Gotham City has always been a cesspool of criminals and trouble-makers - even back in the days of the Wild West - and things only get worse when bounty hunter Jonah Hex comes to town. Can Amadeus Arkham, a pioneer in criminal psychology, enlist Hex's special brand of justice to help the Gotham Police Department track down a vicious serial killer? Find out in this new series from HEX writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti, with lush artwork by Moritat (The Spirit)! The title features back-up stories starring DC's other western heroes.

DC Comics started promoting All-Star Western #1 with the release of preview interior art: So much for Gotham being a one-horse town. Look at that dazzling city in the late 1800's meticulously researched and brought to life by Moritat. Hex fans, you can relax. We're not going to abandon seventy issues of dedication and love for the ugly bounty hunter , co-writer Justin Gray said about the image below. Justin was also been interviewed about the new title at Comic Book Resources

Justin Gray spoke to Newsarama.com revealing some of the changes the move to All Star Western was to bring:

They were no longer writing stand-alone stories
Jonah was based in Gotham City for the longterm
Moritat would be the ongoing artist

BleedingCool.com reported that at the DC Retailer Conference in the UK, Bob Wayne, Senior VP DC Comics told the assembled retailers that he believed All-Star Western was the most under-ordered title from the DC New 52 Relaunch. He told folk the title would have long form, multi-part stories. He also mentioned that, as Jonah Hex was in nineteenth century Gotham, a member of the Penguin's Cobblepot family was to appear in #1, and the book would tie-in to the rest of the DC titles in certain ways.

Palmiotti and Gray chat with Comic Book Resources

Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray also discussed All-Star Western at the New York Comic Con 2011, saying that the extra pages for the book allowed them to further flesh out their stories and really give the book its own identity outside of their previous collaboration, Jonah Hex. We get a lot more story, Palmiotti said. We're not putting in any filler. Gray agreed: It felt important to make the book stand out more than Jonah Hex -- it would be the same character, but it would be All-Star Western. I think Arkham is great. Those two characters together are either hysterical or dangerous.

Jonah Hex Vol 2 ended with sales figures hovering around 10000 which had seen other titles axed, but with the shift to All Star Western and changes to the series format as part of DCnU we're told the powers that be at DC have had given Jimmy and Justin until spring 2012 to improve the readership numbers.

The percieved pointlessness of a reboot on a fairly stable character like Jonah Hex was taken up by some folks as an example of the absurdity of DC's plan, with the phrase Jim Lee should have put a cape on Jonah Hex and have him kill Superman popping up here and there in the comics blogosphere after a its use in the Hitler reacts to the DC Comics Reboot video.
