When writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez initiated DC Comics' grandly entertaining 50th anniversary saga, "Crisis on Infinite Earths," in 1985, I remember being stunned at how exciting each of the dozen installments were, especially the unforgettable finale. As a pre-teen, I certainly never expected to see the Silver Age Flash and Supergirl killed off, or that Wonder Woman would be erased from existence (albeit temporarily). Yet, I very much understood the sheer magnitude of the changes ... Read More

Most readers know the point of this DC "event": over the years the DC universe had become increasingly cluttered with multiple earths and alternate universes. Apart from the Flash (the various incarnations of whom could vibrate into one or another) these universes were for the most part cut off from one another.

Given the commercial difficulties that necessitated the writing of this series of comics (i.e. the need to streamline the DC universe and cure writers of their growing obsession with complicated questions of continuity) it really would have been something if CRISIS had turned out to be even a moderately good story. It isn't, sadly - the whole thing reads like a giant engineering problem. Some nice cover art, though.

This book is an overview of the Crisis, ... Read More

The graphic novel that brought all of the DC worlds together and stopped most of the confusion that multiple universes created. If you are new in the DC universe and don't plan to delve into the stories in the past...start here but keep Wikipedia open to reference all of the characters you don't know right off the bat like Superman and the Flash. The story is well written and to see all of the characters we've all known for years come together and meet each other, some for the first time, is really cool. ... Read More
