do you all think someone who reads mainly DC superhero comics would like the Jonah Hex ongoing series?

(i did order the Jonah Hex Showcase, can't wait until it comes in the mail. it looked unlike the majority of comics DC publishes today, so i picked it up)

Aw, you beat me to it Bri. And I was hoping to goof off for a bit. smile

Sad to see Lucas leave already but this title is still near the top for me. Can wait to see what a "done in one" two-parter looks like.

I long for the days where writers could tell a story in one issue but used subplots to link stories to a greater whole. THE PEGASUS PROJECT storyline in Marvel Two-in-One is a classic example. Every story could stand alone on its own merit, but there was the overarching story as well.

I have a TPB for the PP storyline. Don't know if it's still in print, but it's worth checking out if you get a chance. Mostly Perez artwork, some (classic tongue ) Byrne. Lotsa fun. nod

Ish #7 came out today, and it was Ross's farewell. A great story for it, he gave us some nice panels of the requisite gunfight. GrayPal told a rather tragic romance story this time around. It certainly had that Hex feel to it tho'.

I picked up issue number 8 today. It was good - but I think this is my last issue. The plots are good - but the character development is non-existent. The plot and artwork are good, but the lack of subplots is killing this series for me.

I read somewhere on one of the con reports this weekend how DiDio 'traded' Deadman to the Vertigo universe in order to get Hex back into the DCU proper. I'm glad he did. Out of the three big relaunches of old titles I was eager for (Hex, Moon Knight and the Warlord), Hex is by far my favorite. MK is good, not as good as Hex, but good. And Warlord has already been dropped.

Assuming he doesn't cross-over with the modern heroes, why would it matter where he was? I know Vertigo has a rep for being "mature" but would it really make a difference with how GrayPal are writing this?

The same goes for Deadman...

And ish #10 came out. Phil Noto handle the art on this gruesome tale. We have Hex, scarred and ugly. We have a family full of nasty. Noto's a good artist, be he seemed too polished to really convey the ugly in this gruesome tale.

Still a great read tho'. This book, FELL, and She-Hulk are some great examples of done in one issues. I wish there were more books like this.

'Gazer, Paul Gulacy did the art for recent issue. It's not Ross, but it's equally appealing.

For all of you wanting a meatier story...

We have the 3 part origin of Hex. And it's out creeping any horror book on the stands. We get a story behind the scar, and we get Jonah taking care of business. It's brutal, in a wild west way.

This should be in DC's top 10.

The awesomeness of Jonah Hex needs to be discussed more!

So what did you guys think of the three-parter?

I thought it was awesome. It was done very differently from what I (and I expect others) would have expected.

It really conveys the sense of 'savagery' (not that I have that in quotes) that was the Old West, in that the Chief who had come to be like a father to Hex was the one who scarred him so badly.

Graypal really show Hex to be a realistic replica of the standard man of the Wild West--tragic, birthed in pain and suffering and with only the slightest bit of justice in his veins.

I love this comic. Great origin story, and the art by Jordi Bernet (who I absolutely LOVE) was awesome.

They just wrapped up the grimmest HEX story ever. We got a two parter about a woman more scarred than Jonah. Talullah Black lives her surname, she's been treated rough, vows to see it through, and even charms Hex. This is a woman to watch for...

Yeah, I just finished reading it. Pretty awesome.

And I was glad that she lived in the end. Too good a character to have died in this story.

I'm a week behind here.

The recent issue was one of the most disturbing yet. Hex gets caught up in a little family fued. And in a twist inspired by LOST, our hero finds himself on the wrong side doing the right thing.

GrayPal have brought the wild west back.

We're treated to another artist, who does a fine job detailing this story. It was almost a little too pretty given the subject, but it works. I've been enjoying the different artists for each arc. They all bring something and we never really worry about delays.

I've been loving this series from the get go and this issue is no different. but man was it disturbing.

I really liked how at first Hex didn't care about the girl, than he thought she was telling the truth so against his better judgement he got involved, then he realized she was crazy and all he could do was say I'm sorry. I thought that was a great scene there. Then he leaves behind the money, I thought that was great also because even though it doesn't really fix anything, Jonah is trying.

And the laughing at God thing, I suppose if you see something that twisted you kinda have to.

Another great issue!


Long Live the Legion!

New issue this week #20. It's a great done in one story. If you've been reading the series, you'll see connection to a previous story, but it's not required. Someone jumps Hex and warns him to stay out of their town after roughing him up a bit. Jonah doesn't do what he's told.

This is Jonah Hex, this is a western, it's simple stories, it's an ongoing series. It's everything you want in a comic book.
