Cowboys and Aliens

By Scott Mitchell Rosenberg

Arizona. 1873. The ultimate showdown between cowboys and Indians is interrupted… by an alien invasion.

Every conqueror believes himself moved by a higher power, his destructive actions justified by necessity, compassion, or divine providence. In the greatest and most deadly expansion the world has seen, European settlers pushed west, decimating the native population without a second thought. But when aliens invade, they give the cowboys the fight of their lives, forcing them to pair with the Indians in a battle for control of the planet.

The Old West will never be the same…

“Cowboys and Aliens” is the graphic novel on which the major movie starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford is based.

Reviews for Cowboys and Aliens

[FabioGarbi · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Cowboys and Aliens is something strange, because it has a quite fancy concept but, somehow, it just fails. It's not THAT bad, it's just easily forgettable.
The "aliens in the wild west" is an idea that could have been developed better, in my opinion, by avoiding setting it all in just a few days, by giving some witty tricks to the humans against the alien menace instead of overpowering them in a really unlikely way.

Writing is poorly inspired in most dialogues and characters are poorly explored, giving the whole story a sense of "impersonality".

I just hope this concept could be further explored in the future, in a better way.
