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.
This popped up via Twitter and I tracked it down on Youtube. It appears to be originally posted on Megan-Fox.com. It's a commercial for SyFy where they are advertising they will debut the trailer on April 29. Only ten seconds long and some of that is the SyFy logo
So what do we actually SEE on this teaser?
Hex on a horse.
Leila jerking open a door.
Hex using a makeshift flamethrower.
An explosion (that I figure is the Confederate ironclad seen here.)
Hex on a horse equipped with dual Gatling guns.
Lot of folks getting mowed down by the guns.
Leila pointing a pistol.
Hex riding away from some sort of mining operation as it explodes.
Quentin Turnbull.
A crossbow/pistol hybrid?
Hex & Leila jumping (?) from an explosion (more than likely the Confederate ironclad explosion.)
The Gatling guns supports some of what I read in the original script and what was on the storyboards. The explosions jive with some of what I had heard about the film blowing up a lot of the actual sets. The flamethrower and crossbow confirm another rumor about the range of weapons in the film (even if they weren't actually invented by the time the film is set in, they were possible with known technology.)
I'm looking forward to seeing a longer trailer.

Actually- this makes me feel slightly better. It looks, I don't know, kind of "fun". Some of the tweets from the sneak were brutal but this film will never be confused with Bergman, and I will settle for "stuff blowed up real good" Thanks Dwayne.
"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
