Declining. Jonah Hex is now the lowest-selling ongoing DC Universe title that’s not been canceled yet.
A weekly review of every appearance of Jonah Hex. We cover Weird Western Tales, Jonah Hex, HEX, the Vertigo minis, the new series by Palmiotti, talk about the Jonah Hex movie with Josh Brolin, old comic book ads, and other junk from my personal collection.
That can't be good. Dagnabit. It's funny, everyone I talk too, seems to like it, but is anybody besides you and I buying the darned thing?
ReplyDeleteWhat make syou think I'M buying that crap?
ReplyDeleteNo, seriously, of course I'm buying it. The article also stated that DC seems to be bleeding on all of its books and there are several books lower than Jonah that are still not canceled. Seems the threshold is lower than we thought for cancelation.
On a side note, is anybody beside you & me reading this BLOG?!?!
Getting rid of the crap art would be a good start.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I'm not a big of fan of Noto as some people are, but he sure beats the hell out of Giffen in the last issues of Hex.
ReplyDeleteWell Dwayne, at least we have each other. *sniff*
ReplyDeleteAnd Paris, we'll always have Paris....Texas.
