Jonah Hex #58

The cover of Jonah Hex #58 says it all — DC's scarred, hard-bitten bounty hunter levels his revolver directly at the reader, a blazing muzzle flash filling the frame as the tagline promises "Every Bullet Tells a Story." Giancarlo Caracuzzo's cover art captures Hex in full frontier menace: wide-brimmed hat, duster, and that unmistakable disfigured face set in a cold, determined snarl. Writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti were deep into their celebrated run with this 2010 issue, and the raw, point-blank energy on display makes it easy to see why their take on the Old West's deadliest gun-for-hire kept readers coming back.
