In this volume we see in the beginning Jonah Hex meeting his son and he doesn’t react rightly to his long lost son. In fact Hex comes out swinging. Which is rather disappointing. Hex is indeed a figure that is a disturbing man; a wild cowboy and bounty hunter best left alone with his skillset.
Previously I didn’t particularly enjoy the fourth volume as much for the fact that there was too much references to saloons and what comes with it. I thought I give Jonah Hex at another try since previous works were fun reading and I started to enjoy Western genre graphic novels and there are not a lot of them out there. At this time I’m given the Jonah Hex 2006 “New 52” series a break. May be my “luck” had run out with Jonah Hex although I did enjoy the few “All Star Western” that I read with Jonah Hex in it.
The first story, `My Name is Nobody', features a family reunion Hex-style. There are desperadoes involved and an (inevitable) high body count.
`Four Little Pigs: A Grindhouse Western' is one of the better stories in the compilation. Jonah comes upon a shapely young woman who drinks a bit too much, likes to quote Bible verses, and has something very unpleasant going on in her barn. More of a horror story than a Western adventure, this one revels in a decidedly grisly storyline.
In `Starman', an immigrant boy on the streets of New York City tangles with some corrupt law enforcement types; Jonah Hex just happens to be in the right place at the right time to lend some grudging assistance.
The talented British artist John Higgins provides `Townkiller', in which a young man of ...dainty...manners asks Jonah to avenge a friend's execution at the hands of bigoted townsfolk. This story features all manner of death and mayhem, makes some grim points about the nature of vengeance and retribution, and features one of the more graphic acts of violence yet depicted in this modern incarnation of the Jonah Hex series.
`Return to Devil's Paw' sees Jonah and some Pinkertons ascend the desert to the mountain redoubt of Devil's Paw, where the resident Indian tribe doesn't take too kindly to interlopers. Rafa Garres's art and colors are distinctive, if a bit crude.
In `Luck Runs Out', some homicidal bandits arrive in the mean little town of Desperation, looking to blow open a safe and make a getaway on appropriated horses. It's their bad luck to discover that not only is Jonah Hex laid up in the town hotel, but he's got a very bad hangover to boot. Featuring some gruesome hand-to-hand combat with a broken whiskey bottle, `Luck' ends the book on a very.... Jonah..... note.
If you're someone who wants their Western comics to depict a landscape of relentless violence, cruelty, squalor, and mayhem, then `Luck Runs Out' is a great reading choice. But fans of more mannered Western fiction, like that produced by Louis L'Amour, may be a bit repulsed; this book is not for them.
