Yet another book written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti. Are these guys on a mission or something? Anyways this is the Halloween edition of Jonah Hex. The interior art is by David Michael Beck, and it is incredible. It's a fantastic looking book. To bad this guy can't be on hand more often. Basically Jonah has run in to Bat Lash. He gets a telegram from a friend and has to take off to Coffin Creek. Nice name, huh? Anyways, Bat goes along because he's bored in the other town. And he know that Jonah will always give him an adventure to remember. So anyways, they get to town and come to find out, in the whorehouse, El Diablo has been trapped in a room. He's been separated from his host, Lazarus Lane, and trapped in the room by a witch of the prairie. She's planning on burning down the town, and she doesn't want El Diablo to get in the way. So he called Jonah because, "I need a man strong willed and mean-spirited enough to carry me." He has to fight the witch, but he can't do it without a host. So they go and fight her, take her down, and everything in town returns back to normal. I guess this was all supposed to happen on All Hallows Eve. Hence, the Special Halloween Issue. Anyways, nice book. And I really, really enjoyed the art this issue. Maybe we can see some more of it?
