If you are a fan of the western bounty hunter Johah Hex you should check out this graphic novel Vol.2.

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2018

I have been as fan of the western graphic novels with Jonah Hel, the scarred mean and vicious bounty hunter series. I recently purchased and read this action packed and colorful (All Star Western Volume #2 War of Lords and Owls by writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti and artist Moritat) graphic novel and found it a fun read.

In this tale Jonah Hex and the small psychologist Amadeus Arkham, who had just finished stopping a child labor ring in the sewers of Gotham City, and they are now tracking Thurston Moody to New Orleans who is the ring leader. The action is fast and furious and the illustrations are just fantastic. The other story in this volume involves two interesting western characters, named Nighthawk and Cinnamon, which I liked. The last story, which I did not care for that much is about a gambler named Bat Lash.

If you are a fan of Jonah Hex this all-star western series of characters you should check out this graphic novel. I loved it except for the last story.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Training Alone in Combatives and Self-Defense)

This volume collects issues 7-12.

Jonah Hex and Dr. Amadeus Arkham are on the trail of Thurston Moody for actions played out in the previous volume. They track him down into Louisiana where Jonah reunites with a couple of masked vigilante friends, not that he likes that style, Nighthawk and Cinnamon. They discover a group of well connected bigots that want to deal with all non-Americanized persons fatally. After that adventure, Hex and Arkham return to Gotham to find a war breaking out between the Religion of Crime and the Court of Owls for the soul of Gotham.

Tip o' the cap to the folks at DC and the fans out there for keeping this series going. I am surprised that this one has lasted as long as it did while other series with genre diversity, outside of the capes and tights (well, seems to be more armor today), have not fared so well. Plus, unlike a lot of those other series, this one is a buck more because of the extra pages for a backup feature. Yee-haw.

One of the things that makes this series work so well is the fantastic writing team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. They give the hardened Hex a distinct voice that channels Clint Eastwood of his Western movie days. The art of Moritat is spot on for this book too. His grisly and rough pencils suit the characters as well as the landscapes he so wonderfully draws. Maybe it helps that this series is set in Gotham which sets up one of many connections to the world of Batman. That is not a trait that hinders this series though.

The first two issues are entertaining as Hex gets to be in more his preferred terrain of the south. The cult he and Dr. Arkham go up against, the August 7, are a good challenge to our hero and show that Hex can be a hero not just a ruthless bounty hunter that follows his own moral compass that usually is more on the good side than the bad. Dr. Arkham provides some of funniest moments here as he does throughout the series. Nighthawk and Cinnamon are a fun vigilante duo that give us a look at superheroism in the old west new 52. The conclusion is wrapped up in the beginning of the next chapter, issue 9 as it delves into the "Night of the Owls" event which spread across a lot of the Bat books issue 9's where the Court of Owls launch an attack on Gotham with their assassin group the Talons. I suspect Palmiotti and Gray had to cut their August 7 story short (and it does end a tad abruptly) in order to conform with the Bat-family tie-in even though their series takes place over a hundred years in the past.

The next issues deal with the Court of Owls having to show themselves in order to reassert their control over Gotham with the threats of Hex and crew and the Religion of Crime wanting to make a claim to Gotham. The story starts with a focus on the Court of Owls and becomes a duel with the Religion of Crime battling Hex, Arkham, and a colorful young lady form Hex's past by the name of Tallulah Black. Tallulah is quite a character and one of the highlights of this series. The Court gets pushed out and seemingly forgotten by our group but the Religion of Crime story gives us an excellent showdown.

The backup features are good but not as near as enticing as the main story. The first one focuses more on Nighthawk and Cinnamon and how they got their starts. The second installment focuses on Bat Lash; a ladies man who may have charmed his way into bed for the last time. And the final backup story is about Dr. Terrence 13, a man of science and ready to disprove the existence of a ghostly thief. All take place in the old west or east like Gotham city is set in, well, anyways of that style and flavor.

I can't get enough of the New 52's All Star Westerns, and Jonah Hex makes a great character. Whereas his "partner" Amadeaus Arkham is rather cliche, he can still give one or two surprises. In this book he also meets up Tallullah Black, and she's a great character. The Tie-In to the Court of Owls has nothing to do with the over Volume 2s across DC's New 52, but it's nice to see it with an Old West feel. It gives more depth to the Court, and more history.

The way Jonah fights The Crime Bible family, or Followers of Cain, or whatever you want to call them... I absolutely loved it. He's a vicious man but a brilliant man, and it's very subtle.

If you're a fan of western comics, you should already be reading this. But if you're looking for something non-superheroy to get into, I suggest trying these books out.

One of the best of the Owls books

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

Of all the titles involved with the Court/Night/City of Owls storyline, Batman, All Star Western, and Nightwing are the most important. The art and writing in this book are top notch, a real pleasure to read.
The All Star Western trades are thicker than most of the New 52 trades, so you get more comic for your money, which is nice.

Who would have thought that Jonah Hex would become DC's best comic? I've read several New 52 titles and except for Batman and Justice League(s) I was not interested. But this series (All Star Western) provides great stories and art about Jonah Hex in 19th Century Gotham City (mainly), with entertaining back-up stories as well

Good old western with a mystery twist

Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

All Star Western went in a direction that comics have often not gone. That being a straight up style spaghetti western that was similar to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Johan Hex is the main character, but narrated by a doctor who accompanies Hex, this volume from Goitham City to New Orleans. While the setting is the old west, there are historical ties to the main universe of the DC New 52, in this case the Court of Owls.

It's also nice to see a few back up stories that feature other DC Wild West characters, such as Nighthawk and Cinnamon.

This second helping is a real treat for any wild west fan.
