Deadwood = Preacher, tv style? This is what happens here, pretty much. New sheriff in town, corrupt business types, etc., etc. Sherlock Holmes had something to say about small country towns and nowheresville type places.

There is an evil meat baron, and corrupt cop, a dominatrix accountant, a one armed relative, and a good looking deputy. So of course Jesse ends up with the sheriff job by default, and a whole pile of problems come with it.

After the events of War in the Sun, Jesse Custer needs to take some time out to lick his wounds and try to remember just what exactly happened and why his fall from an airplane apparently didn't kill him. He drifts into the town of Salvation, Texas, and in short order finds himself made sheriff and standing off against Odin Quincannon, the local meat baron who runs the town. Great stuff -- as always, this is by turns ludicrous, hilarious, and heartwrenching. ( )

Each volume is, literally, better than the last, can't wait to get the next one.

This volume is unusually self-contained: there are no significant appearances by Tulip or Cassidy, and it doesn't further Custer's overall story. But I didn't mind.

I do wish they'd used a different cover. Not the kind of thing you want people on the subway to have to look at.
