3 Devils, Issue #2 is the second in a limited series of four. Like Issue #1, it takes place in 1973 Utah. Tara is a gypsy girl and a knife handler. Marcus is a black man, a former slave and... a "magician." He doesn't eat, drink, or sleep. He calls himself a "zuvembie"; this is the Haitian word for "zombie." He goes on to explain that he was forced to drink a potion brewed by a Haitian witch when he was a slave. He teaches Tara to shoot and fight. She already knows how to handle knives, but she trains and becomes better. They go to town and get supplies first, and of course, they get into trouble.
The cover (shown) shows her as a sexy and battle-ready soldier. This was teased on the final page of the last issue. Issue #2 is about her transformation into that being. She promises to help Marcus find the woman who turned him into a zuvembie if he helps her find the 3 Devils who murdered her family. I like this series, and I like Westerns. Written, drawn, and lettered by Bo Hampton and with colors by Jeremy Mohler, 3 Devils is also a bittersweet revenge story in the vein of I Spit on Your Grave and so many others.
