Comics Review: "SAVAGE DIRT AXES" - Cowboys and Indignant Monsters

SAVAGE DIRT AXES
CANDLE LIGHT PRESS

STORY: Will Beard
ART: Will Beard
LETTERS/PRODUCTION: John Ira Thomas
MISC. ART: Carter Allen; Will Grant
ISBN: 978-0-9743147-0-9; paperback (2025)
60pp, B&W, $10.00 U.S.

Savage Dirt Axes is a 2025 original graphic novel from writer-artist Will Beard.  Published as a paperback original with black and white interior art by Candle Light Press, Savage Dirt Axes is set in the 19th century Old West and focuses a ragtag band of friends fighting a monster invasion.  John Ira Thomas joins Will Beard as the story's letter.

Savage Dirt Axes opens with two cowboys – the stoic and stern, Rhett, and the somewhat cowardly young fella, Billy – ready to close out their day.  They head on over to visit some roughneck pals, Ottis and Rex.  Billy also hopes to meat his girlfriend, Josie, the daughter of Rex.

However, it turns out that Rex is missing, and the search for him takes the group right into a confrontation with a herd of monstrous, demonic, and gigantic creatures, which one of them call “dirt axes.”  Can the cowboys, ornery old dudes, and one gal stop a monster invasion or will they end up being meat for the beast – just like the cattle?

THE LOWDOWN:  Will Beard is a budding master of the weird Western comic book.  In collaboration with writer John Ira Thomas, he drew the hardcover original graphic novel, Dan Callahan and the Sand Pirates.  Also, Savage Dirt Axes reminds me of the 1999 weird Western original graphic novel, Red Range: A Wild Western Adventure, from writer Joe R. Lansdale and artist Sam Glanzman.

In Savage Dirt Axes, Beard has fashioned a weird Western comic book that is first and foremost set firmly in the Western fiction genre.  Secondly, the monsters are genuinely scary and practically impossible to defeat, yet they don't feel out of place in or contrived for this story.  I had a blast riding along with our heroes as they fight to save their lives.

I also like that Beard embraces the weird fiction roots of comic books and goes wild, weird, and wonderful on this story that doesn't try to make scientific sense.  Savage Dirt Axes is pure comic book fun; it is a pure monster comic.  Dear readers, you can enjoy the fun by finding the Candle Light Press table at any conventions they attend.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of the weird western will want to try Savage Dirt Axes.

NEWS AND RUMORS:

COMICS - From BleedingCool:  "Star Wars: Shadow of Maul" is a five-issue comic book miniseries that will act as a prequel to upcoming Disney+ animated series, "Maul - Shadow Lord."  The comic book is written by Benjamin Percy and drawn by Madibek Musabekov, and the first issue arrives March 2026.

FRANCHISE - From YahooTotalFilm:  Despite working on Star Wars properties since "The Phantom Menace," Lucasfilm design director Doug Chiang says that only George Lucas truly knows what Star Wars design is. "I don’t always get it 100 per cent right."

COMICS - From BleedingCool:  Artist Taurin Clarke is Marvel Comics' "Star Wars Black History Month" cover artist for February 2026.

From BleedingCoolAhmed Best, the voice actor best known for the role of "Jar Jar Binks" in the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy, will co-write an official Star Wars Jar Jar Binks comic book for Marvel Comics.  The one-shot comic book is due February 2026 and will be co-written by Marc Guggenheim and illustrated by Kieran McKeown and Laura Braga.

From FlickeringMythDark Horse Comics has announced that it will return to the High Republic era of "Star Wars" next year with the six-issue limited series, "Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures – Pathfinders."  The series will be written by George Mann ("Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories – Qui-Gon") and drawn by Partha Pratim, Jagdish Kumar, and Michael Atiyeh ("Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch").  The first issue is scheduled to arrive March 11, 2026.

THE MANDALORIAN - From YouTubeLucasfilm has released the first official trailer for "The Mandalorian and Grogu," which is due in theaters May 22, 2026.

STARFIGHTER - From IGN:  Lucasfilm offers a new set photo from "Star Wars: Starfighter," featuring cast members, Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray. The film is due May 28, 2027.

From THR:  The latest Star Wars movie, "Star Wars: Starfighter," started shooting on Thursday (Aug. 28th) in the U.K.  Lucasfilm marked the ocassion by releasing an image of star Ryan Gosling and new cast member, Flynn Gray, in front of a speeder.  Lucasfilm also revealed the latest additions to the cast.  Including Flynn Gray, they are Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams.  The film is being directed by Shawn Levy and stars Ryan Gosling. Mia Goth and Matt Smith were already revealed to be in the cast, playing villains.

From DeadlineMatt Smith ("Doctor Who") will star alongside Ryan Gosling as a villain in the "Star Wars" film, "Star Wars: Starfighter," which is scheduled for a 2027 release.

ANDOR - From StarWars"Andor" Season 2 won five Emmy Awards at the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards, including the coveted "Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series" won by Dan Gilroy for the episode, "Welcome to the Rebellion."

THE FUTURE - From NexusPoints:  The website says that the working title of Taika Waititi's "Star Wars" film is "Cosmic Doom" and the production name is "Ghost Truck 6." Such names are often given in order to put off people trying to get spoilers, but I think that this no longer works.

OBIT - From TheWrap:  English film and television actor, Kenneth Colley, has died at the age of 87, Monday, June 30, 2025.  Colley may be best known to fans for playing the role of Admiral Piett in "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) and in "Return of the Jedi" (1983).  He also played "Jesus" in "Monty Python's Life of Bryan" (1979).  He belonged to director Ken Russell's repertory of actors from the 1970s to the 1990s, appearing in such Russell's films as "The Music Lovers" (1971), "The Devils" (1971), and "The Rainbow" (1989), to name a few.  He also appeared in Russell's TV films, "Prisoner of Honor" (1991) and "The Secret Life of Arnold Bax" (1992).

A NEW HOPE - From Variety:   Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy made a surprise appearance on opening night (Thursday, June 12, 2025) of the BFI Film on Film Festival in London, where the ultra-rare, original first print of George Lucas' “Star Wars” was being screened. The BFI’s shocking discovery of the print and the announcement that it would be screened publicly caused a stir among “Star Wars” fans earlier this year, as Lucas has always been vocal about his dislike of the print and famously went on to tinker with the movie. 

COMICS - From Here:  Leroy Douresseaux a.k.a. "I Reads You" reviews the Marvel Comics' "Star Wars #2."

ANDOR - From ComicBookMovie:  "Andor" showrunner Tony Gilroy talks about struggling to get the budgets he needed to produce Andor, which apparently cost 650 million dollars over two seasons.  Also, he said Disney execs told him "streaming is dead."

OBITUARY - From Deadline:  Welsh art director and production designer for films, Leslie "Les" Dilley, has died at the age of 84, Monday, May 20th, 2025.  Dilley won the Oscar for "Best Art Direction" for "Star Wars" (1977) and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), sharing both honors with the late Norman Reynolds.  He also received "Best Art Direction" Oscar nominations for his work on "Alien" (1979). "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980), and "The Abyss" (1989). 

DARTH VADER - From THRSAG-AFTRA files unfair labor practice charge over "Darth Vader" AI voice in the game, "Fortnite."  The union claims that Llama Productions failed to notify the labor group and negotiate when it began employing a "James Earl Jones" voice that replaced the work of members. Jones, who died last year, granted Disney rights to use his voice posthumously.

ANDOR - From IGN:  The website explains the ending of the Disney+/Lucasfilm series, "Andor" Season 2.

COMICS - From HereLeroy Douresseaux has reviewed Marvel's new "Star Wars #1."

JOHN BOYEGA - From VarietyJohn Boyega addresses the Sith elephant in the "Star Wars" room.  To racist white fans of "Star Wars," there is no room for a black heroes

OBIT - From Variety:  New Zealand actor of the stage, musical theater, and film and television, Clive Revill, died at the age of 94, Tuesday, March 11, 2025.  He provided the voice of "The Emperor" in the original theatrical release of 1980s' "The Empire Strikes Back."  Revill was twice nominated for a Tony Award, "Best Featured Actor for a Musical" for his role in the original 1961 Broadway production of "Irma La Douce" and "Best Actor in a Musical" for his role in the original 1963 Broadway production of "Oliver!"

The series will reintroduce characters like Mon Mothma and Beilert Valance, among others.
