Ok, in all honesty I'm not too fond of licensed stuff like this or the Highlander comic.  In the case of The Man With No Name, regardless of how good of a writer or artist you have on the book, you don't have Clint Eastwood, Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, etc... so it's just never going to feel right.  To be fair, it's not impossible to do a licensed property justice, as Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith managed to get the right look and feel for Conan, but how the heck could you ever translate someithing like Morricone's music to a comic book?  It can't be done, and that alone would make it nigh impossible for a Man With No Name comic to ever feel like anything other than a pale imitation.  Still, you gotta love some of the art at least (even though I'm getting a little tired of seeing Marvel Zombie type varient covers on comics these days):

That looks better than the Marvel Zombies stuff.

On that same not, about 5x lamer.
