Rahner and Horton realized comic books were an ideal medium for portraying their story of a reluctant government agent sent to investigate strange happenings in remote and often backward Western towns — and its underlying criticism of today’s social and political ills. In their series, as in real life, “If you’re a rational, skeptical, independent thinker, you’re going to be alone — and you’re going to have a lot of enemies,” Rahner said.

Like horror movies, comics have always been “stand-ins for what people were really scared of,” Reid said.

If you are looking to buy an Xbox 360 beware of consoles that have been banded by microsoft.
