Ashcan format preview book that introduces Ezekiel Carson, a vampire gunslinger in the Old West.

I liked the "Weird West" feel of this introductory story. Carson arrives in a small town to found most of the populace hanging and the rest among the ranks of the walking dead. He proceeds to dispense some frontier justice.

Nice artwork, particularly on the faces. This ashcan also includes a two-page preview of Ezekiel Carson's adventures in prose form.

I like the mix of vampire lore with Old West action. This was a good preview that got me interested in reading more about the Blood Rider's adventures.
