens were exceptionally unbelievable. The artwork was so-so. I haven't seen the film and, having read this book, I probably won't.

A fun romp of a comic! The title says it all, well, except Native Americans are in the fight too! It's a fast paced story, maybe even too fast paced! But it's a fun one!

Alien warriors crash land in the old west.

1.5/4 (Meh).

My understanding is this book exists purely as a means to sell a pitch for an action movie. It is the quality you would expect from that.

The idea was stronger than the execution.
