The westward drive of Americans after the Civil War was unstoppable. For some, the vast territory meant new wealth and new opportunities. The ever-progressing railroads made many rich. Whereas others found their fortune selling the flesh of the less fortunate. In a brothel in Omaha, all manner of destinies intersect in a violent collision that many won't survive. This is the incredible story of Martha Cannary, a young woman who shrugged off what destiny had in store for her and made herself into a legend.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley and Europe Comics.
Thank you to NetGalley and Europe Comics for the ARC
This is the first time I ever read a graphic novel about the Wild West, and I wasn't disappointed..
The plot was absorbing and fast paced, and I found Martha to be a very interesting and sympathetic character. I also liked the character of Bill Hickcok, who seemed to be the only person who's moral compass was not out of whack!
I loved the drawings by Lamontagne Jacques, and I found the colours to be easy on the eye.
I read this book in one sitting, and that is always a good thing!
I will definitely be on the look out for a physical copy of this comic and for future titles as well.
5/5 stars and totally recommended!!
