I really enjoyed this graphic novel. This was an interesting take on the wild west meets the modern day with supernatural mixed in.

I've seen the show recently and this doesn't really follow it but I'm so happy to have spent some time with Wynonna again, while waiting for season two!
I do hope some of the things here (humhum Valdez) will join the show at some point ;)
Anyway, about the book. I like the art and it's still a cool and fun story to follow.

A descendant of Wyatt Earp, Wynonna is here to take names and kill drug trafficking humanoids who are chupacabras. She is not involved at the beginning of the story instead taking care of other business in the human world. Filled with grit, lady power and ruthless aggression Wynonna is a lady I'd love to have in my life.

I picked up this book because I knew Lora Innes did the art, and I really enjoy her other work. The art did not disappoint, but I found the story being told to be disjointed and somewhat frustrating. This is a tie-in to the television series of the same name, and as I read I felt there was an expectation that I should already have a vested interest in and knowledge of the characters showing up. As I have not seen the television series, said existing interest and knowledge were not present for me. All told, I would say this does not serve as as particularly good introduction point to the franchise, which is a shame.

I must admit - my main incentive for reading this graphic novel was the show. I had binge-watched the entire season (just 13 episodes!) last month, and finding this was a treat. Despite being a tie-in, it is more of a book set in the universe, rather than continuing from the show canon. This is both good and bad. Good because, here, with Black Badge divisions solving cases outside Purgatory means there is a wider world of supernatural creatures that we encounter. The story doesn't revolve around the Earp Curse but mentions it. Bad because the Earp Curse gave a reason for Wynonna's entry into Black Badge. Her character traits are such that the canon of the show had a legitimate plot reason for the Earp Curse and Black Badge arcs to coincide. Here, there is no such connection. Also, there is no Waverly Earp (the sisters are mentioned, though) - at least, not so far.
Moving on to the artwork, I was disappointed in the artist for the majority of the book. The lineart is disproportionate at times, and the characters barely resemble the show ones. The only exception was issue 3, which I think had a different artist because the art was actually good in that one. Sadly, that's the only one. Despite the artwork not resembling the characters, they are however, rendered well. Wynonna's sass shines through even here, as does other characters' traits. I loved the addition of Valdez, primarily because I see a great partnership on the horizon, as well as a superb addition to the lore.
In its entirety I would say it is still better than the original graphic novels, whose male-gaze-oriented cover alone turned me off. This novel's artwork is at least better than the originals'. Overall, it is not a bad addition to the series, but can get confusing with canon.
Received a free galley from Diamond Book Distributors, via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

Is this canon to the show or not? It's not clear to me. I enjoyed it though.
