With the situation at Black Rock contained and behind her, Wynonna Earp and her crew have headed back to the Earp homestead. Wynonna and her sister Waverly are catching up, Doc Holliday and Valdez are now running Shorty’s Bar, Agent Dolls has been named Field Commander in Purgatory, and Officer Haught is also working in town as a field officer. 

Since things seem to be going well, this would be the perfect time for a guy with blood dripping from his saturated shirt to stumble into Shorty’s with a request to see Wynonna. It turns out, she knows the injured man, why he’s in town, and the people that will soon be looking for her. 

Wynonna Earp Season Zero is a five-issue series that kicks off a new adventure for the heroine, written by series creator Beau Smith and Tim Rozon, who played Doc Holliday in the TV show. Readers are treated to some of Wynonna’s past with plenty more to come. The question is – are they revenants or just bad bikers? 

The series starts with a few comfy, slice of life pages, an interesting backstory, and having the whole Earp team together led to some comical arguing between the strong willed demon hunters. As the story progresses, it’s part comical reunion, part comical fistfight, and part hype for battle – basically the ingredients that make the title so much fun. 

It’s obvious that writers Smith and Rozon work well together. Season Zero is a lot of fun, depicting the bond that Wynonna and her people share, combined with great action and some very tough, if occasionally comical, one liners from this crew.   

The art by Angel Hernandez is descriptive where it counts, yet doesn’t focus too much on the extraneous details that can pull the eye away from the central conflict. Jay Fotos’ colors are spot on for this title, keeping things earthy and tonally appropriate without being muted or too dark. 

This series comes with photographic variant covers of the TV show cast. The standout is the issue one Derby City Comic Con variant featuring Smith and Rozon. Not only is this a rare time that a comic writer appears on a cover, the photo comes from Smith’s guest appearance on the TV show based on his creation.
