Crisis On Infinite Earths

Crisis indeed.
This book was a rollercoaster ride from the beginning to the end! If you know nothing about the DC universe except Batman and Superman and green lantern, this is the place for you to get started. This book's full effects have not yet been revealed! It's still going on with the Convergence! That's how impacting this book is to the DC universe. The story is just mind blowing. I don't want to spoil anything for the readers. Just wear your seat belts as you plunge into the most ambitious story ever created by DC.

Good comic.
I'm a huge fan of the DC universe and had been really keen to read this comic for a while. It's a fairly long comic and honestly, I got a bit bored at parts, however, it has a pretty good story and was great to see almost every DC superhero in it. Overall, it was a good read. The packaging and delivery from Amazon was excellent.

Amazing story. Glad Marv thought of revamping the multiverse
Amazing story. Glad Marv thought of revamping the multiverse, frankly, it was pretty confusing.This omnibus is well worth the money

Review on Delivery, not the book contents.
The initial pages were folded & some parts are torned. This still is perfectly readable.

Make mine marvelous
When Crisis on Infinite Earth's was released I couldn't have cared less. I was lost in the Marvel multiverse. There was more Marvel than I could keep up with, why would i read anything from DC? And it wasn't just the monthly US Marvel imports. I was still endlessly rereading Dave Thorpe, Alan Moore and Alan Davis's omniverse stories with Captain Britain from a couple of years before this. Finding more in each rereading.Crisis reminds me a bit of those Captain Britain stories. Artistically Perez and Davis have a similar infinite capacity to draw the epic with detail, clarity, action, drama and emotion. Perez's Marvel work never really impressed me. It was ok. His work here is extraordinary, breathtaking, dumbfounding. You look at Zeck's art for Marvel's Secret Wars, that came out not long before this, and it's workmanlike. It does the job. Perez takes this story to another level.Forget Crisis on Infinite Earths (to the uninitiated Marvel fan the number of Earths is actually pretty underwhelming), this is Crisis of Infinite Characters. They just keep coming, more and more, some blink and you miss them. How Perez did it boggles the mind. Visually this is a feast, a feast of feasts.My knowledge of DC characters from that time is next to zero. So when I read this I wasn't disappointed at the treatment of a favourite character. I don't know who they were before or after this story. I'm reading this story as a standalone. For me, Perez and Wolfman might as well have been making most of these characters up. It still works brilliantly. That's also why it reminds me of the Thorpe/Moore/Davis Captain Britain omniverse, because they really did just make up a whole bunch of characters. They then mixed in cameos of several much older non-Marvel British comic book characters from the generation before, to enrich the story. Wolfman and Perez do something similar here. Even if the main purpose of the book was to reset a confusing array of DC characters and their continuity, they surely didn't need to include quite this many. But it works because they did.If I have a criticism I felt the storytelling flowed better after the first few issues. There were a few moments in those early issues where a handful of things didn't seem to make sense. I had to flip back a page and wonder, "what exactly happened in that frame?" Sometimes you've just got to trust the storytellers, and go with the flow.I don't know if the characters behave out of character like I'm so aware they do in almost every Marvel cross-over, from the original Secret Wars to Civil War (does anyone behave in character in Civil War?!? nope) to Original Sin. If Wolfman did manage to stay true to them all then good work, that's some feat. These characters are incredibly diverse, from genres that wouldnt usually be blended together, maybe one or two genres but not all of the genres at once. All I can say is the characters here worked for me.This is a maximalist epic, more is more was clearly Wolfman and Perez's guiding principal. It builds to a crescendo, then another, and another, and another, and... finally it ends.
