A weekly review of every appearance of Jonah Hex. We cover Weird Western Tales, Jonah Hex, HEX, the Vertigo minis, the new series by Palmiotti, talk about the Jonah Hex movie with Josh Brolin, old comic book ads, and other junk from my personal collection.
Recap from Ch 1:You have decided to head west into the mountains. In the desert you can only travel about 30 miles (3 hexes) a day. You see a wreck in the distance; one of those flying crafts called hovos. This one's small; it's big enough for maybe one or two people. Do you examine it or keep moving? Voting ends Thursday at noon. Results posted Thursday night.

Examine! Always examine things. It's the first rule of RPGing.
Unless you have a really sadistic GM, anyway.
Oh, yeah, by the way: this blog rocks, and you, sir, rock for creating it.
Well, thanks Ed. I have to admit that I'm going to have to fudge some of the RPG stuff because I don't have the master rules telling me how to figure the results.
I'm just figuring how they should go or just assigning them to random results from a 1d6.
The rate the RPG is going, I should finish it about the same time I get around to reviewing Jonah Hex #92
Hell, yeah! Just make sure to throw a couple of good sized rocks, or dead squirrels or something at it first to check for booby traps. The crazed, cannibals that populate the future probably use crap like this to lure in unsuspecting prey.
"I have been awed and amazed by the amount of interesting material available on your Matching Dragoons website, and I want to congratulate you on your thoughtful, copious, excellent work." - Michael Fleisher

"For those who loved the DC comic book, the Matching Dragoons blog is your "one stop shop" for all things Hex. Enthusiastically written and with a great sense of humor, the blog also has a thorough recap of the entire comic series. Hexwise, it's the best site out there." - Jim Phelps at Film Score Monthly Forums
----------------------------------------------
"This is an excellent site to catch up on your Jonah Hex for the movie next summer. It gives a summary (often very humorous) of nearly every Hex issue made, including running body counts, injury lists, and bounty conversions!" - Newton Grimius at Wild West Online: Gunfighter Forums
----------------------------------------------
"Dwayne who runs this swell Jonah Hex weblog and I hope doesn't mind me encroaching on his territory a bit, here" - Mike Sterling at Mike Sterling's Progressive Ruin.
"Have you checked out this Jonah Hex site? I love it, especially the often-humorous take on the comics. It's clearly a labor of love for the blogger, who wasn't even born when DC Comics published Jonah Hex." - Nathan Dodge at the Fedora Lounge
"What I love about this blog are his regular features of comic book mail order ads from the '70s -- e.g., combat games with exploding pieces -- and the Weekly Wonderous Moment in Comics -- often featuring gorillas." - Batesline
------------------------------------------------
"This one's for Dwayne, "the canoe guy," over at Matching Dragoons, certainly the blogosphere's number one site for Jonah Hex. If you have even a nodding familiarity with Jonah past, present, or future (I really liked Hex, honestly) then you need to be over there on a regular basis. He does more than just Hex coverage, but hell, that's enough!" - Random Happenstance
------------------------------------------------
"For some fine on-going reviews and summaries of Jonah Hex' entire career, hitch up your cayuse and mosey on over to Matching Dragoons." - Lady, That's My Skull
---------------------------------------------
"There's a blog that's entirely about Jonah Freakin' Hex, man! Why have you kept this from me? I thought we were friends." - Noetic Concordance
-------------------------------------------------
"but go visit Dwayne over at Matching Dragoons, for LOTS of pictures of Jonah with his shirt off." - Green Lanterns Butts FOREVER!
---------------------------------------------
"Also, I mentioned Matching Dragoons once up top this entry, but I’ll plug it again as not just an outstanding Jonah Hex blog, but one which keeps a running total of Hex’s body count in all his stories and converts the bounty values into present day terms. That’s the kind of story-reading record-keeping that deserves a second plug. - The Comic Treadmill
----------------------------------------------
"Need more Hex in your life? Check out Matching Dragoons, there's a guy there also writing about the various Hex books. I salute him, he's trying to figure out the historical time line, which is a mystery to me." - Ginger Mayerson at Sequential Tart

Thank you. It's not often I get to type "booby."
Oh yeah, gotta examine it. It could yield some useful parts. Maybe could even fix it up for faster travel.
Also, pause to shed a tear for the sure extinction of the blue footed booby.
