Review:
A Sci-Fi Western, now that's something different but the story just wasn't there for me. It spent more time showing me large numbers of people being killed before actually getting to the point of the story. Which is about The Four Horsemen: Famine, Conquest and War (well actually three, since Death was acting on his own) along with the Chosen as they try to bring about the end of the world. They are working in accordance to a certain message.
Meanwhile, Death is going after members of the Chosen who have taken something from him that he wants returned. Turns out there were two things taken from him and he will stop at nothing to get them back.
The best thing about this for me were the action scenes and some of the artwork. This was just okay, I applaud it for being different but I do wish the story had more to it.
