We're halfway through this six-issue arc on Jonah Hex, and Jonah and crew have now taken out one of the main villains, while the other one puts together a team of racial stereotypes to help protect him. Really - a Maasai warrior, Persian fighter, and Irish boxer? Where's the Chinese kung fu fighter? Why not through in an Eskimo? This book usually shows better judgment when dealing with this time period.
Of interest is the extended flashback, which explains Jonah's break with the Confederates, and I suppose also explains why Turnbull is after him in the present story. That's because I'm working under the assumption that his friend Jeb is Turnbull's son - not that that is made clear in this book.
This is a good story, but I think they're stretching some to fill out six issues, and I don't understand why that was necessary, seeing as this book is usually excellent when the stories are told in short, single issues.
