Jonah Hex: Face Full of Violence

In 2006, DC Comics launched this one-shot that distills the grim essence of Jonah Hex into a single, hard-hitting Western tale. Written by the defining duo of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, with gritty art by original Hex artist Tony DeZuniga, it delivers a raw, violent encounter that underscores the bounty hunter's scarred past and relentless code. A potent snapshot of the character's classic era, it matters as a bridge between his earlier adventures and the acclaimed ongoing series that followed.
