Misadventures of Adam West #4
Bluewater Productions (September, 2011)
CREATORS: Adam West & Darren G. Davis WRITER: Reed Lackey PENCILER: V. Ken Marion COLORIST: Kamui Ayami LETTERER: James Reed GRAPHICS: Darren G. Davis
In an Old West movie, Adam must deal with a crooked Sheriff and try to clean up the town. Robinson informs him by telegraph that he may have a way to get Adam home, but someone is on his way to town. Is it good news for Adam, or the final act!
What they got right: No “west” puns in a story with Adam West in the Old West. Thank you, Reed Lackey. Also, I like how Adam won’t be in the same story each time. Last time it was a spy picture. This time it’s the Old West. I’m curious to see how many genres they can go through between this mini and the upcoming ongoing.
What they got wrong: Weren’t they going for a less dark hero in darker “movies” theme last arc? Here, Adam is rather violent in the way he takes down the gang. I don’t have a problem with the solution and it’s quite clever, but I just thought the point was Adam West being the cleaner hero. Maybe because no civilians were hurt?
Recommendation: Well, it’s about time it got here, and again it appears to be worth the wait.

He hopes West didn't step in anything before this.
