John Woo meets Unforgiven as your favorite Marvel Western heroes round up for one last adventure!
It's the sunset days of the Wild West, and former Gunhawk Reno Jones is raising a family in a small town in Montana. The exploits of himself and the other gunslingers are now relegated to pulp novels. But tranquility is shattered when Reno's town is targeted by a ruthless land baron who's willing to use any means necessary? including the lawless, hooded Night Riders?to wipe out the town and make way for a new copper mining operation. Now Reno's only hope is to coax out of retirement the greatest gun-slinging vigilantes of the Old West's heyday! However, complications loom on the horizon, as they all have been through quite a few changes. Two-Gun Kid has retired his masked identity and is back at his legal practice. Rawhide Kid has become a performer in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. Kid Colt is still an outlaw, and stays only a few steps ahead of his determined pursuer: Caleb Hammer of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Red Wolf has grown bitter and angry at the White Man, and has distanced himself from society. Worst of all, the man once known as the Outlaw Kid has begun a slow deterioration into schizophrenia...believing his true identity and masked identity are two separate people! Can this ragtag collection of former allies pull together and stop the sacrifice of an innocent town for the sake of corporate greed? Especially when the land baron has also hired the infamous bounty hunter called Gunhawk? And what about the Ghost Rider? He's dead...or is he?

A message from X: "Today we came one step closer to overthrowing your empire of lies. Today we recruited another youth to our cause. Perhaps this doesn't matter to you. After all, it was only one. One who you ignored and neglected and condemned to a life of self-denial. We could not allow such cruelty, and some day - perhaps soon - you will curse yourselves for casting him aside. Today we gained a brother - and you gained an enemy who will not rest until you are a fading memory."

THE SCOOP: A new story arc! A new artist! THE STORY: An excerpt from the ransom note delivered to millionaire Malcolm Reeves: "We have your daughter, and though she was born to be one of us, we'll return her to you only after our demands have been met. For the hate-spewing bigot you are, we know you donate millions to butcher-doctors that perform untold atrocities on young mothers and their "unwanted" babies. Now the Brotherhood would like to see your generosity. If you don't contribute to our worthy cause, you can be assured of two things. One, the world will know that your only offspring is what you've conspired to kill: a mutant! And two, you will see your daughter again, when she returns - as your assassin!"
THE BUZZ: "Why it's cool: because the 'bad guys' get their say! Plus, it's written by the mysterious X, whose identity even Marvel ain't lettin' on about. What more of a hook could you want?" -Wizard
