Book Reviews of Jonah Hex: Origins
Book Review: Retold Origins
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up reading Jonah Hex in 1970's in the pages of Weird Western Tales. You must understand the westerns I grew up on was John Wayne, The Lone Ranger, Wagon Train and the Virigian. It was later that I discover the Magnificent Seven and the Clint Eastwood Man with No Name series of films. My first exposing to the idea of the anti-hero was Hex.
In this graphic novel,the lucky reader has a rewritten original more suited to HEX, the bounty hunter and the man. In this graphic novel, which reprints three comic novellas, we are reintroduced to Jonah Hex. Thosde who do not know the comic nor the character will enjoy the intro to him.
The writing is crisp and to the point, not like a monthly comic more like a well told novel. The art is the stuff you frame when buying an uncolored one sheet at auction. (Does anyone know if this art is available to buy, I would love a piece from this Hex book)
Those who bought Showcase Presents: Jonah Hex, Vol. 1 would not be disappointed. Hex seems gritter for the times. Jimmy Palmiotti is an able scribe, similar to John Byrne when he rewrote the Man of Steel origins(Superman: The Man of Steel, Vol. 1
So if you like the anti-hero western, pick this up. If you have not tried Jonah Hex, start with this one. Worth five stars in my book
