DC Showcase short animated film.
Jonah Hex rides into town on a bounty hunt but his target is mysteriously absent, so he does some digging at the local saloon. Money can buy anything, it seems.
A sun bleached visual look gives this short a real identity.
I know nothing about the Jonah Hex character, but it didn't seem to matter.
The story is self-contained without any obvious need for extraneous comic knowledge. It’s a beautifully executed homage to the westerns of old with extra grit.
The musical score is fantastic. I want more.
4 red dead and very ripe out of 5
I'm curious about this one.
ReplyDeleteWill seek out.
They're all included on Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam, in extended versions. It didn't make sense to try and fit them all into one post so I made one for each. The longest of is only about 25 mins. Jonah was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYou'll like the music, I think.
Western flavored music always intrigues me.
ReplyDeleteThe Track Team did it. Tom put some Track Team score cues on a few of his 10 Songs if I recall correctly.
The Track Team did one of the others as well, I forget which one.
ReplyDeleteI should have said Catwoman isn't on Superman/Shazam! It's on Year One. You knew that but in case anyone else is reading. :p
