razzatazz's All Star Western #3 - No News is Good; El Diablo, Part 2 review

Another location in mind

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 Crime still active but his bounties settled a chain of events conspire to keep him there a while longer.  This was an entertaining issue, just it suffered from a lack of focus at times.  The series is still heading in the right direction and this issue might be the one to set the pace for a good issue down the line but this issue is itself not good, and is only a little better than average.

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 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...
