The Good, The Bad and The Ugly #4 (Ongoing)

It's not too often that movies get made into comics after the movie has been out there for a few years. Here is what MTV had to say about this official movie-to-comic adaptation: "Clint Eastwood’s iconic rides again in this brand new story by writer Chuck Dixon and artist Esteve Polls. I don’t care what you say about Dirty Harry, folks— and the rest of the “Man With No Name” films were Eastwood at his cigar-chompin’, squinty-eyed best. Well, you'll say right away it would be hard scripting a main character who hardly speaks. Issue #4 continues the art (Polls' gritty style), and the slow, deliberate development as with the previous three issues that makes you feel as if the story was lifted right from the movies and it definitely reads with a cinematic style (note the wide panel layouts) and pace clearly reminiscent of Sergio Leone. You can almost hear that haunting, taunting theme. Still great stuff. The solicitation for issue #4 is exactly the same as with issue #3. Aside from that, no other complaints. Although this is the first official movie adaptation of the classic Sergio Leone Western starring Clint Eastwood, Dynamite has been publishing another ongoing Western based on Eastwood's eponymous character, entitled series which is currently up to issue # 11 and that yours truly has already posted here in Avaxhome.
