All Star Western Featuring Jonah Hex #19!!
All Star Western Featuring Jonah Hex #19 – where Jonah meats
Booster Gold in the old west. The story
starts with a lot of posturing until Hex establishes his dominance over Booster
Gold (was there ever any doubt?). Hex is
after an evil outlaw gang and Booster is the sheriff of a local small town –
unsurprisingly the gang Hex was tracking arrives at the town and robs the bank
burning down most of the town and killing many of the townsfolk. Needing a rest before heading out after the
bad guys we learn the story of how Booster Gold became sheriff of this small
town which somehow includes information from before Booster arrived in the time
period of the current story. The backup
story is another Stormwatch story of the Master Gunfighter. He comes upon a wagon train attacked by
bandits and the blood on the ground from the fight attracts what appear to be
werewolves that can be killed by regular bullets. Apparently the Master Gunfighter is good at
fighting the supernatural. The survivors are sent off to a nearby town
and the Gunfighter is met by Stormwatch.
I was not really impressed by the backup story and the main story needed
more time to develop. I fear that this
Booster Gold has not retained any of his character development from previous
storylines.
