The Jinny Hex Special #1 is a surprising triumph of remarkable storytelling, delivering a powerfully emotional and highly entertaining comic with the promise of undeniable potential in the future of the DC Universe. Read Full Review
Visaggio, Melnikov, and Guerrero find a strikingly unique appeal to a relatively new character. The issue feels a lot like a pilot episode of a whole new series. Ginny and Lady Bird are great fun to follow in a one-shot that makes a very strong case for further adventures. The two characters work well together, carving out a potentially intrepid trail through the shadows of major landmarks in the DC universe. Read Full Review
‘Jinny Hex Special' #1 is a fun ride from start to finish. We get to learn more about this new edition to the DCU while writer Magdalena Vissagioand artistGleb Melnikov also do well in setting up all the key pieces of Jinny's backstory should we ever get a follow on series. A reminder of the innocent, fun titles we've seen coming out of Wonder Comics and a hope this imprint has the strength to hold on in there based on the strength of this one-shot. Read Full Review
The artwork in this issue is simply gorgeous. Everything has a real, genuine western feel about it; cowboys, cowgirls, even saloons and flintlocks. Aside from the very obvious space and alien artefacts, it feels like an old timey cowboy story. I loved it. Read Full Review
Jinny Hex Special#1 is a much-needed insight into a new character that provides a thought-provoking narrative about the family we are born into and the families we choose. Read Full Review
Jinny Hex Special #1 tells a tale that is equal parts adventure, fun, and emotion. While this book is just a one-shot, its characters are strong and engaging enough that I hope we may yet see more of Jinny and company in the future. Read Full Review
The strong, confident voice of Jinny and her friend Lady Bird are the core of this title and the characterization Visaggio creates shines brighter than the warm sun on the horizon. Jinny clearly has more mysteries to uncover and this creative team should be along for the adventure. Read Full Review
Jinny Hex Special #1 is a delightful read. Visaggio makes the most out of these characters, building their pasts while also giving them a bright future. The art is beautiful throughout, making this special the complete package. Those who want a fun one-shot should pick this one up. Read Full Review
This special issue was a fun romp featuring a great new edition to the DC Universe. Who knows if she will become a regular anywhere any time soon, but it was great to spend time with, what I consider, one of the real bright spots of Young Justice. The world needs more mad ass female lead books. I am hopeful, this is just the beginning of her story and not the end. Read Full Review
Still, Visaggio writes an enjoyable script that is entertaining throughout. The art is decent on this as well. I enjoyed this book and wouldn't mind further adventures for this character at all. Read Full Review
Melnikov's art is strong as usual, as he can shift environments pretty seamlessly, but the real star is Visaggio's compelling writing of Jinny and her supporting cast. It's very different from her past DC work, but no less strong. Read Full Review
Pistol packin', wild west vibes with laser guns, magic and a surprise guest appearance and old business that needs settling. Read Full Review
It's a likeable adventure that provides some insight into Jinny's life, but I'm not sure if it's going to be the springboard to more. Read Full Review
In spite of some underdeveloped motifs and banal plotting, Jinny Hex Special still serves up plenty of excitement and shows readers a new heroine with plenty of attitude ready to make her mark on DC Comics. Read Full Review
Couple bad judgment with a final battle that makes almost no sense, and you wind up with a one-shot that really didn't deserve 40 pages at $4.99. At best, this should have been tightened up, pared-down, and printed as a backup story in a better title. Read Full Review
Honestly nothing special but not bad either.
This was alright. Some of the dialogue was rough, but overall, this read fine. Not sure that I'd want more but as is, this is the most Jinny Hex has felt like an actual character since her inception.
When I first saw this book came out I was very excited as Jinny is one of the new characters from DC I’ve liked a lot after reading issue 1 of Young Justice. However , this book goes totally off the rails by its end with a poor solution to its villain. This book is very pretty though and the colors were lovely.
no good, not bad.
what's worse than ovarian cancer? this comic.
So they took a Jonah Hex story and subbed in a female descendent. Meh, art was ok but if you're going to tell an Jonah Hex story just use the character that people really want to read about. This book didn't cut it.
