Now that it's 20 years later and Marv Wolfman's insanely complex 12-issue comic book series "The Crisis on Infinite Earths" is being sequelized (by DC's current "Infinite Crisis" mini), I figured it was time to try and make a little sense out of the old story. I knew the basic plot outline: these two feuding godlike beings known only as the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor are kind of the god-beings of the matter and anti-matter universes. The Monitor's matter universe had an infinity of variations, ... Read More

This book, unfortunately, has one of the worst jobs of editing that I have ever seen. Egregious spelling mistakes like 'coat hangar', misplaced full stops, words reversed in phrases and other bad things.
It did improve in the second half of the book, luckily.
I also think this is too short. It was based on a dense, 12 issue maxi-series, and suffered from being in two minds.
The main part of the novel is from the point of view of The Flash. He is a pivotal character, ... Read More

One of the most phenomenal comic book events of all time was the classic 1985 maxiseries "Crisis on Infinite Earths." In this book, Marv Wolfman and George Perez told an epic, universe-spanning saga, explaining the DC Comics Multiverse and merging all the various worlds into one.

But the fact remains that the comic was a seminal work and ... Read More

The book is absolutely innocuous. Anyone who reads the novelization is obviously a "superfan", someone who has dissected and digested every other Crisis on Infinite Earths-related media of the past 20 years. The book tells a different perspective and isn't particularly outstanding. However, let's face the rigid truth, worms...we're gonna buy it, anyway, because THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
The proofreaders were negligent; a multitude of grammatical inconsistencies litter this book. I'm an English teacher, ... Read More

While my parents grew up remembering where they were when JFK died, I grew up with a slightly different life-changing memory: where I was when the Flash died. I still vividly remember that spot on the floor in front of the magazine rack at the drug store as I watched my little world crashing around me with the death of my favorite super-hero. But he didn't die in his own series. He was just one of the many casualties of Crisis on Infinite Earths, a comic book mini-series put out by DC Comics in an attempt to ... Read More
