Well, DC comics has announced that All-Star Western will end with issue #34 in August. I was expecting this since there was a recent Justin and Jimmy interview where they mentioned that they had no plans on breaking Fleisher's Hex story count, but I thought they would have about another year before DC closed up shop on Jonah.
But, Jonah is a tough bird to keep down, he will pop-up from time to time, heck it was only 19 years between Hex #18 and Jonah Hex V2 #1 (not counting the Vertigo stuff and you know I NEVER count the Vertigo stuff). Heck, it was ten years between All-Star Western #10 and Hex #18. We've had 8 years with Jonah Hex V2 and All Star Western V2 so I guess we really can't complain.
I'll be savoring these last few issues, but I sure would have loved to have seen a Jose Lopez drawn Hex story in there somewhere.
Stay behind the saddle-horn, and I'll see ya'll next week. I have some more stuff planned in my writings and musings, I have dug up some more old comics and I'm tempted to tear into the Vertigo stuff (figuratively and literally).

I am so depressed.
Anyone else notice the content of the latest issue of All-Star Western didn't reflect the solicitation?
Here was the solit: "Now returned to the 1800s, Hex sets out to settle some scores the only way he knows how: violently! And he’s going to start with an impostor who stole his identity!"
No imposter in the issue at all...
It's so sad that this is ending. Jonah is 1 of the best characters in DC. But, like the sayin goes: All good things must come to an end. But, at least we have your great summaries to look forward to. Keep it up, and Jonah will never truly fade...
Thank you for the kind words. I'm realizing that I need my Jonah fix and I have started getting posts ready again
