More importantly, thanks for doing so in a constructive manner. You have no idea how rare that is these days. Ryan, thanks for the feedback. I’ll send those links down to the artists.

Quick note: in the last panel, the guy is holding the rifle oddly. Winchesters (and any rifle from that era) don't have pistol grips that extend down from the stock. From the way it's drawn, it looks like the guy is holding the rifle with only his trigger finger. The thumb and fingers should wrap around the stock. Have your artist do a quick Google search for anyone firing a rifle, bb-gun, whatever. It may seem minor, but it looks really odd to anyone who has ever held even a toy rifle, and for a Western series that will probably have more than one rifle, it's a good idea to have it right. Here's are two examples from both sides: http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1894384/2/istockphoto_1894384-man-shooting-rifle.jpg http://www.shootingbums.org/mwsa/images/Dec04_DakotaJoe.jpg I’ve been enjoying the series, thanks for posting it.
