They had as a king over the angels of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon (destruction) and in Greek Apollyon (destroyer).
The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.
In the western town of Abbadon pretty much anything goes for the right price: gambling, prostitution; whatever your vice, you’ll likely find it in Abbadon. However, there has been a string of gruesome murders in town that is scaring off the customers and the legendary lawman, Wes Garrrett, has been hired to aid the sheriff in uncovering the killer. Garrett’s methods seem a bit extreme even for Abbadon but, as the body count rises and the sheriff expresses his concerns, the mayor, continues to back Garrett. In a town renowned for moral ambiguity, it ‘s hard to tell the good guys from the bad. And as bad as things are, they’re about to get a whole lot worse because the mayor has plans for Abbadon and they don’t include the present citizens.
The graphic novel, Abbadon, was written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Grey and based on an original screenplay by Spencer Marstiller. The artwork is by Fabrizio Fiorentino. The book includes plenty of extras including the original storyboards and an explanation of the process that took it from screenplay to graphic novel.
Abbadon is a beautifully drawn and written tale full of action and suspense and a nod to noir. Like an old-time western, it posits the questions: do good guys always win in the end and does good always triumph over evil. But this isn’t your grandaddy’s western so don’t look here for easy answers here. Definitely a high recommendation for fans of Palmiotti’s Jonah Hex and other western series or for fans of graphic novels in general. ( )
