Jonah Hex. A hideously scarred bounty hunter, Hex is pretty much the epitome of the hard-bitten bad-ass cowboy all us kids wanted to be when we grew up.

Well, I did. Minus cutting out people’s tongues and the torture that got him where he is now.

Hex is not a nice man; if you’ve done wrong, he’ll come after you — if someone cares enough to pay him. With no bounty on your head, it’s fine — but if someone wants to pay, you’re as good as dead.

This issue isn’t the best in the series — with Hex’s format being one-and-done (for the majority of the run) this one isn’t a great one for story; but it is a good one for giving a taste of the character himself. A who-gives-a-damn fellow who would as much as spit on you as look at you.

Read this one; if you don’t like it don’t buy it — but keep a lookout for Jonah Hex in future weeks. There’s always some entertainment between the covers.
