Crisis on Infinite Earths #5 & #7

Jonah Hex didn't make a significant appearance in the rest of the Crisis, only appearing on two covers and one group shot.


Thankfully, Jonah's cover shot didn't get hit by the UPC box! He is visible in the lower left part of the cover.
He also makes an appearance in a huge group shot of everyone being gathered together on the JLS satelllite.
You can barely see him standing next to Kole.

His final appearance was on the cover of #7, the death of Supergirl cover.

Jonah is visible in the lower right corner, standing next to Blue Devil.

And that was all that you saw of Jonah in CoIE except for when the trade came out, old Jonah and thrown-into-the-future Jonah were both on the cover and on the poster. That's kinda weird since the Crisis had nothing to do with Hex ending up in the future!
In the upper right corner is Jonah Hex

and in the upper left corner is Hex
Not very good pics, I'll have to see if I can nab better ones off the web since I don't own this trade.

Crisis on Infinite Earths #3


Crisis on Infinite Earths #3 June 1985
"Oblivion Upon Us"

Since DC is pretty much on non-stop-event mode, I thought we would take a look back to the really big one that started it all, Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Placing this in context with Jonah Hex, this was around the end of the normal Jonah Hex run and some weird things were happening in his book with some hints being dropped that Jonah would be changed entirely. My first thought was that the events in Crisis would be the catalyst for the changes in Jonah's book, but that never panned out.

Jonah's part in the Crisis was very small, part of a montage that was used to show that the Crisis was spanning all of time and space.

The year in 1879 and Bat Lash gets tossed out of a saloon in Coyote, Texas....


..and that is pretty much that. I did enjoy the reference to JLA #198 - #199 which took place in 1878. Nice that they kept a small part of continuity there.

Once again from the cover, a close up of Jonah and his buds.
