Check out the first official image from Warner Bros. Pictures’ comic adaptation of Jonah Hex, which was directed by Jimmy Hayward and stars Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox, Will Arnett and Michael Shannon.

Hex, known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform, was a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood. He first appeared in the early 1970s in the issues of “All-Star Western” before graduating to his own series in 1977 that ran for about 10 years. A new series was launched in 2005. The character also had a run in the 1990s that combined the Western genre with supernatural elements.

Jonah Hex has his sights set on an August 10th, 2010 release.
