Jonah Hex #39

Tony DeZuniga's cover for Jonah Hex #39 captures a tense, morally charged standoff: the scarred bounty hunter looms over a kneeling samurai in red robes, sword raised, clearly wrestling with a sworn oath — as the speech bubbles make plain, "You have sworn an oath — you must cut off my head!" while Hex himself mutters "A-ah just can't do it!" A woman watches anxiously from the background, adding quiet weight to the dramatic impasse. Michael Fleisher's story, "The Vow of a Samurai!," promises an unexpected cultural collision between the American West and the code of bushido that fans of the series won't want to miss.
