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.
Finally got to see the new Brave & Bold cartoon on Cartoon Network and I have to say that I approve. Batman is from the 60's, not campy, but has a Bat-symbol on everything. Tonight's episode featured Aquaman and he was a pompous King of the Seas and I have to admit I enjoyed it!
The best part is the opening sequence with a running montage of future guests and in case you didn't catch it, here is the best part. Jonah Freakin' Hex and Kamandi, the last butt-kickin' boy on Earth!!
I have only seen the Plastic Man episode, but it was not bad. I was wondering if that was Kamandi and Hex outlines in the opening. Look forward to seeing them.
Oh, good heaven's yes, I'm enjoying the heck out of this series. It's nice to have both a lighthearted take on Batman, AND so many second-tier characters. I am awaiting the episode with Guy Gardner, with bated breath.
"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

we haven't seen it yet here in the UK, but I am about as stoked as a bloke can be about this. I CANNOT WAIT. it just looks so gosh-darned cool.
Don't spoil me, don't spoil me! I'm going to watch this episode tonight. I haven't had the time, but I've loved the two episodes I've seen already :)
