I love me a good western just about as much as I love me a good horror flick, so combining the two together… holy shitakke mushrooms, I think what you have is the recipe for a very good time indeed! Since I’m not familiar with the comic (and I’m going to assume I’m not the only one here), HEX goes a little something like this:
Hex, known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform, was a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood. He first appeared in the early 1970s in the issues of “All-Star Western” before graduating to his own series in 1977 that ran for about 10 years. A new series was launched in 2005. The character also had a run in the 1990s that combined the Western genre with supernatural elements.
Alright, this Hex character sounds like my kind of guy. Instead of going the full blown western route, Neveldine and Taylor have said they’re taking it more in the supernatural direction… in hopes of creating a new kick ass franchise. Hey, as long as it’s a fun ride that doesn’t suck, I’ll be there! And if this creates a whole new series of movies, then even better! Stick around fore more on JONAH HEX as we hear it!
