Review #138: Jonah Hex #12
People are always on about ninjas and robots and pirates. Fuck them. It’s all about cowboys. I’ve read this series from the start and even some of the older ones from the 60’s. I’ve learned one thing about Jonah Hex and that’s that he’s all about the money. People will beg him to help them, but he usually only does if there’s something in it for him. Luckily for those in distress, the writers always have a way of making that work out. In this issue, a group of mormons living in the hills are hiding from townsfolk who want them dead. Hex gets caught up in the middle. He helps the mormons, killing all the bounty hunters from town, and as uaual, gets something in return. I think it’s a deed to land so he can sell it.
This issue was cool, with some awesome gun and knife fights, but I doubt I will see anything as cool as issue 10, when Hex feeds an old lady to an aligator.
