Now this is what I want to read when I think of Jonah Hex. Six gritty western tales inspired by the "Man with No Name". Luke Ross even draws Jonah as Clint Eastwood with scars. Ross's art is really damn good. This doesn't have the neutered feeling that the All-Star Western series that follows this one did.

Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti deliver the gritty, old west tales that you'd expect from Jonah Hex. Here, six tales are told and they all illustrate who Hex is. They're all separate and could have been better with a few more strings of continuity but they were all very good. Luke Ross handled most of the art chores and his art was a very good mix with the story elements. Overall, very well done.

I'm not usually into western themed books but this one was very good. Bounty hunters, gunslingers, and damsels in distress.

Good stories though I would prefer a more focused narrative as opposed to a collection of stories.

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.

While each story is a solid slice of the harsh life in the West, little is memorable in this volume. Still, it's a good introduction to the hard-as-nails Jonah Hex, a man with a strong sense of judgement and considerable skills with a gun. He is purposefully shown to not be invincible, but he never gives up a bounty and refuses to be bribed. He's a prime example of an anti-hero. You won't get any laughs from this volume, but I suppose that's fitting for the setting.Jonah Hex is hired to find a m...

An amazingly beautiful collection of short stories involving Jonah Hex, scarred bounty hunter. Each story is well-framed, unique and concise, with lovely art and a dynamic anti-hero.

This is a sublime collection of six standalone issues of the new series of Jonah Hex. The art is beautiful, the writing is solid, and the scenarios are very, very violent. Hex's hideously scarred face is truly hard to look at, but he's an old-school hero, who dispatches swift justice to evildoers in the post-Civil War old west.The touchstone is Sergio Leone's "Man With No Name" trilogy, as well as spaghetti westerns in general. Clint Eastwood is obviously the model for Luke Ross's conception of

This is an incredibly refreshing collection, in that it consists entirely of single-issue stories. Of course, that in and of itself would be worth nothing were it not for the fact that the stories included are exceptionally good. I'd never read any Jonah Hex comics (or western comics in general) before picking this book up, but now that I have, I've purchased the next two trades in the series, as well as the Showcase reprints of the original series. Not having read any western comics before this...

I'm a sucker for Jonah Hex stories and All-American Western titles. This book has some of the early issues that the series would outgrow. For me it's really weird to see Jonah drawn exactly as a copy of Clint Eastwood with the Hex scars. It nearly ruins it. Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray are the heroes though. Hex gets lots of different illustrators over time, but these two as the writers keep the quality up. They just get this title and this character. Again, I'm partial to this character so

This is pure pulp and the stories are too fragmented and short to carry much resonance. However, this a terse, hard violent re-envisioning of a 70's pulp wester comic series and I love terse, hard and violent westerns.

These are gritty Western tales starring the grotesquely scarred bounty hunter, Jonah Hex. The bad guys are ruthless and unforgiving and Jonah Hex is the guy to give out justice that is equally ruthless and unforgiving. Imagine the Punisher Western style and you'll get an idea of what you are about to read.These stories are expertly written by Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti and wonderfully drawn by Luke Ross. (Making Jonah Hex look like Clint Eastwood is a nice touch)Highly Recommended.

3.5/5 stars A collection of six different Jonah Hex stories that show u as just how badass the titular character is. Beautiful art by Luke Ross, and I love how Jonah is modeled after Clint Eastwood in these stories.

This book looks great and reads quickly, but it just didn't do it for me. It felt more like a stylish retread of generic Westerns, especially Spaghetti Westerns, but without any real original content or statement on the material, or even a clearly defined protagonist. Are we supposed to like Jonah Hex because he has a cryptic moral code and can kill people without remorse? I suspect this isn't the best book to start with, if you're unfamiliar the Jonah Hex, as it explains nothing about him, or b...

After hearing for years how enjoyable Jonah Hex is on the iFanboy podcast, I happened to see it cheap on Comixology and thought, why not? Man, I've been missing out. This is really fun. Its a grim and gritty Western telling short-form stories. Think Clint Eastwood meets Lone Wolf and Cub. In fact, the artist in most of the issues in this first volume draws Jonah like Clint Eastwood with scars. While I can't tell if the story is going to build on itself in future issues or not, even if it doesn't...

Good stories but not the best according to worth of character like Jonah Woodson Hex.

Luke Ross is the artist for five of the six stories collected here and his art looks great. He leans toward realism and I love how his Jonah Hex looks like a horribly disfigured, young Clint Eastwood. Seems appropriate for the character without being distracting. Jonah Hex co-creator Tony DeZuniga draws the other issue and his scratchier, grittier style is also very cool. I haven't checked, but I hope he came back for other issues in the series.What surprised me most about the collection is that...

The book started out poorly with the writer thinking he was a theologian when in reality he knew nothing of the Scriptures, the love of God, the power of Christ's death and resurrection that can save any and all sinners who turn to Him in faith. What has that got to do with a Jonah Hex book you say? My point exactly. Stay off stuff you know nothing about and tell a good yarn.Telling a good yarn was what they did when they stayed off of theology. I liked the fact the main artist drew Hex to look
