Book Review: Daisy Kutter and The Last Train

Daisy Kutter is an action packed story that gives the reader a little bit of the Old West combined with a flare for the futuristic/sci-fi. This graphic novel does a wonderful job combining dialogue and art to create a very well-rounded story.


Daisy Kutter is the story of a strong female personality "saving the day" against robots in the Old West. Daisy, a former gunfighter, gives up that life for the slower scene - owning a general store. One day, a mysterious card shark comes to town and beats her in a poker shoot out. After he takes her for everything she has, he offers her an enticing deal. He needs her to rob a train. The catch - it's his train!! She takes the deal and embarks on a great action-packed adventure with classic gunfights and plenty of drama!

The drawings in this book really make the story. The dialogue is intriguing, but the reader must "read" the pictures in order to grasp the full story. The drawings are so compelling and tell so much of the story that the dialogue is lost without them.

Overall, a compelling story with an interesting backdrop (Old West and Sci-Fi) complemented by wonderful pictures.
