Jonah Hex and the Shadow of Death #1 (2nd Printing)
In a small town called Ashecott, something evil has arrived.
Something more dangerous than a gunslinger, more sinister than an outlaw, and older than the town it seeks to infect.
Something from a world beyond the only one its victims have ever known. Something darker.
Unfortunately for that evil, Jonah Hex has taken notice.
Not just of the otherworldly entities surrounding his home or the child with mysterious abilities they seek to capture—but also of the chance to finally redeem himself.
