Rock me Amadeus 2
What can be said about a western book in 2011. I hate to say in the back of my head I feel that without the movie "True Grit" this book would never have been made, that's not really a bad thing. Where this book shines is with the people around Hex. Hex himself is not all that complicated, like most gunmen he is a brooding cowboy with a chip on his shoulder the size of a Bengal Tiger. However the villains of this book, the creepy death cult people and the kidnappers are what draws me as a reader....

Another location in mind 0
The ambiance is still here in this issue, but it feels more like a transitional issue than one meant to elicit a huge reaction. In answer to the cliffhanger of the previous issue the action here is mostly top heavy occurring as it does mostly near the beginning. This leads to seemingly the end of the line for Jonah's adventures in Gotham especially so with the aftermath of the second short action segment in the middle of the issue. As Jonah is about to leave town though with the Religion of C...

No News Is Good 0
The Story: Jonah Hex endures another attack while in Old Gotham shortly after bringing the Gotham Butcher to justice. My Thoughts:This series started off with a bang and quickly became a favorite of mine. Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti make such a great creative team and really know how to write Jonah Hex. I don't want it to sound as if I thought this issue was horrible, but right now this series is feeling as if it would be better off read as a trade. I'm sort of losing that excitement I fel...

A brief lull 0
Art - The art of this book varies between over-detailed and over simplified while still over detailed and while ugly stylistically it is fairly average. There is a few problems with it like when the girl gets shot it looks like she gets shot in the head rather than in the back or something. The second story of El Diablo has consistent above average art in all aspects though.Story - This is an anti-climatic necessary link issue that isn't all that great, but without it you'd lose the story. Even ...

An Odd Middle 0
The Good: While the big bold text almost ruins an otherwise incredible use of white space, I look at it, and it forms Batman's head, with the guns as his ears. This works well with the great 'King of Hell' metaphor thing I talked so much about from the last issue. This issue comes at a very odd point. It's a transitional issue that contains the climax of the Gotham Ripper story, a hook that makes it clear that the Ripper was only a small part of the larger Religion of Crime leviathan, and the st...

The Bounty and the Sacrifice 0
Recommended!The Bounty - This picks up right from the cliffhanger in the last issue - and Jonah is in a heap of trouble! This day was not a good day for him to die, and so the plot moves on. There is much more death, much more blood and a bit more suspense. In the end, Jonah is presented with just what he has been looking for since arriving in old Gotham. Classically, he provides a cordial introduction...The Sacrifice - This story picks up right where it ended in the last issue. El Diablo will u...
