Jonah Hex: Shadows West #3

The concluding chapter of Jonah Hex: Shadows West arrives with a cover by Tim Truman that commands attention — a weathered, scarred gunfighter stands armed with revolver and knife before an enormous ceremonial medallion etched with hypnotic, serpentine imagery, its twin red eyes lending the whole scene an air of ancient menace. It's a striking image that positions the frontier and the supernatural in the same uneasy frame, exactly the territory this Vertigo miniseries has been staking out. Joe R. Lansdale and Tim Truman bring their three-issue run to a close here, with Sam Glanzman's inks giving the artwork a gritty, textured weight that suits the story's dark Western tone perfectly.
