Surprisingly violent issue. I mean, Jonah Hex isn't exactly hugs & kisses every other month, but this one stands out. I'm not complaining, just saying. Lots of carnage.Billy Tucci steps in on art, and he draws a mean fucking death-by-gunshot. Many, many times over. His Hex is different, more Two-Face than I'm used to. His is not the generally grizzled & bloodshot Hex whose scar is quite fitting considering the rest of him, but rather a half pretty-boy, a Bat Lash on the left & a Freddy Krueger on the right. I like it.
Palmiotti & Gray just keep banging out righteous Western slaughter. "Dance Hall Girl" isn't one of their best efforts, but it's still head & spurs over most anything else on the stands. Hex charms a bodacious dancer into helping him snag the Hager Brothers, and about seventeen double-crosses later, you've got buckets of blood and a crippled whore. Unforgiving & hellishly raw. Get some.
