A violent Western, the bad guys always get justice. I particularly liked the kids tellling tales about Jonah story. Fun.
The team of Gray and Palmiotti continue their strong run on the title. While these TPBs are compilations of the monthly issues, and those are very much self-contained, Hex remains more of a catalyst to the situation than the central character. I believe that this is both the book's and character's strength. Sometimes characters, or a story thread from a previous issue, is brought back but in such a manner that if you did not read that prior issue you can still enjoy the story you are reading. Fo...
It’s difficult to be apathetic when reading a Jonah Hex book, no matter the author or collaborative artist.Each tale of his life is filled with tragedy. I think that’s why, when happiness and good fortune do shine upon the head of Hex, the reader becomes even more allured, knowing for one instance that shared comradeship we all have with life, love, laughter, loss, death and tears.As always, 5 stars. It’s a given.
The last in Gray and Palmiotti's series of self-contained stories featuring the miscreant Jonah Hex. The stories vary in quality and art but overall are worth a read if you're a fan of Western comics.
Another excellent selection of tales, though not as strong as earlier trades I think.
I wanted for a time now to get my hands on Jonah Hex's comics. I love the character from the animated shows and tv series where he was just a minor character.This is different from comics with superheroes. This is a pure western fiction with everything a western should have. This is more of a compilation of stories than an overall arc with a continuing storyline. I gave it 4/5 because most stories had different style from each other and some, I did not like as much. The stories were good though....
Just more good western stories the last couple I did find a little confusing but still fun stuff
This first half of this was simply spectacular! The second half was good. Palmiotti and Gray make you respect Hex even though he's despicable most of the time. The art was very good here. Another very good read in a stellar series.
As with this entire series, just quality fun stories.
The tales in this volume are still gritty and grim. There are no laughs, but there is a weird type of justice. More of the eye-for-an-eye type of justice. Hex lives to his own ideals. He's no hero, but he'll have to do.
Jonah is a bit more sadistic than usual in the dynamite story. He takes great pleasure in blowing up some criminals as they scream their innocence. Later on his peculiar brand of justice made me laugh. He doesn't mind working for white men and natives alike, if they have the money for his services. Jonah's stories have gotten to the point of myth and are sometimes exaggerated, especially by the more impressionable youths. He is hated by many, but with great gunslinging skill, an eye for people a...
The longer the run goes, the softer Hex gets. JH shouldn't be soft.
Comic books are a marriage of 2 arts. And any good comic book or graphic novel will be a perfect compliment of both, one not detracting from the other but enhancing it. And in this book, we get some good, solid writing that is completely muted by the entirely incompetent artwork. It doesn't matter that it has a great set of stories, that the narrative is driven. Not when the artwork is so poorly composed on the page. Because when the artwork is this bad, that's all I can focus on. And that's all...
Incredible, hope to write a full review later.
Great, great art all way through, no matter that the variety of artists is vast, still great.I'm just getting tired of these one shots. I really want longer storylines.
After ten volumes you'd have thunk an avid comics reader like me who has read close to 10 000 comics in his life would have grown weary of this series, but nah. I reckon not. I don't know how Justin and Jimmy keep it so fresh after 60 issues but they do. It helps they have a bunch of amazing artists to help them out and in this issue the art on the final issue by Brian Stelfreeze (his name is new to me but the art is the most impressive I have ever seen - ever panel could be a picture in a frame...
Solid western pulp.
