Writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti brought western hero Jonah Hex back to the mainstream DC Universe after several well received Vertigo miniseries. The newest version of Jonah Hex returned the anti - hero to his hard core western roots, providing a series of tough, violent and atmospheric tales set at various tomes during Hex's life. The opening issue set the tone for what was to follow, as Hex was hired to find a missing boy - only to uncover a circus using captured children to fight dogs for the amusement of the crowd. Luke Ross's gritty art was the perfect match for the grim tales of DC's most famous bounty hunter.
