Jonah Hex #21

The cover of this 2007 DC Western says it all — Jonah Hex on a rearing horse, silhouetted against a vast desert landscape dominated by a towering rock formation eerily shaped like a grasping claw, the story title "The Devil's Paw" etched right into the image. Jordi Bernet's cover art gives the scene a lean, weathered tension that suits DC's grittiest bounty hunter perfectly. Writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti continue their run alongside Bernet, and this issue looks like another dusty, unnerving ride into the frontier's darker corners.
