Jonah Hex #64

The cover of Jonah Hex #64 sets a tense, intimate mood — the scarred bounty hunter himself dominates the foreground, lit cigar in hand and his ruined face rendered in striking detail by Nelson, while above him a sharp-eyed woman leans from a wooden balcony clutching a knife, her expression anything but welcoming. The story title "Lovesick" sits between these two figures like a wry punchline, hinting at a complicated dynamic that's far from tender. Gray, Palmiotti, and Nelson were consistently delivering some of the best Western storytelling DC had to offer in 2011, and this issue looks like no exception.
