Wynonna Earp is now well into its second season on the SyFy channel, and earning well-deserved rave reviews - it's a great blend of action, horror, humor and a terrific cast - and on the comics side, writer / creator Beau Smith has been nudging his series a bit to line it up with the TV show.
It wasn't a long trip, mostly involving moving the setting for the series to Wynonna's hometown of Purgatory, and bringing in the TV supporting cast, including her sister Waverly, the immortal Doc Holliday, Officer Haught, Black Badge Agent Dolls, and the warrior woman Valdez (who isn't on the show but should be).
Oh, and Wynonna is now a brunette (that was an easy fix).
The current storyline takes advantage of the "limitless budget" in comics to give us - for the first time ever - a look at Wynonna's earliest days after leaving Purgatory, introducing the unique, tough-as-nails "family" she ran with.
With lives in danger, Wynonna must work with her ongoing (and yes, somewhat dysfunctional) family to go to war.
The story is by Smith and Tim Rozon, who plays Doc on the show, and it's a hard-hitting blast from Wynonna's past.
The art is by Angel Hernandez, and it's terrific, combining sweeping vistas with smashmouth action and great character depictions.
It's a strong story that will delight fans of both the TV show and the comic!
Grade: A

Wynonna Earp is one of the most fun hours on TV. The only show that comes close to that perfect mix of horror and humor is Ash v the Evil Dead.
I agree, Kevin - it's rude, nasty and a lot of fun!
