This collects All-Star Western #7-12. Jonah Hex, Amadeus Arkham, and Tallulah Black take on the Religion of Crime and run afoul of the Court of Owls.
There was nothing wrong with this and I liked it, especially the return of Tallulah Black, but it really drives home how much DC relies on Batman to do numbers. Alan Wayne, Bruce Wayne's ancestor is a prominent character, the Court of Owls are afoot, the mayor is named Cobblepot, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some other Batman reference.
The art and writing are top notch but I have to think the move to Gotham was keeping both things afloat and driving off fans of the previous done in one Westerns featuring Jonah Hex.

I love Jonah Hex, I love Gotham, I love Jonah Hex in Gotham with Amadeus Arkham as his companion. Gray and Palmiotti's love for the character always shows whenever they tackle him.

The fact that every woman is literally old or buxom is a bit more problematic and some of the backing strips are, frankly, terrible. But it’s... fine... I guess
