[edit] Wayne-cestor

I always got a vibe from the Batman animated series that Jonah Hex was a distant ancestor of Bruce Wayne. Did they drop any hints about this in the comics, or am I just imagining things? M.Neko

There has not been any reference in a WWT/JH/Hex/JH2 book of Jonah being related to Wayne. I have not read all of the Vertigo or Swamp Thing guest appearances. This might have been mentioned in a Batman book though.Okiedokiegames

[edit] How to edit the right column info page?

Just a small niggling detail (aren't they all) which I'd like to correct, but how? If someone else has the ability, please change the "Also makes use of Navy Colt .44 Dragoon pistols" to these weapons: 1873 Colt Peacemaker .45-.70, Colt Dragoon .44, Colt Navy .36, & .45-.70 Winchester Rifle. There was no Colt Navy .44 Dragoon nor a .30-.60 rifle from Henry, Winchester or Marlin so far as I'm aware. Pemigewasset 03:48, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Pemigewasset

[edit] Status?

Any opinions on if characters deceased in continuity, but active in a period historical title like this should be listed as "active" or "deceased"? Chris Stangl 21:33, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

• That's kinda confusing, especially considering that the relaunch is still going... I'd say, list him as deceased since 1904.--DarthKobold 04:49, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hex

I notice this article completely lacks detail on the series Hex, in which Jonah was transported to a post apocalyptic 21st century and had adventures there. Anyone know enough about it to write a section? - 66.93.144.171 21:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I know that the latter issues had some of the worst artwork of any comic book ever sold and it was a disservice to the great western comic book that was Jonah Hex. It was a futile attempt to keep the character selling by turning him into a "Mad Max" fish out of water person. It was garbage.204.80.61.10 21:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)Bennett Turk

[edit] Bio

The Biography could be beefed up but I don't trust my memory enough right now.

-childhood (father/mother), teens/gun training/Apaches, Civil War

-bounty hunting/scarring/travel/marriage/kid

-brought to future for entertainment, some sort of gunfighter showdown

-gets back (somehow?), shot and killed

-stuffed, circus, restaurant

[edit] help me with Publication History

I'm going to add a list of every one of his publications so that this article can be the ultimate resource. Title can be followed by a writeup (Jololli 09:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Winter brothers lawsuit

Someone may want to add this information to the article.--Robbstrd 22:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Good call. I've made a start but might need a few run throughs to tease the nuances out of it (and soemone with some legal knowledge to make sure what is said is strictly correct). (Emperor 00:26, 29 April 2007 (UTC))
