This is so in my wheelhouse its like it was written for me. Marvel heroes cast in a western. My only small complaint is more things that show them still being Marvel heroes. There was some, but there could have been more.

Great Marvel AU fanfic, except that (view spoiler)[poor Steve gets fridged for the sake of Tony's manpain after Bucky got fridged for the sake of Steve's manpain (hide spoiler)]. Carol and Natasha kick ass though :)

I'm honestly surprised at how much I liked this. I'd thought that the concept was interesting, of course, but I didn't expect that it would be executed so well. Perhaps the best thing that I could possibly say about this book is that it does indeed hold together as a western. It's late in the book before any "super" elements show up at all. Honestly, I could have done without the full Iron Man suit, but it doesn't feel terribly out of place. Up until that point, it fits neatly into the western g...

Of all the What-If stories, this is one of the odder ones. It sure takes its premise seriously:And it keeps up appearances, weaving in all the high point of the modern 616 into an old-west mythos pretty damned finely.Duggan, is that really you behind the keyboard? I didn't know you had it in you to write a serious story this well. In some ways, each character does exactly what they'll always do no matter the setting:In other ways, Duggan surprises us with enough twists to make this an entirely i...

This was one of the best series to come out of the Secret Wars event in 2015. The new take on the characters was really interesting and fun. While I didn't quite like the idea of making Tony Stark the town drunk, the relationship between Tony and Sheriff Rogers was fun to read. I enjoyed the use of Natasha and her relationship to the cause as well. I really wish this turned into a longer series.

The best Battleworld/Warzones book I've read yet! Good fun. Placed all our Avengers perfectly in a western setting. Well done.

This one was OK, I suppose. It would have been nice, considering how the town in the book was called Timely, if they'd used more than one character from Marvel's Timely days. It just seemed like a barrel full of missed opportunities.Maybe it's because I'm a big fan of the old Golden Age characters and not much of a fan of Westerns...

One of those titles that makes you wish it was an ongoing series.

55th book read in 2018.Number 187 out of 715 on my all time book list.Much like the Marvel 1602 line this places heroes in the wild west.

From Marvel's Secret Wars. A western comic version of the Marvel Universe. Steve Rogers is sheriff. Wilson Fisk is Mayor. Bruce Banner is doctor.

This is my kind of thing, my jam so to speak.A western, with the Marvel people all showing up.Sharper eyes will catch Medusa as an upstairs girl.Watch out for the coming of the spider bite at the Parker 'stead. Natasha, always the wicked fighting machine, holds true to that here.I really enjoyed how they incorporated the Demon in a Bottle storyline for Stark to overcome to try and honor his fallen friend.The bounty hunters are formidable but fall a touch too easy, even if they do get the last la...

What's it about?1872 takes place in an alternate Marvel universe where well-known Marvel characters are imagined as old west characters.Pros:The story is good. As a fan of Marvel comics and westerns I loved seeing Marvel characters reimagined as western bad-a**es. The art is really well done. The action is freaking awesome! Since this takes place in an alternate universe this book's a lot less predictable than the main universe Marvel stories since characters can do things like be dead for more

Yes. Western Avengers. Minor roles for lots of peeps. Sets up a whole world worth following without getting nutso.

I am a big fan of "Weird Westerns," having even wrote a few of them myself. That being said, I may have been a bit biased towards this one. I really enjoyed it, though.We have Steve Rogers as an old west sheriff and the Kingpin as an old west mayor. Bullseye, Doc Ock, the Grizzly and Elektra are a band of evil bounty hunters. Tony Stark and Bruce Banner show up, as does the Black Widow. It's basically just Marvel Heroes and Villains tossed into classic old west tropes, but it was really fun. The...

The Avengers of the Old West plus Red Wolf. All of your main Avengers living as citizens in the town of Timely where Wilson Fisk is mayor. You can pretty much figure out the rest of this by the numbers Western. I feel like this was a missed opportunity by not making this about Marvel's characters from the Old West like the Rawhide Kid, the Masked Rider and the Two-Gun Kid, etc. There's a couple of Red Wolf reprint stories to help fill this out and cost you a few more dollars. Do yourself a favor...

Marvel superheroes dress up in 1872 cowboys and injuns cosplay - yee-haw! The corrupt Wilson Fisk rules the frontier town of Timely but a gathering of heroes, led by Sheriff Steve Rogers, are fixin’ to bring justice to the west. I don’t get the appeal of this one unless you’re a Western fan who just wants the standard Western story again. It’s the most generic Western storyline ever but with Marvel characters playing out the roles. What am I missing?? Given that Timely is a reference to Marvel C...

This was one of the best Secret Wars limited series. Reimagining Marvel characters in different time periods is nothing that hasn't been done before, but the wild west setting fits in very naturally, and the execution is top notch. Highly recommended, and it seems like this storyline is going to get a regular ongoing series! So I will look forward to that.

Finally got my hands on a copy! I've been intrigued by excerpts I'd seen via the BuckyNat parts of fandom, so I was startled to discover that Bucky isn't actually in this one at all. Natasha was great! And that's really all I can say for it. Steve was wasted, Tony was literally wasted, Bruce did a ridiculous amount of dithering for such a short graphic novel... and I kept waiting in vain for Bucky to show up in Winter Soldier style.

Marvel's heroes and villains reimagined as a Western, because why not? So Tony Stark is the town drunk, Steve Rogers the stubborn sheriff, and the attempted lynching of Red Wolf by Mayor Fisk's lackeys begins the tale. I make no claims for it as art, but found it a soothing read on a bad day in much the same way someone else might turn to a supermarket check-out magazine.

Entertaining if you like western theme type stuff.
