About the Author

In a career that has spanned nearly 30 years, Marv Wolfman has helped shape the heroic careers of DC Comics' Green Lantern, Blackhawk, and the original Teen Titans, as well as Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Nova. In addition to co-creating The New Teen Titans and the universe-shattering Crisis on Infinite Earths with George Pérez, Wolfman was instrumental in the revamp of Superman after Crisis, the development of The New Teen Titans spin-off series Vigilante, Deathstroke the Terminator, and Team Titans, and created such characters as Blade for Marvel, along with Night Force and the retooled Dial "H" For Hero for DC. In addition to his numerous comic book credits, Wolfman has also written several novels and worked in series television and animation, including the Superman cartoon of the late 1980s and currently the hit Teen Titans show on Cartoon Network.

George Pérez started drawing at the age of five and hasn't stopped since. Born on June 9, 1954, Pérez began his professional comics career as an assistant to Rich Buckler in 1973. After establishing himself as a penciller at Marvel Comics, Pérez came to DC in 1980, bringing his highly detailed art style to such titles as Justice League of America and Firestorm. After co-creating The New Teen Titans in 1980, Pérez and writer Marv Wolfman reunited for the landmark miniseries Crisis On Infinite Earths in 1985. In the aftermath of that universe-smashing event, Pérez revitalized Wonder Woman as the series' writer and artist, reestablishing her as one of DC's preeminent characters and bringing in some of the best sales the title has ever experienced. He has since gone on to illustrate celebrated runs on Marvel's The Avengers, CrossGen's Solus, and DC's The Brave and the Bold.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2016
A book has to be pretty outstanding if I bought the same book three times in a row. Well, that's exactly what I've done in this case. This is the third time I've had to replace Crisis On Infinite Earths. I have many other trade paperbacks and I've always considered this book an absolute essential in my collection. I remember when I was a teenager that both this and Marvel's "Secret Wars" came out around the same time as two maxiseries (way back before comics were collected in the trade paperbacks that we all know and love). Back then, I read both but was collecting some of the Secret Wars issues and read Crisis whenever I went to the mall. When both made it to trade paperback a decade or so later, I chose Crisis because it had better plotting, story, and art. Even though I'd always been a bit more biased in favor of Marvel, this was one of those times when DC knocked it out of the park. Where I'm concerned, this is the first and best mega-crossover (even including the Justice League/Avengers crossover, which was also drawn by the superb George Perez).

Flash forward three decades later, comics have become oversaturated with so many crossover events, deaths, relaunches, reboots, and reimaginings so as to become virtually meaningless. These aren't the special events they used to be. Now, it can be said that Crisis is the one that started it all. I can't pretend that I'd know what it would be like for a first time reader to pick up this book and try to make sense of it all, because I'm an avid comic book reader from way back (long before all the mega-events & crossovers). I was familiar with a majority of the characters in Crisis, so I had no difficulty keeping up with what was happening in the story. Moreover, I always find something new to be surprised and delighted by with each new reading. Kudos to Marv Wolfman, George Perez, and Jerry Ordway for crafting a magnificent tale that's as enjoyable now as it was three decades ago.

This book should be required reading for anyone who enjoys superhero comics. DC has tried going back to the well again, but with disastrous results (Infinite Crisis, among others). Marvel has also "gone beyond the pale" in a lot of their event book,as well. As i said, I'm glad to have Crisis On Infinite Earths in my collection.

A really good comic that shows just about every little piece of the DC Universe at the time, ironically before it was fully established as a singular universe with the majority of these characters. Definitely see why it is held in high regard.

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024
I've been a lifetime comics' fan, both DC and Marvel, and even I had a very hard time following it; there are just SO MANY heroes, all of them I think, and the major ones with storylines that Marv Wolfman put in there, hence it can get very hard to follow (the different earths most of all, I lost track of who was from where.
He also has these multiple stories going on all around the main one, so the pages are VERY BUSY and distracting at times, but to his credit, he wanted a full nod to most heroes and a few villains, and at least inclusion for all of the rest and he did an excellent job, but don't expect to read it just once and get it all. Two very key characters die, but it was necessary for this novel thing they were doing, which is to go back to just one earth and one reality, which means a lot of the heroes and villains don't make it, though one of them just had another earth's version take over the role, and it was no big thing. The other one was major and they did a double-sized issue on that heroine.
Also, while getting them all is cool, but did Kamandi the Last Boy on Earth really need a major role? They didn't even bother to give the poor kid a shirt, and then left him alone AGAIN on his horrible earth with some lame "you know the monsters here best" excuse, but he's a KID though he shouldn't look exactly like he did when I read a couple issues in the run 50 years ago. Little flaws like that and the constant but unnecessary appearance of things like dinosaurs for the villains to suddenly have trouble fighting is just sloppy filler. Seriously, TWO pterodactyls hold Superman's arms back like nothing and suddenly he's helpless? It's a common occurrence in comics to try and balance heroes and villains so they match up better, and it's a bad one.

Overall, it's a great book and story from a great writer with a tough job and a MAJOR turning point for Marvel at the time as well, but now multiverses are all the rage (it used to be time travel), so having all sorts of versions of other heroes, villains and realities still goes on. DC itself followed this with the Zero Hour crisis where another villain, Parallax, wanted to go back to the beginning of time and rewrite it all, and there was one more with the Monarch, both of whom were actually heroes that went bad due to loss and grief.

I recommend this graphic novel highly if you love comics and know most of them well-enough, but most other people would be confused as all get-out so I wouldn't recommend this to a new reader to comics or a casual one.

Reviewing this in 2022, it is every difficult to put on an 80's lens to review. Everything seems corny, outdated and very "pow kapow". Pushed though but could never bring myself to enjoy it as much as I wanted to.
