Jonah Hex Trailer

Only read a few comics, so I can't comment on it's relation to the source material, but this looks a bit too much like a super-hero movie to me. Did Hex have powers and steampunk gadgets?

Jonah Hex is possibly the equivalent of an Olympic athlete in terms of strength, speed, and toughness. He has iron willpower and incredible accuracy with firearms, tomahawks and even throwing knives. But no, he isn't superhuman, and he didn't use gadgets. Well, except there was that unfortunate post-apocalyptic comic that he was in for a while, so that version of Hex did use some gadgets. Purists consider that run an abomination and pretend that it didn't happen.
The current Jonah Hex series is probably the best ever. Almost every issue is a complete story by itself, and the writing is very good. Expect violence, depravity, and then harsh, unreasonable justice (or at least retribution) at the hands of bounty hunter Jonah Hex.

I had zero faith in it to begin with when I saw that Megan Fox was cast in it as a gunslinging prostitute. She's this generation's Pamela Anderson.
Jonah Hex is great stuff- it's not necessarily supernatural (although a couple of the Vertigo books like "Riders of the Worm and Such" were, but they're definitely "weird" westerns.

I am of a mixed mind about this quote. On one hand, I couldn't agree more, On the other, I am not quite sure how much better you could make a movie with Megan Fox in it, than casting her as a gunslinging prostitute.
