Jonah Hex: Luck Runs Out

In this 2008 one-shot from DC, Jonah Hex finds his legendary bad luck put to the test when a mysterious stranger offers him a chance to change his fortunes. Written by the series’ regular team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, the issue is distinguished by the gritty, evocative artwork of veteran Russ Heath, whose career on Western comics lends the story an authentic, weathered feel. It’s a tight, character-driven tale that captures the brutal, luckless existence of the scarred bounty hunter.
