The New Jonah Hex is out and it is sweet!

Last year, Marvel took a chance on the Western genre (and gay genre) with the Two Gun Kid. Not to be out done, DC countered with Jonah Hex.

In the first issue, Jonah is hired by a wealthy millionaire to find his missing son. The is a perfect introduction to Hex's world. This is not the Lone Ranger, Bonanza, or Wild, Wild West. The best description of Hex's world to view it as the Punisher set in pre-Civil War America. It is brutal and ugly where justice is scarce.

If you like the Punisher, you will like Jonah Hex. This is the first issue and a stand alone story, so give it a try. If you don't like violence, then you should steer clear of this book.
