Jonah Hex #20 - DC


This issue I thought was a little off . . . but they can't all be great. The only part I really understood about it was the gentleman who was coming after him for Hex's indiscretions against his boss. A Mister Wiley Park hired Hex, a reward actually, to return his nephews. Which he did, but after he collected a bounty on them, and . . . they were dead. So anyways, Mr. Park hires this other guy to take out Hex, and his payment in return is a stake in his Casino. But he doesn't kill him, he just beats him up pretty bad . . . and breaks both his hands. But Hex is a man that you can't keep down any other way than with a bullet in the head. Anyways, then he hooks up with this Mexican, whom he saved his life awhile ago, and he gets some help from a hooker he knows. Somehow, with the 2 of them, he ends up returning to the town, and killing Park, and his gang, when he blows up his Casino. Don't get me wrong. I still like this story. And this character. I just thought that the story was a little . . . holey. Some things were happening, we really didn't understand how or why. And we got some of the highlights, but without any of the explanation. Overall . . . I thought it was ok. It's just the effect, or technique, I thought, didn't really work. But that's just me. Hopefully the next issue will be better. I'm sure it will.
