Bad Blood

This was an adequate comic. The old west setting was appealing, but when you have a story that is also about a malevolent Wendigo spirit, AND is all about Destri's character, it's going for a lot and doesn't feel like it has quite time for anything in five short parts.

The art was well done but it is hard to get past the story. The writing of the indigenous Americans was done respectfully but clearly from an outsiders perspective. It feels a little dated - similar to how other comics like Marvel's X-Force covered such material at the time, but in stark contrast to more modern comics or even television shows like Reservation Dogs or Marvel's Echo. I think I could have really liked this story more if it were a bit better balanced or longer - because there's some interesting ideas here and Destri's ending with her uncle was quite something. It's also interesting to see a comic so late in the Eighth Doctor's run in DWM, and does feel like we are getting into the endgame of these stories nicely.
