Jonah Hex #47

Written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti
Art by Cristiano Cucina


There's not a whole lot to say about this issue - it's somewhere in the middle of the first long Hex arc, and it's most definitely getting padded as we go along. In this issue, Hex and friends face off against some random Mexicans on a river, and get drunk in a small town. Meanwhile, Turnbull meets up with his hired killers in a scene right out of Empire Strikes Back, and Chako Mosquito shows up, leaving only Hex's father or future son to make an appearance.

This is a good book, but I'm ready for this storyline to finish and for things to return to the usual 'done in one' style. I can't escape the feeling that Gray and Palmiotti are just throwing everything against the wall in this. Also, I miss the old-school silent movie style chapter titles.

Cucina is putting some very nice work into this.
