How ugly do you like your Jonah Hex to be?

Disfigured as fuck. None of that "few lines of scarring" bullshit.

Thanks, dude.

Neat. Did they change his origins up a bit though? Usually happens after reboots.

What do you guys think of the movie?

From what I remembered? Not Great.
Back then I liked Constantine and Green Hornet more really.

Why didn't they just make a good western with a scarred hero.
Why did they have to give him speak to the dead powers and the villain using a giant machine like a watered down Wild Wild West.

That's how bad it was. It couldn't even match Wild Wild West in entertainment.

The 06 Jonah Hex, Vol. 2 series lasts 70 issues. Is there a better part of the run or is it all good from the start?

It's pretty much all good. Most of the stories are 1-2 parters, so even if you found a story lackluster it didn't drag on for a whole trade worth of plot.
The older run was also short episodic stories like that too. It wasn't till All Star Western in N52 that went for more of a 5 issues per story modern standard.

They could have easily adapted a few of his comics, tying them together and giving us a good movie. I guess they thought "he's a comic character, he needs to be whacky."

Probably.
The easiest answer is to pull a couple of the older stories together.
Have that subplot of the first comic, where some town that Hex saves pretends they're all full up because they don't want "that brute" living in their "precious and safe" town. Also the plot of that lil kid who likes Hex but his mom turns him away because she thinks danger gravitates to him.
And you get that touching moment where Hex has to tell the kid he hates him just so he doesn't try to run off with Hex as he's leaving.

It wasn't just watered--down WWW, it was literally the exact same plot with a little mystical hoohaw thrown in.

Thanks for the Jonah Hex thread pal. Ideally he should be as scarred as the late Darwyn Cooke's interpretation.

There was also whatshername from the Transformers movies and Jenifers Body.

His unscarred side should look pretty handsome, his scarred side should be rough as fuck to look at.

It's shot. Even Fassbender doesn't help it.

Half Clint Eastwood, half walking corpse.

Fassbender was in it? I only remember John Malcovich, Josh Brolin, and whatsherface.

Just read them all in chronological order. They're mostly one-shots but events and characters pop up from previous stories as the run goes along.

Any love for the Jonah Hex Vertigo trilogy (Two-Gun Mojo, Riders of the Worm, Shadows West)?

He's the tattooed main henchman. I was surprised too when I realized it.

This is back when superhero movies were still in the Wild West, before Marvel came up with the winning formula that everyone wanted to copy but during the period where just about any comic could get a movie. I'm guessing some faceless exec saw the character and wanted to make him more like a superhero and added Megan Fox for good measure.

There were a few 90's Vertigo series that are fucking amazing.

Also...we find out Hex likes it THIC

This song always reminds me of Hex.

And this is one obviously about him.

Fuck yeah, got the trade collecting that a few months back. Excellent stuff.

How can one character be so consistently great? The only awful thing with him in it, has to be his movie. He also proves that character arcs aren't the end all be all of storytelling.

They should have forgotten it was a comic book movie and made a good western. Just because the story was told in sequential art doesn't mean it needs to be absolute drivel.
or at least save that for the sequel.

Megan Fox.

Anne Frank will still ride his Southern cock no matter how uggo he is because she loves his soul.

Absolutely fucked up. I'm a big fan of Thomas Jane's make-up test he did when he was looking to star in the movie. Between the scars and his own facial structure, it made the fucked up side look almost like a skull. Great shit.

Funny enough, Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray retold Hex's origin twice. Once in the Origins arc of their first monthly, and another in the #0 of New52 All-Star Western.

And both times they kept it exactly the same. Because why mess with perfection?

Thanks user. I was too lazy to look it up but it still kept bothering me.
She was good in Jeniffer's Body, and meh in everything else.

I like that. The string of skin across the mouth bugs me in other versions. If I was horrible disfigured I'd cut that off.

A bunch of factors. He's an extremely flexible character who can work as a badass Man With No Name, a historical figure, a cold assassin, a raging avenger... you can put Hex in pretty much every genre of story possible and he'll still work. Even things like black comedy or romance or post-apocalyptic sci-fi work.

And on the other hand, I think being a western characters means he attracts people who love westerns, or who never get a chance to do them, so there's usually always an extra dose of fun and effort put into him. Nobody writes or draws Hex because they have to.

Jonah Hex has basically zero truly bad comics, absolute legend.

Prime Clint Eastwood on one side, nightmare on the other.

He should meet Two-Face sometime.

I never liked that weird string of skin he has. I feel like it would have ripped eventually and it bugs the fuck out of me.

This was my introduction to Hex. I came out of it a lifelong fan of Hex, Lansdale and Truman.

I want half the Phantom Of the Opera in a cowboy hat.

I always took it for muscle. If you cut it off he wouldn't be able to close his mouth.

Based Hex

Great art, but didn't really like the supernatural/alieness of the plots.
Makes me think that the movie took after those instead.
Truman really was born to illustrate westerns
