This was a good read. Jonah Hex is a hero whose demeanor is as disreputable as his appearance. He's not afraid to get his hands dirty, and probably enjoys violence too much. But he's not an amoral killer either. He makes his way to Gotham, and that place is definitely in need of a tough hero like hi...
Genre: Horror / Action / Adventure Year Published: 2012 Year Read: 2012 Series: American Vampire #4 Publisher: Vertigo Comics Brief Introduction: Wow! I had never seen a comic book series get better and better over time since Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” series and Joss Whedon’s run on “...

Editor Mark Chiarello gathers together some of the most acclaimed writers and artists who then produce short stories about The Dark Knight. While I didn’t find the overall experience as strong as the first collection, there were st...

Greaser vampire hunter Travis Kidd is on the trail of a vampire that killed his family. Agent Poole is in the south and encounters both racis...
There seem to be a few simple rules for writing Jonah Hex. He will kill people. He will want to be left alone. Hidden depths will be hinted at. In some ways he reminded me of Han Solo.
