I've been curious about this story for some time since I missed it when it was originally published, and I'm very happy that I had a chance to read it. Still, the writing was a but simple, the dialogue not that great (early Ennis), the art was clear and effective but didn't impress me (Braithwaite), and I enjoyed it about as much as I enjoy typical "What If" stories. In short, nothing special but still entertaining. It has a relatively steep price point though (4.99), so if you're on a limited budget I would probably suggest taking a pass.
