This book - the second trade (yeah, I'm way behind) - wasn't nearly as good as the first. The script in DeZuniga's story was difficult to follow, and I didn't care for David Michael Beck's art in the El Diablo issue. Phil Noto's issue remained pretty good due to a strong script and decent artwork. Paul Gulacy and Luke Ross's chapters managed to be both well written and well drawn, and were subsequently the highlights of the book.

Six, stand alone, hard bitten tales of one of the baddest sumbitches to travel the Old West. Gray and Palmiotti don't pull any punches, these stories are full of evil bastards.

This issue give us a story featuring El Diablo and I always find those interesting as it confronts Hex with the morality of what he does. Some brutal stories in this volume and it's pretty unflinching. Again, I'm a sucker for Jonah Hex so take this with a grain of salt.

Jonah Hex is a fouled mouth, surly bounty hunter in the old wild wild west. Despite appearing to having no moral codes, he is the messaih for the weak, oppressed and the poor. This volume is a collection of stories of Jonah Hex and the various adventures he has on the road. Its like the Lone wolf and cub in the wild west. Good adventures that make you turn the pages. The first story "One Wedding and Fifty Funerals"is fantastic and sets the tempo for the rest of the book. In between, "Gator bait"...

Jonah Hex is an old west Punisher/the Man with no name [a la Clint Eastwood] combination. Like the outlaw Josey Wales he stills wears the colors of the south from the War Between the States but he is no Rebel with a cause.This is not a kid's graphic novel... much too graphic for that.

Jonah Hex comes off as more opportunistic this time around. He is a bounty hunter, though. His sense of justice is still there in a series on one-shots that are more daring in terms of plot.The massacre at a wedding attended by Jonah Hex is truly a sight to behold. If only the story made more sense.Then he settles a matter between a group of Germans and a bounty hunter friend of his after the latter accidentally kills one of their children when he 'only' intended to rape the child's mother. That...

Six gritty, brutal and violent stories set in the wild west showing why one shouldn't mess with Jonah Hex. The writing is consistently fun and engaging. There are different artists for each of the stories and the art in some of them are sadly, below average.

Still would like to read longer story lines. But your normal violent fun with some great art.

After really enjoying the first volume, this one was a little disappointing. The stories lean into the Weird West but it wasn't really the kind of Weird West I would prefer (it was a bit too mundane). I found the out of sequence story telling to be a little confusing here at times too. When you couple that with different and I would argue not as appealing art, I found this volume to be pretty average. Hopefully future volumes can recapture the magic from the first volume.

Really just as good as the first but the formula and Hex's character are starting to wear thin. It seems like the same one or two stories over and over with new(admittedly cool) settings. I wanted to stop but kept coming back.

I liked it. It's not like it was a real page-turner or anything. It was fun. Good ol'Jonah killing bad people and getting in trouble.Nice artwork. Sometimes good sometimes mediocre but overall nice stuff. I'd recommend this to people who are either fun of Jonah Hex or Westerns in general.

Old Fashioned Comic fun - each issue in the collection a complete story and the few recurring characters are kept fresh and interesting through sparse use. ** Reading through the whole run so the same review will be used for most.

I believe you will either be intrigued by Jonah Hex or you will detest him. Falling in love is almost out of the question... but I've only read two books.I do find him fascinating and enjoy the stories of the West. The strength, the bravery, the loyalty are traits that helped solidify the Western states. The cowards, the crime, the cruelty were held in check by the law. I suppose in many cases, if the law wasn't good enough, people such as Hex were called upon.Human nature doesn't change. Only t...

Gray and Palmiotti have such a great handle on the character of Jonah Hex. Reading their Hex feels...right. The book is setup with different artists handling different stories issue to issue and its a perfect fit for the series. The art obviously varies but overall, its very good. While the issues are separate the same themes and elements are present. The dialogue is fun and Hex is who he is. Very fun read.

Dagnabit! If this ain't dah best durn cowboy comic West of the Pecos than ah'll eat muh hat!Highly Recommended!

Man, Jonah Hex is a cool character. Another solid volume.

This collection contains one of my favourite Jonah-stories: "Gettin' Un-Haunted". In that story a little girl gets shot while Jonah tries to capture some bad guys. I like it how her death somewhat haunts him and how he tries to make his peace with the girl's mother who blames him for her death.And then there is this great story with El Diablo: "The Hangin' Tree". I especially like the scene at the end when Jonah asks Lazarus how many times he has to tell him that they aren't friends and Lazarus

I echo other reviewers - good fun. 6 stand alone stories of Jonah Hex with different artists all of whom turn in great work. Jonah reminds me as kind of a Parker character (from Richard Stark novels) but instead of a criminal he is a bounty hunter tracking down criminals. Like Parker he is pretty unkillable, he doesn't have time for sentimentality, he has an objective and he does it in the most direct way. I beleive there is supposed to be something mystic about him but it never shows up in the

These Jonah Hex stories are all pretty much the same so far, first volume and this one. They're good stories, not really following a longer plot like maybe I would like or am used to though. More like short story volumes.
