Jonah Hex #46

Jonah Hex charges hard into "The Six Gun War" with this 2009 installment, part three of six in a sprawling Western saga by writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti. Cristiano Cucina's cover pulls no punches — a scarred, pistol-wielding Hex thunders forward on horseback, a wave of mounted warriors surging behind him, all framed by a bold skull-and-crossed-revolvers emblem that announces the scale of the conflict to come. It's a dust-kicking, tension-soaked image that makes issue #46 feel like the eye of a very dangerous storm.
