History ComicBook / JonahHex2005

* BloodierAndGorier: Unrestrained by UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode as previous Hex comics were, this series takes full advantage of the possibilities to include just about all the sorts of violence one would expect to find in a [[TheWestern Western]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: Grey and Palmiotti made full use that the series didn't have to confine itself the UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode anymore.

Published from 2005 to 2011 and numbering 70 issues, the series was augmented by a graphic novel released in 2010, ''Jonah Hex: No Way Back'', to coincide with the [[Film/JonahHex movie]] released around the same time.

Creator/DCComics ongoing comic, launched in [[ComicBook/PostCrisis 2005]], following its most famous [[TheWestern Western]] character, the Apache raised, ex-Confederate turned BountyHunter: ComicBook/JonahHex. Written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti with a cast of rotating artists, rather than an ongoing singular narrative each issue is a one-off adventure from Hex's [[TheDrifter roaming life]] as a Bounty Hunter across [[WildWest the American West]]. The series would also occasionally feature other obscure and lesser-used DC Western characters whom Hex would encounter throughout his travels.

** Issues #13 - 15 act as something of an origins episode for Hex as we receive flashbacks to the pivotal moments of his life ([[ParentalAbuse His abusive father]], [[MadeASlave him being sold as a slave to the Apache by said father]], his service in the UsefulNotes/AmericanCivilWar, to [[MarkOfShame how he got his facial scarring]]) as Hex is tracking down some ex-Union officers he has a vendetta against.

* AuthorAppeal: The Canadian setting of "The Hunting Trip" was the request of the guest-artist for the issue Darwyn Cooke.

* WeirdWest: The series mostly plays itself fairly straight but will occasionally delve into this territory, homaging it's roots among the Weird West comics of the 70s and the various 90s [[Creator/DCVertigo Vertigo]] Hex titles.

* MixedAncestry: Jason Hex, Jonah's son by way of his ex-wife Mei Ling, is this. He ends up taking work in desolate areas of Northern Mexico where most of the locals don't give him trouble over it.
