And now it is time to reveal another of my top favorite DC characters, this time I look at the good ol’ scarred cowboy:



I was first introduced to Jonah Hex through “Batman: The Animate Series.” The episode he was featured in was pretty awesome and is in my top favorite episodes of the series. One of the things I love about Hex is that he was a confederate soldier but his sense of honor would not allow him to betray the side he had been enlisted in. Not to mention that he has no shame in it and does not care to hide it even years after the war had ended. His back story with his father is tragic, but it is the origin with the scarring of his face that really help drive his character (despite its exact time frame of when it happened changing over the years) as it shows his ruthlessness when it comes to those who do wrong. I also find it interesting to see a man who acts like such an ass also go to lengths to help those he does care about without having to get melodramatic over it.

While Hex does not have the huge rogues that other characters do, I definitely love his confrontations with both Quentin Turnbull and El Papagayo, as they really feel like true villains, especially Turnbull, who wants revenge because he blames Hex for the death of his son.

It is also worth noting, that while the series was ultimately a failure, I did like the concept of Hex being taken out of the Wild West and brought to a post-apocalyptic future. If for nothing else, for the great comment Bruce Timm and gang had him make in Justice League Unlimited when they were fighting against technology from the future.

Finally, another thing I love about the way the comics are written is that the stories are told out of order similar to the way Howard wrote Conan, so one issue you might be reading about Hex in the early 1860’s when he was first starting out as a bounty hunter, while in the next issue, could take place after he married Mei Ling in the late 1870’s to even having issues before that in 1899 with Hex learning from his son that Mei Ling is dead.

OH yeah, and there is NO Jonah Hex movie!!!!!!!!
