I grew up reading Jonah Hex in 1970's in the pages of Weird Western Tales. You must understand the westerns I grew up on was John Wayne, The Lone Ranger, Wagon Train and the Virigian. It was later that I discover the Magnificent Seven and the Clint Eastwood Man with No Name series of films. My very first exposing to the idea of the anti-hero was Hex.
In this graphic novel,the lucky reader has a rewritten original more suited to HEX, the bounty hunter and the man. In this graphic novel, which reprints three comic novellas, we are reintroduced to Jonah Hex. Thosde who do not know the comic nor the character will enjoy the intro to him.
The writing is crisp and to the point, not like a monthly comic more like a well told novel. The art is the stuff you frame when buying an uncolored one sheet at auction. (Does anyone know if this art is available to buy, I would love a piece from this Hex book)
Those who bought Showcase Presents: Jonah Hex, Vol. 1 would not be disappointed. Hex seems gritter for the times. Jimmy Palmiotti is an able scribe, similar to John Byrne when he rewrote the Man of Steel origins(Superman: The Man of Steel, Vol. 1
So if you like the anti-hero western, pick this up. If you have not tried Jonah Hex, start with this one. Worth five stars in my book

This third volume of Jonah Hex is the strongest yet in this new series. I enjoyed the previous two volumes. I enjoyed all the artists that have worked on all three volumes. It would be nice to see a Joe Kubert or John Severin illustrate some Jonah stories.

Being a big fan of Jonah Hex from way back in the 70's, I wanted to see what the new update would look like. After all, the character was nearly killed off in the 80's when he started fighting monsters and demons. Now Jonah is back as the western (anti-) hero he was supposed to be (though the Albano stories are still unbeatable).
I was a little disappointed with the very first two books, as most of the artists where a let down and incapable of drawing a decent western (jeesh, isn't there a single artist nowadays who can draw a horse?). But with the third volume we get at least an artist who can draw westerns (Torpedo's Jordi Bernet). The storyline which goes through three chapters, takes us back to when Jonah was a kid and of how he got his scarred face (and no, he wasn't kicked by a mule).
For old fans like me, there is nothing new on the horizon, as this story was already told before (and much better) by Michael Fleischer. However, we can see that DC has taken an interest in bringing the character back again the way he was meant to be, instead of transforming him into some sort of futuristic superhero. Also, this time around he at least speaks in his southern western drawl (as opposed to the modern PC English he spoke in the very first two volumes).
The other two artists in the volume are worthless, the second one faring only slightly better than an inept artist called Phil Noto.
Now DC, how about getting Russ Heath out of retirement and have him draw a story?
