I'm pretty excited for this. Cooke's art always blows me out of the water and I've been following Jonah Hex since the stellar job he did on issue 33.

He is a quality artist and apparently a big artist name that will do well for Hex.
Even if his style dont fit with Hex its good to see his passion about Hex.Pull List:
The Walking Dead,Fatale,Near Death,Storm Dogs,Happy,BPRD,XO-Manowar
American Vampire,Animal Man,Swamp Thing
Daredevil, Winter Soldier,Indestructible Hulk

I have been waiting for this for months. I hope I can get a hold of both covers. Darwyn Cooke is such a gifted artist and storyteller.

Well done to the entire creative team for reaching a 50th issue for Jonah Hex.
I love reading it in trades at christmas time."You can't trust them as poets either. The true poet is anonymous, as to his habits, but these boys have to look, act, and apparently smell like poets"

Cooke's last Hex story set in the Canadian winter was fantastic. Definitely looking forward to this one, but then again, I'm always looking forward to Jonah Hex.

Hex is simply fantastic.
just goes to show. Dan Didio will do his best to make a title last. Switch it up with new and old artists. Add some new covers and just support it everywhere he goes or gets the chance.
The fact is: Jonah Hex's sales would never have lasted over at marvel at any given time."You can't trust them as poets either. The true poet is anonymous, as to his habits, but these boys have to look, act, and apparently smell like poets"

Yeah, the trades (plus the series' excellent sales overseas in Europe, which has enjoyed US cowboy comics for a while now) keep the series afloat.

Not a big fan of Cooke at all. Too cartoony artwork.
