--> "Christ, woman, how many men do you see in a day?"
** "[[KilledMidSentence What happened to your face-]]"
--> "Cut mine shaving, what you do to yours?"

** The aforementioned [[PsychoForHire Burke]] is the psychotic [[TheDragon Dragon]] of Turnbull, and matches his boss's emotionless cruelty with sheer psychopathic sadism. Assisting Turnbull in all of his crimes, Burke personally, and happily, [[ManOnFire burns]] Jonah Hex's wife and [[WouldHurtAChild son]] alive, then holds Hex in place to be branded by Turnbull and left for dead. Fully aware, and approving, of Turnbull's plans to use his super weapon to wipe out thousands of innocents, Burke blows up an entire train to obtain parts for said weapon, killing the dozens of soldiers, citizens, and children on board, and later massacres the population of a small town to acquire the ammunition for Turnbull's superweapon. Kidnapping Hex's LoveInterest Lilah to use as a hostage, Burke takes sadistic glee in [[WouldHitAGirl smacking her around]]; threatens innocents with death for kicks; and regularly [[KickTheDog taunts Jonah about his family's deaths]]. Dying while laughing at Hex's misfortune, Burke was a [[AxCrazy homicidal lunatic]] who seemed to only work with Turnbull to satisfy his lust for {{sadis|t}}m and mass murder.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: With The Comicbook/{{New 52}} the fan-favorite ''Jonah Hex'' series was cancelled and replaced by ''All-Star Western''. The name change comes with a drastically new format and status quo: Instead of being a series of unconnected short stories featuring different artists it is now an ongoing story with a single artist and also features backup stories featuring other characters. The bigger change is the fact that Hex is now in Gotham working with Amadeus Arkham. The fanbase is appropriately split over this. Those opposed claim the new series isn't as unique as the old one, loses the "western" feel (due to the urban setting) and is a blatant attempt to cash-in on the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' franchise. Proponents claim that after a [[LongRunners six year run]] a change is welcome and that while it may have been a cash-in it ''worked'', with ''All-Star'' selling much better than ''Jonah Hex'' did and possibly saving the series.

* MyRealDaddy: Michael Fleisher took over writing duties for the character from creator John Albano in 1974 and continued to write the character until 1987, when the character's series was canceled. Over this 13 year period he wrote at least 125 Hex stories over three series (''Weird Western Tales'', ''Jonah Hex'' and ''Hex''), more than any other Hex writer. The Justin Gray/Jimmy Palmiotti writing team ''might'' reach comparable status too someday, as they've been writing the character since 2005 and show no signs of stopping.

* CompleteMonster [[MadDoctor William "Sawbones" Zimmerman]] was a brief but memorable foe of Jonah Hex. A former doctor during the Civil War, Zimmerman made a name for himself via horrible experiments and live dissections of prisoners of war, with his apprentices and himself also carrying out the same vivisections on blacks. After the war, Sawbones takes to kidnapping and murdering innocent young women without even the pretense it is for [[ForTheEvulz anything but enjoyment]]. When Hex falls into his hands, the doctor attempts to [[ColdBloodedTorture torture him to death]] as well, revealing he has a group of like-minded fellows he's trained that he intends to spread into the country, killing those they can via horrible means all [[ForScience in the name of twisted "science."]]

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Even the people who hated the film have said that Josh Brolin was a perfect choice to play Jonah.

* CompleteMonster: Quentin Turnbull without a doubt. Burke as well.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment / NightmareFuel: There's a brief scene inside an arena where a street fight is being held, and one of the two fighters looks like - we kid you not - a cross between Gollum from ''TheLordOfTheRings'' and a mountain lion.

* IronWoobie / JerkassWoobie: Hex is ''not'' a nice guy, but given the sheer amount of horrible things that happen to him throughout his life through no fault of his own, it's not surprising his disposition's so sour.
