The Trial of Jonah Hex
After the events of last issue, Jonah Hex decides that even with the War 10 years behind him, he'd best square away his past.
Thus it is that Jonah Hex travels all the way from Red Rock, Texas to Richmond, Virginia to reconcile with Mr. Turnbull and set the record straight. Trouble is that he decides to put off visiting Turnbull's plantation until the morning, and when he goes for a drink (at the Robert E. Lee Tavern, no less), he's recognized and all the patrons and the bartender leave. When word reaches Turnbull that Hex is in town, he has Hex abducted and put on 'trial' in a kangaroo court with members of his old platoon as jurors.
This is a great issue dealing with Jonah Hex's past. The artwork is excellent, including several large half page scenes - one in particular of Hex haunted by his past while drinking in the Robert E. Lee is particularly fantastic. My one comment about the art is that, while I don't mind them switching artists on this book (George Moliterni is back this issue), since all the Jonah Hex artists have been great - I do wish they wouldn't switch artists mid-story arc like they did this time (last issue was by Noly), I much prefer the arcs have a coherency of style. That's not a huge problem though, just a personal preference.
Weird Western Tales Presents Jonah Hex may not be one of the top 10 greatest comics series ever - but it's easy to see with stories like this why the character has endured.
