Seven volumes in and I am still loving this series. This collection has strong stories and some "best of" artists. I think I have seen most of them do art for Jonah Hex before and they are some of the best ones to do the character. We have a sadistic Sawbones doctor that features the return of one of Hex's old flames. we have Hex being interfered with by three strong willed females, we have a tale of some escaped convicts and general Jonah being his feisty self. Just a lot of fun.
More of Hex's backstory gets revealed. Tales from his days in the Confederate Army to a tale from his childhood. A recurring theme seemed to be the past coming back to haunt one. Dark stories, but deeply enjoyable--if sometimes disturbing.
While still entertaining, this has been my least favorite collection so far. The character is still great but I only enjoyed 1 of the 5 stories here. The art was not as good as the past books either. Overall, still worth the read but not equal to its successors.
Another collection of individual tales regarding the character of gunfighter and bounty hunter Jonah Hex. By turns, Jonah explores his harsh upbringing, drinks himself senseless, goes to bed with women of a forceful nature, and metes out his own vicious sense of justice, positive that hell awaits for him in the end. Some of the tales are not illustrated to my liking but Jonah remains the same.
Great outing for hard-boiled bounty hunter Jonah Hex, riding after the thieves and murderers inhabiting the wildest west this side of The Good, the Bad & the Ugly. And you'll find plenty of all three between these pages. The art ranges from average to outstanding. Hex is as good as ever. If you like rough and ready cowboy stories with good strong plotting you will love all of the stories within.
If the illustrations would have been nicer I would have given 4 stars.

Yet another fine edition of this western book series and it's anti-hero.
This volume runs the gamut of cheesecake bounty hunters to serial killing doctors. Doses of both fun and dark morbidity. Plus another look at Jonah's childhood.
Some of the roughest Hex stories in this series are in this volume. It's pretty good, but some of them drift a little outside the world we're used to. Not far, mind you, but enough that it doesn't feel quite the same. Not bad, but different.
First truly uneven entry in the series.

I am still really enjoying these comics. I am on to the next in the series.

The brilliance of Jonah Hex's stories, especially 'Lead Poisoning", lies in the varied tales and art work.I've collected almost all of them, and I am still wondering who IS Jonah Hex?If you want a quick peek at an uncouth and violent time period in American history, look no further.However. The question arises time and time again. What is it to be civilized?I adore and appreciate the art work due to the many artists who have collaborated on these stories! They're geniuses! The stories range from...
'Jonah Hex loathed every human soul with equal enthuiasm.' Brilliant! The last story is also a welcome addition to Jonah' origin story that covers the years of his youth and the training he got under his abusive father's guidance. Really, he couldn't have turned any other way.A misunderstanding puts Jonah between a group of black men and what will soon be the Ku Klux Klan. It's interesting to see the Klan's point of view. It's absolute ignorance and manipulation of simple minds, but it's interes...
This collection of short stories has gunfighter stories that are all over the map. As a fan of westerns, I want to like the collection more than I do.I once told a friend who was interested in the Jonah Hex comics that they are like every Clint Eastwood western. Our hero meets someone who screws him over. He catches a beating. Then he has a spiritwalk and comes out the other side to gun down the people that done him wrong.This volume has some minor variations of that plot with a surprisingly nic...
as solid a Western as there is being published in comics today, which isn't saying much I know, but still...
