Crisis on Infinite Earths. By: Marv Wolfman


This is one of the very first "EVENT" story lines that started it all.  The book was a very ambitions project back in 1985. The purpose of this event was to take all the different DC universes and merge them in to a single universe. No more earth 1, 2, 3, 4, Prime....etc.  It would now make the DC universe more accessible for new readers to get on board.  I personally think they accomplished it.  Having read alot of the main DC characters, this was really a fun read to get some more specific background on why some of the characters are they way they are, and it was cool to actually see how Barry Allen (The Flash) dies. This book was very good for an almost 30 year old story. Though I would recommend it, I would not give it to a new reader.  There are a lot of characters there you have to have some type of working knowledge to be able to truly enjoy this story.
