Mini-Review
by Zach Demeter
The DC Showcase: Jonah Hex short is as entertaining as the previous The Spectre short, although it’s a tad bit less exciting. We don’t get much backstory on Hex and the only thing we can really take away from this short (other than the fantastic directing and animation) is that Hex will beat up and leave a woman stranded in the desert surrounded by the dead bodies of men she killed. Granted she wasn’t undeserving, but still...kind of strange subject matter for a short. The voice cast was also solid, with the likes of Thomas Jane, Linda Hamilton and Michelle Trachtenberg…although I honestly didn’t recognize anyone at first except for Jason Marsden. It's a brutal, swift little short.
