Excellent. As always! SUCH a great read... And I absolutely LOVE Jonah as a staggering, blackened skeleton at the end ("stay away from me").
It's a helluva counterpoint to his almost desperate search for peace, his love of Maggie, and his all-too-human sense of emptiness when he finds himself alone just hours before.
I never seem to be able to comment on these issues without using the word 'brilliant', so BRILLIANT it is!! :-)

I love that I can foul this guy up six ways to Sunday and it gets called "brilliant". ;D The entire issue was pretty much a set-up for that last scene, a way to show the reader just how messed up Jonah can now get yet still function. It also let us crawl around in his head for a while: I've said it before, but the last hundred-odd years of isolation has changed him. The old Hex wouldn't have given a damn about being alone for so long. Matter of fact, he probably would have perferred it. Back then, he'd sort of conditioned himself to accept that lonely life due to multiple rejections from all corners of the human race -- it's easier to just push everyone away than to risk the pain. Nowadays, he's so starved for even a shred of recognition that he doesn't know how to deal with it. As for his "desperate search for peace"...just wait a few more issues.  |
