One of the great surprises of the New 52 relaunch of 2011 was an attempt by the creators to diversify the genres of comics that DC offered (even if their creators and main characters didn’t reflect any of that same diversity.) The fact that Jonah Hex was part of the lineup, albeit as an extension of Batman’s universe, was fun stuff, and it reminded me that, for a while in the 1980s, Jonah was basically a Western Mad Max in a future dystopia. His high-profile (including his hilariously deadpan diagnosis of time-travel in ‘Justice League Unlimited’) make Hex the best known of DC’s cowboy-types, but he’s hardly the only one around, which leads us to today’s two-gun query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) wouldn’t mind seeing The Two-Gun Kid in an active role somewhere again, asking: Which western character would you most like to see revived in ongoing adventures?

I like westerns with some twist, so probably Hex.
