Comics in my mind tend to be either procedural (How do I defeat the villain?) or psychological (What drives me to defeat the villain?) Comics heroes, or anti-heroes, that are nigh unstoppable tend to have stories that push the envelope in terms of action, but the real drama is in the characterization. Modern versions of the Punisher, Batman, and Superman all fall into this category. Jonah Hex has been there from the start.Cowboy Yogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233090604810578381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878951447699540854.post-7636975025136882632011-01-20T18:20:59.053-05:002011-01-20T18:20:59.053-05:00I finally caught up on Hex last night.

Jonah Hex is just too preternaturally good at killing people. No opponent can ever present a credible threat. I want the hero to win, but Hex wins the battle before it starts because no other fighter is anywhere near his level. Is this problem of a "superheroic" gunslinger, one who is always unbeatable, confined only to comic books? -CamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
