Jonah Hex is a wanted man. Pursued by the relentless minions of the aging, vengeful Southern patrician Quentin Turnbull, this outlaw has finally pushed the frontier limits. Now countless bounty-hunters, professional killers, and desperate thieves are on his trail, each with different tactics and motives for wanting to return him to Turnbull to die a torturous death. It will take all his skill and toughness to evade the traps, survive the gunfights, and outrun the army of manhunters on his trail. Worst of all, the most recent and colossal bounty has attracted hunters of an entirely different caliber; seven especially motivated, incredibly skilled individuals that are as dangerous as Jonah Hex himself. Some are younger than him… some have better weapons… some come with reinforcements… and at least half are smarter than him. Jonah Hex’s only hope is to play these seven off of one another, using wit and cunning to pit their greed, hate, and desperation to fuel one last draw where he could be victorious. But even if he survives this latest ploy, there is still no guarantee that his enemies will stop. No… the only way to resolve this situation? Defeat the worst of the worst, the best of the best… and travel down to kill Quentin Turnbull. (A hardcore Western with none of the camp of the first Jonah Hex film).
