Bouncer Vol. 6 The Black Widow is written by Alexandro Jodorowsky and art by Francois Boucq.
Barrow City has a new teacher in town as well a new psychopathic villain: Axhead.
This volume's villain is a bit over-the-top for the serious but has a very unique design. This book is a lot of set-up for the final volume.

La suite de ce western en bd, une intrigue passionnante, riche et pleine de rebondissements et de flashback, et facile à suivre, des personnages atypiques, et des dessins superbes.
Je dois lire la suite...de cette série de 7 tomes, dont différentes histoires.

The sixth book in the series, and the first in the final story arc, which will be completed with the next volume. Jodorowsky here delivers one of his best scripts for the whole series, involving both characters development and several strong female characters, a rarity in Jodorowsky's oeuvre, making this the first volume I considered giving four stars. Still no chance of it passing the Bechdel test, though, so three stars it is.
There's closure to several themes that's been running for a while in this series, but also a raising of the stakes for the main character, so it's evident that Jodorowsky is building up to the final crescendo in the seventh volume. But he also introduces several new characters and gives us several really good action scenes in this, the penultimate volume.
As always, Boucq consistently delivers really good looking art; precise and realistic, yet with a personal touch. I still prefer his own, often surrealistic comics to the pretentious scrips by Jodorowsky, but Boucq's art saves this series from being merely mediocre Western fare.

"Lo sé, Mocho, me estoy metiendo en un buen lío, pero esa mujer es como a mí me gustan... Hermosa y sumisa".
Bueh, pese a esas joyitas del sexismo con las que Jodorowsky nos deleita en cada historia, este tomo me enganchó batante y debe ser el que más rápido me leí. Como siempre hay muertes de sobra, gentes de mierda, faltan personajes femeninos fuertes y bolacean un poco con la aparición de personajes que siempre "estuvieron ahí" pero recién ahora salen a la luz (y ni tanto, ya que a la que digo en particular no se le ve la cara).
Un tomo más y me mudo de pueblo.
