		Jonah took upon himself to save a young boy who was kidnapped, but Mei Ling would not except any reason for Jonah to put his six guns back on.

		Jonah Hex returned with a few western mini series in the 1990's, and over the years he's managed to run into a few super heroes as well.

	Jonah Hex - PopMatters Comic Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		For Jonah Hex though, there's a different vibe (and not just because of the absence of the Vertigo imprint), it's the Leone westerns and in particular the melancholy of the Unforgiven that immediately springs to mind.
		This leads Hex to a circus (of sorts) where an extreme version of dog fighting is the main entertainment and the mystery unfolds further as to the fate of the missing boy.
		Hex is suitably grotesque (at one point a worried woman cries "Who the hell are you, ugly?") and the introduction of chapter titles to the story works really well to the atmospheric settings (A cemetery without crosses, the crippled hunter).

	Erik Weems Blog Review \| Comic Atomic \| JONAH HEX #13
		Jonah Hex seems to be a lonely figure, but considering his severe facial disfigurement, he is not a particularly melancholy fellow.
		For example, see the first Jonah Hex story in the recent DC Comics Showcase of fl and white reprints: a 1971 tale that features a well drawn likeness by Tony de Zuniga of actor Lee Marvin as a villain, a not too subtle visual cue from which the reader is supposed to get their context.
		Titled "Retribution," this is the first part of a three-part tale called "The shocking origin of Jonah Hex" and the story switches from the American Civil War to scenes in "The Wyoming Badlands, 1868" in which Hex seems to be catching up with a few of the fellows he met prior to his disfigurement.

	RPGnet: Review of Showcase Presents: Jonah Hex Vol. 1
		Jonah Hex is DC Comics’ most popular western character and perhaps the most popular comic book gunfighter of all time.
		This Jonah Hex collection is what you might call a “revisionist western,” meaning the good aren’t so good and the bad aren’t so bad, but the ugly sure are ugly.
		Jonah Hex makes for an interesting, if cold, hero because in a previous era he would have been a villain.

	Jonah Hex #1 » PopCultureShock
		Jonah Hex is one of those characters from my childhood that I remember by name and have some vague fondness for, but couldn’t for the life of me explain why.
		The opening scene, a classic moonlit standoff between Hex and one James Ronnie, whom the narrator notes “aligned with Hex on the side of justice earlier that night,” sets a perfect throwback tone to the story.
		The plot itself is pretty straightforward, as Hex is hired to locate the kidnapped son of a crippled big game hunter and uncovers a rather loathsome variation on Gladiators in Victor Romanoff and his Amazing Dog Fighters.

	The Comic Treadmill: Jonah Hex 13 (2007)
		The Jonah Hex character was created in 1972 as an alternate type of Western protagonist in a book titled All-Star Western, but which was renamed Weird Western Tales when the Hex strip became the dominant feature.
		Jonah was a Confederate soldier captured by the Union army.
		In this issue of Hex, Bernet’s style can best be described as Toth-like, which is high praise in that it is a style where the characters seem to physically move on the paper during the action sequences and where the quieter scenes start a big screen movie soundtrack playing in the reader’s head.

		Jonah tells Venal to tell the robbers that he is about to shoot all of their gold teeth out.
		Jonah orders the men to retrieve the body, sink it into the quicksand and then reset the trap so that the natives don't know that the trap has been sprung.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Jonah Hex
		A month after his first series ended, the company launched Hex, in which he was suddenly transported to the middle of the 21st century, and was required to use his 19th century gunfighting capabilities against mutants, monsters and high-tech villains.
		Hex's death story, which appeared in a special (written by Fleischer) even while his first series was running, was among the less predictable in comics.
		The showman stuffed Hex, dressed him up in a white-hatted ensemble far fancier than he'd ever worn in life, posed him with a gun in his hand, and went from town to town, exhibiting him as an old-time western gunfighter.

	TheFourthRail.com - Snap Judgments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Which is to say, this is not a modern comics reinvention of Jonah, nor even a darkly twisted Vertigo version ala Lansdale and Truman, it is a straightforward western adventure story with a grim but ultimately noble (by the standards of his time) hero, and a self-contained first issue to boot.
		Jonah Hex has no problem killing men, whether by the gun or more gruesome methods, but he is unquestionably the most noble character in the book, holding himself to a moral code that outranks the law in his eyes.
		In the hands of these writers, Jonah Hex is like the modern flawed action hero, transported to the days of the Old West.

		The genre stuff really appealed to me and with Hex, I loved that this guy had it so visually bad with the scar on his face, yet deep down he really was a fair person...
		When he decided he did not want to do anything with it, it became fair game again and I pitched again with Justin and we got the gig based on what we thought would be a good idea on how to handle the series.

		I had read a couple of Jonah Hex tales in the past and, enjoying those, thought that this volume, since it reprints the stories from the beginning, would be a good place to start.
		As evidenced by these early stories, Jonah Hex was originally conceived by the character's creator, John Albano, as a mysterious bounty hunter.
		Fleisher had no previous comic writing experience at the time he started writing Jonah Hex and felt he needed this input, particularly because DC was working with full scripts from their writers at the time.

	Jonah Hex Shadows West Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		They have taken the character of Jonah Hex to sick and twisted heights and they’ve populated Hex’s West with a whole bunch of equally sick and twisted characters.
		He is one of the best artists working in comics today and his portrayal of Jonah Hex’s world is spectacular.
		I find it hard to believe anyone looks twice at Jonah because Truman’s wild West is populated by a host of mean hombres who you know smell just as bad as they look.

	Jonah Hex # 9
		Jonah Hex is haunted by the memory of a young girl whose death he accidentally brought about years ago.
		It is also odd to see Hex becoming such a softy-- and a loverboy to boot.
		Classic Hex artist, DeZuniga turns in an adequate effort, capturing the sordidness of Hex's life but at the same time, his work looks excessively scratchy-- much like his latter work on the earlier incarnation of Hex.

	Review: Jonah Hex #1
		I’m a Western fan, and a Jonah Hex fan, and quite frankly Joe Lansdale and Tim Truman’s work on the character is a hard act to follow.
		They approach Hex as the scarred, hardened bounty hunter he is, yet give him an iconic presence that anyone who’s ever seen or read a Western can easily identify and enjoy.
		If Hex were to be immortalized on film, I can’t think of anyone better than Eastwood to do it, and Ross’s likeness of Eastwood is so good that it’s hard not to like it.

		The infamous Jonah Hex has been hired by the wealthy Joshua Foster to find Foster's abducted son Jacob after both the police and the Pinkerton Detective Agency have failed to do so.
		Jonah's investigation leads him to a show at a local carnival in which young boys fight off dogs using metal claws.
		Hex is sure the missing boy is connected to the bloodbath somehow, but when he discovers the truth, it turns out to be worse than even an ol' rattlesnake like Hex can stand.

		Westerns are the flavor of the moment so it made good and proper sense for DC to resurrect ol’ Jonah Hex and his Navy Colts.
		Jonah Hex provides uniquely variant directions for a writer: straight-up western, western mystery, Sergio Leone style, unstoppable lone-gunman - you could even write a mainstream DCU superhero story if you wanted.
		Whatever Jonah Hex stories I read in the 70's are long forgotten.

		Hex is no longer a Vertigo character, but the new creative team hasn't left the character's edgier qualities behind.
		Gun for hire Jonah Hex lands a new job for a wealthy landowner, but it's not a hunt for a criminal, dead or alive.
		I also appreciated that Hex -- who's dedicated his life to killing wicked men -- finds himself in a crisis of conscience when he's forced to kill for a benevolent, less vengeful reason.

		Jonah Hex is a bounty hunter in the old west, whose face was scarred when his Indian blood brother flayed the skin from his face with a hot tomahawk.
		He is a ruthless gunfighter and was the first comic book western hero to actually kill the villains in the stories, rather than just shooting their guns from their hands (like they did in the Marvel westerns).

	Valdosta Daily Times - Jonah Hex No. 1
		The grisly-scarred Jonah Hex has been mean in the Old West for more than 30 years in comics.
		Unlike the 1990s gore for the sake of gore, and mean for the sake of mean Jonah Hex, this new incarnation is mean but he's also got that heroic streak that made him a hit in the 1970s.
		The new "Jonah Hex" is heavy on violence but it is not the bloody guts nastiness of his more recent incarnations.
