This collection is worth buying for the Darwyn Cooke cover and its corresponding story inside; Hex all covered in snow. Illustrating weather effects are notoriously difficult to render and it is something some modern artists avoid. With this striking cover, Cooke shows that he is a master of his art.This trade paperback has six stories inside done by a different artist. Aside from the aforementioned Cooke, the line-up included J.H. Williams III, Paulo Siqueira, Jordi Bernet, Mark Sparacio and Ra...
I get it now. I understand now why this series is so highly acclaimed. Intense stories and (mostly) great art. And there's a Darwyn Cooke drawn story even!
Some of the "wordiest" Hex stories to date in this one. Also some of the most oddly compelling. This is a pretty good volume overall, but harder to pin down maybe. Still - easily recommended.
More hard-bitten tales featuring Jonah Hex. The one drawn by Darwyn Cooke is worth the price of admission alone.
A skilled robber has gotten everyone in town convinced he is just a drunkard. Jonah settles the score in the funniest way possible. (view spoiler)[He considers taking him back to town to be punished, but, given the robber's image as a no-good drunk, decides on a bullet to his head instead. (hide spoiler)]A jealous husband who wants his wife's lover dead has a interesting view on the brutality of bullfights. (view spoiler)[His request for Jonah is refused, but he pushes the matter until he dies a...
Jonah Hex is one of the best comics on the stands these days, seriously, and this collection has one of the best stories yet, in my opinion - "The Hunting Trip" with art by Darwyn Cooke is incredible.
Art saved a lot in this one. Such a great collection of different artists. Sadly, the stories did not live up to art all the time. Some were too talkative, some just boring. But fear not, there were good ones also.
Another very good entry into the Jonah Hex series. You'd think that these books would get repetitive but Gray and Palmiotti have a wealth of stories to tell. Here, we get standouts like Red Mask, Hunting Trip, and Crude Offer. Added to the normal artistic talent were legends Darwyn Cooke and J.H. Williams III. Very good read!
Issue #33 in this collection is one of the best Hex stories ever told, all the more memorable for it's point of view and prose-heavy style. ...but then issue #36 is one of the worst, with piss-poor, muddy art alongside an overwrought and poorly reasoned and delivered psychological exploration of JH's Southern Service in the the Civil War.
Artwork: Above average to excellent.Story: Very good. I am happy they (DC) Started to do western comics. It is good storytelling it is rugged and telling the story becomes that much better. Sadly I only have one more of these trade paperbacks left and I love the look as well as the story content.

First, I love the work by Jordi Bernet, JH Williams and Darwyn Cooke. Paolo Sequeira does a solid job. Mark Sparacio and Rafa Garres didn't do much for me.The scripts were mostly solid, but I particularly enjoyed the story (ironically drawn by Garres, the worst of the six artists) dealing with Hex's civil war coat and the racial tensions in the post-Civil War South. Palmiotti and Gray work in some good twists, but some of the stories are over-written - and oddly, one (Sparacio's) is under-writte...
Man that Darwyn Cooke issue is worth the price of this TPB all by itself. Brilliant.
He remains dark, gritty, and unlikable. He works at it. He does not care about anything or anyone. Except when he does. He lives his life to a code he himself has come up with and enforces. This is a well written and well drawn book.
Just loving this Jonah Hex series and so far this has been my favourite. Full applause for the writers putting in such effort to make every story unique while keeping Jnah's character consistent. 6 volumes in and I never know where a story will go but it is always entertaining. With amazing art (the Darwyn Cooke one is a classic) this is a must read for any comic book lover.
Another great volume of Jonah Hex along with a wonderfully illustrated tale by Darwyne Cooke!Highly recommended!
Lika bra som vanligt. Det är svårt att ge högre betyg än tre för temat upprepar sig hela tiden. Men en mer grym och samtidigt rättrådig serie än denna finns inte.
Definitely my favorite of this series. At least, so far.
Knowing nothing about Jonah Hex, I decided to check out this trade paperback and learn about this story world.I consider that time wasted. The character is ill-conceived and pointless, the stories were highly improbable (even in a fictional setting), and the writing was so poor as to be insulting. Jonah Hex was a regular guy who was forced to fight in the Confederate army, which he now punishes himself for, roaming aimlessly all over North America (he wears his heavy wool uniform in Mexico and k...
More wonderful tales and stories of the anti-hero, bounty hunter, Jonah Hex.
