Jonah Hex [2010]

The comic book character then and now was just a ex-Confederate bounty hunter with a scared face. The stories were straight up westerns. There were three of mini-series written by Joe R. Lansdale with supernatural elements but they were the situation Hex was dealing with. Hex was still just a bounty hunter. The quality of the title varies but it’s mostly good stuff. I particularly like the recent issues drawn by Jodi Bernet.

In the movie Hex has the power to speak to the dead. That with the Wild Wild West plot is full of suck. Sometimes you just have to wonder what goes through the minds of these Hollywood types when they just have to improve on the original product. He wasn’t a superhero you dicks, and Hex was just a name. Do yourself a favor and avoid the movie Jonah Hex:
