I have not read the Showcase, but it is on my shelf ready for when I choose to tackle it. I have been reading Jonah since the Vertigo days and I just don't see how him saving up bounties to settle down with is in character. It seems contrived and forced to set up his eventual revenge. I understand this is necessary sometimes, especially in a book where repeating itself is the norm, but taking the character completely out his realm just doesn't sit well with me.
I absolutely love this book, normally. This is the first issue I have ever felt was sub-par and I might be harsh, but it is only outta love for the series. I just don't want to see Jonah Hex drift into the realm of mediocre.

The ethics of Jonah Hex are pretty complex. He has done some stuff "out of character" before. I thought this was easily one of the best issues of this whole run.
It would have been a perfect "last" issue of the series.

A little harsh, I didn't find him all that out of character. Have you read the showcase? Jonah has wrecked face out of moral right before.
