"The series captures the verbal interplay between the characters and ties in nicely to the cast of the TV show on SyFy (which is quite good - if you're not already, you should be watching this show. It's a great mix of horror, action and humor, with great writing and feisty characters.) What more do you need?" – Chuck's Comic of the Day "It's fast moving, and smart. The artwork is dark and gritty – perfect for supernatural action." – ComicWow!TV. Wynonna Earp Volume 1: Homecoming by Beau Smith. His legend, Her legacy, Their law. I’ve completely and unabashedly loved the tv series based on this comic book series, so I was really looking forward to reading this comic compendium. It didn’t take long, though, before I was just confused. John Henry? Mars Del Ray? Dolls is Wynonna’s boss? Well, I suppose he is in the series as well, but it’s not as blatant. What’s even more confusing is that a little ‘net searching shows that while it all started with the comics, this comic miniseries is a tie-in to the tv series. (Looking at the covers and descriptions for other miniseries, there doesn’t seem to be much of a connection; if that’s Wynonna on the cover there, she’s a bosomy blonde. Very bosomy. I mean … remarkably bosomy, even for a comic book.) The relationships were odd here. I was constantly distracted by trying to figure out when this was supposed to take place in relation with the series, with “John Henry” running around, and Dolls taking Wynonna on missions to kill zombies and chupacannibals. And Wynonna keeps getting people killed because she’s hot-headed, and Dolls keeps chastising her for not being a better agent. (Considering she hasn’t had any training, I’m not sure what he can realistically expect.) Peacemaker doesn’t appear until page 93 of a 120-page book; prior to that, she “blams” away right and left with apparently ordinary weapons. Basically, everything that makes the story the story on Syfy is missing or askew. Where are the sisters? What about the curse? What are they all doing out of Purgatory? Is it really supposed to be spelled Beau Beau? Some of these questions are answered in the last third or so of the book – but it’s all just very odd. The writing was pretty clever, though it suffered in comparison with the show; as always in comic book series the art varied wildly among the books contained in this omnibus, from really wonderful to a bit rocky to painfully awful. (You’d think they would have found someone who could draw horses for an issue with horses in it.) I should have learned by now that a stunning cover (and this one is gorgeous) does not mean the interior art will be any good. I can’t help it – I went to art school. I just want better than bad comic art. The horse … it hurts me. I’m glad to have seen the books; I won’t look for any more. I can’t wait for the show to come back, though.

I’m a fan of snarky, skilled, smart, sarcastic, dangerous women. There’s no protagonist that I fall for faster and it’s surprisingly hard to find this sort of character in a well-written adventure. For this reason, I am absolutely overjoyed to have found Wynonna Earp. Beau Smith has crafted her with an adorable penchant for property destruction and nose-breaking. She carries out her own brand of Justice that has just as much a flair for the comedic as it does dutiful honor. This trade reads like a police-procedural with Wynonna and her boss, SA Dolls, sleuthing out supernatural, brain-stealing, criminals in every chapter. There is a mystical overtone to the whole book, though, and that is due to Wynonna discovering the full story of her ancestry and inheritance, and learning the full scope of the U.S. Marshals Black Badge Division. This is a great opener to a saga and a fun read. The art and coloring of the book is solid. I especially like the splash pages that are used as story re-caps. I look forward to reading more, so this title may be added to my pull list if I give up waiting for the next TPB. Also, I’ve read that the show is a bit different from the book, so I think I’ll wait until I’ve read more to delve into the show. *I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review. This review is not for pay and is my opinion alone..
