Overview
From Nexus co-creator Mike Baron—Crotalus: Cold Blood, a Native American Western standalone GN with Navajo lawman Cheveyo. Art by Gleidson Ribeiro (Brazil).
Cheveyo is a Navajo lawman in the New Mexico Territory, walking the line between law and reckoning in a country that doesn't always know the difference. He rides Blucifer—a mustang with more spirit in him than horse—and he answers to the rattlesnake the territory named him for. From Sister Laura Passini's mission school to the Capitan Mountains, Cheveyo's hunt crosses paths with Bidzill, Chango Alvarado, and the gunman they call Crackshot McFadden—a revenge Western in the grand spaghetti-Western tradition, told with cold patience, a long memory, and a rattlesnake's sense of timing.
A standalone, self-contained graphic novel and a clean entry point—written by Mike Baron, the co-creator of Nexus, creator of The Badger, writer of the first ongoing Punisher series at Marvel, and one of American comics' longest-running professional voices, five decades in. No capes and no crossover homework—Crotalus: Cold Blood stands alone at the Western end of the Rippaverse list, the publisher's follow-up lane to Baron's Goodyng. 56 pages, on sale 10/27/26.
