| - Having discovered that Doctor Dupree is the so-called Gotham Butcher, Jonah Hex is attacked by a very muscular thug. As he prepares to cut off Hex's head with a massive knife, Dr. Amadeus Arkham uncharacteristically fires a shot through the attacker's skull. Arkham is shaken by his first experience killing a man, and Hex advises him to rescue the Police Chief John Cromwell, who has been tortured by Doctor Dupree under the command of the Religion of Crime. With the chief released, Dupree is caught, but not before warning that the Religion of Crime will soon have control of Gotham. Afterwards, Cromwell, Hex, and Arkham meet with Detective Lofton to discuss the case. They agree that the threat of the Religion of Crime must be stopped, but Jonah Hex has no interest in continuing to be involved in the case. While an invitation is extended to Arkham to help, he admits that he has plans to open a psychiatric hospital. Suddenly, however, a nearby horse-drawn cart opens at the back to reveal a Gatling gun, which riddles both the police officials with bullets. Fortunately, Jonah Hex manages to grab Doctor Arkham, and throw him to the ground before they can be shot as well. As the cart speeds away, Hex rushes after it, leaping onto the back and shooting the gunmen dead. He commandeers the cart, stealing one of the horses, with hopes of selling it. Despite Arkham's pleas and protests, Hex determines to resume his search for the Trapps, rather than help stop the Religion of Crime. Later, the Trapp gang discovers from the newspaper that Jonah Hex is in town, and after killing one of the women they have captive, they find out too late that Hex has already found them.
