Jonah Hex, Vol. 9: Counting Corpses

In the rugged, unforgiving landscape of the Wild West, Jonah Hex remains an enigmatic figure, his scarred visage telling a story of violence and survival. As a bounty hunter, he walks a narrow line between justice and lawlessness, embodying the very essence of the frontier's moral ambiguity. Each case he takes on is riddled with danger, and every encounter serves to further solidify his reputation as a man who defies death while navigating a world filled with treachery and betrayal.

In this volume, Jonah finds himself in even murkier waters, confronting not just his enemies but also the ghosts of his past. As he travels through desolate towns and encounters a cast of colorful characters—some looking to make a name for themselves and others with sinister intentions—readers witness the relentless struggle of a man shaped by his scars. The narrative is packed with gritty action and complex relationships, exploring what it truly means to be a monstrous hero in a landscape of chaos.

As the relentless pursuit of bounties continues, Jonah Hex proves that, despite the odds, survival is his only compulsion. The gritty storytelling combined with evocative art brings to life a world where life is cheap, but the cost of confronting one’s demons is immeasurable. The tale unfurls with dark humor and brutal honesty, capturing the essence of a man who refuses to be defined by his scars or the unforgiving land he roams.
