- Monumental epoch in the history of comics
This was a pivotal point in the history of DC comics as they strove to clean up a ton of loose ends that had accumulated over the past half century and they did as good a job as anyone could given the enormous task they had ahead of them. Wolfman is servicable at the writer but it's mostly Perez and Ordway's inks (issue 5 to 12) that mark this series as a high quality event. This series was 3 years in the planning and execution. It was going to be SO big, that after they had started, Marvel found out about it and quickly ground out Secret Wars so it could hit BEFORE Crisis and the quality shows it. They knew Crisis and Perez would be a whopper in terms of sales so they had to throw something out there to compete. Secret Wars is basically thought of as a joke now but Crisis's quality has stood the test of time, even if some of the changes made have not. Definitely worth the buy though.

- Holy cow this thing is long
I Originally sat down dying to read this book. After the first hour or so of reading i decided that it had become more a chore than anything else. Not saying the book is boring, cuz its not. But its so dang long...it was almost painful. Otherwise the story is good, if not a little chaotic at times. If you have some bad A.D.D. then you may have trouble following most the pages in this book as about a million things happen in the span of like 5 pages. I gotta say though, when i finished the book, I felt alot better about it, and realized just how much i enjoyed it. If you dont know alot about some of the smaller characters in the dc universe, this will update you just fine.

- Great artwork, NOT fun to read...
Another reviewer said that Crisis on Infinite Earths is fun to read. Not really, unless you're one of those people who enjoys watching Faces of Death videos. Crisis on Infinite Earths is a nearly 400-page string of countless deaths. My first reaction to it, in fact, was horror... it's much more of a horror story than a "fun" story.

The book is also, as some have said, very confusing. It's definitely not for casual readers who have never heard of Crisis on Infinite Earths, or already read background information on it. For a better DC crossover, I would recommend Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross. For a more fun book, I would recommend Bizarro Comics.
