All Star Western #34

The cover of this 2014 New 52 finale says everything with quiet confidence — Jonah Hex on horseback, cigarette in hand, silhouetted against a dusky mountain sky beside a weathered sign reading "End of the Trail." Darwyn Cooke's cover art carries real elegance, the muted purples and golds giving the image a melancholy, cinematic weight that feels entirely fitting for an issue titled "The Final Curtain." Palmiotti and Gray's long run on the scarred bounty hunter wraps up here, and that solitary figure on the ridge makes for a genuinely moving send-off.
