Women Wednesday: Jinny Hex Special #1

Jinnny Hex Special #1 is now on sale and I highly recommend it. Jonah Hex makes a cameo and the issue introduces a new villain by the name of Three-Eyed Jack (you won't believe who he actually is). There is even a surprise guest star at the end. I'm really hoping that she gets a regular series.
