All Star Western #2

durakken's All Star Western #2 - Showdown at House Arkham; El Diablo, Part 1 review

A hex on westerns makes them good?

So as I approached this booked I feared being bored despite knowing the last book was well done for it's target demographic. I began to read and found this issue to be far easier to read and funner than the last issue. This book has gone from a book I'm pretty sure would be enjoyable for it's target audience to a book that I could see picking up because it is a good book to read for anyone who picks it up, especially if you have an interest in Gotham... though there is no guarantee that the book will stay in gotham I hope it does. Last month's issue seemed to be over compensating with text, though none badly done or out of place where as this month the Palmiotti is showing that he doesn't need to have walls of text with several pages of action and no dialogue.

I hope this books just gets better and better so that i can say I don't hate all "westerns"

The Good: There's a few things that set this cover apart from being the 'standard action cover' this almost is. One is the continued amazing contrast between the cover and interior art despite being the same artist, another is the skull logo in the background, hiding just out of clear sight behind the chaotic combat being unleashed by their very enemy, Jonah Hex. The artwork manages to avoid being a one-hit wonder when it starts to add a little more detail and doesn't wash with full color as muc...
