I viewed the photos that were released regarding the upcoming Jonah Hex Film... earlier in the week. Not having been a big Jonah Hex comics reader in the past, I thought I would wait to see what 'fan' reaction there would be on the photos and other info that has been released on film. So far, what I've seen is positive feedback... I first blogged about the upcoming film back on December 11th 2007, but there hasn't been much really to blog about since. That's because the director, Jimmy Hayward was chosen in January 2009, and Brolin was announced in February. Josh Brolin will star as Jonah Hex, and John Malkovich and Megan Fox also star in the film which is now scheduled to be released on August 6th, 2010. My interest in the comic book series that the film is based on, was because one of my favorite pencillers / inkers was on the series for a while, that being Dick Ayers. I even bought a sketch of Jonah Hex as well as other Western Heroes that Dick has drawn throughout the years at an earlier WonderCon. (Those are Not for Sale!) Here is a partial list of Jonah Hex series from DC Comics, should you want to start picking them up to have a better idea of whom Jonah Hex is and before the prices for back issues rise any further in cost:All-Star Western v2 #10-11 (1972) Weird Western Tales #12-14, 16-38 (1972-1977) Jonah Hex #1-92 (1977-1985) Jonah Hex Spectacular #1 (1978/Fall) Hex #1-18 (1985-1987) Secret Origins #21 (1987/12) Jonah Hex: Two Gun Mojo #1-5 (1993) Jonah Hex: Riders of the Worm and Such #1-5 (1995) Jonah Hex: Shadows West #1-3 (1999) Jonah Hex v2 #1- (2005-) The above list does NOT include his guest appearances in other DC Comics. I'll probably be blogging a little more on this upcoming film in the months to come, as more details come in. I have not yet tagged it as a 'must-see' at this point of time...
