All Star Western #1

“He had no friends, this Jonah Hex…But he did have two companions…one was death itself..the other, the acrid smell of gun smoke.“
Part of the new 52 from DC comics, I finally caught up with ALL STAR WESTERN #1. The story takes place in the sleazy & grimey-urban confines of Gotham City set in the 1880’s. Jonah Hex, a severly scarred up, outlaw bounty hunter outfitted in a confederate uniform accompanied by his only friends, two long barreled revolvers on each hand, steps into this urban hell-hole known as gotham looking to collect bounties on 3 men. Right from the start, bullets & bodies would start flying around like there was some cheap fire sale going on! In parallel, a string of serial murders involving prostitutes would spring up in gotham. Dr. Amadeus Arkham, a medical doctor with specialties in the psychology realm would get enlisted to help with solving these murders of passion. Unfortunately, Amadeus will need the help from an abrasive-cranky one man machine known as Jonah Hex.
