Solid artwork with a truly formidable foe. This is a well drawn, engaging story with some stilted dialogue and dated narrative techniques. A memorable, epic tale that is sure to entertain young and old alike.
DC's first big event lead by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. I'm tired lol. This was a 12 issue maxi-series that was suppose to take care of the mess that was their multi-verses. The story overall was actually really creative and I think that Marv and George find a really fun way to make an event feel so important and have some actual consequences. (for a while at least c;). This read was a little rough for me though as Marv really kinda just fills some pages with some crazy amount of info dumping and unnecessary dialogue. There are times where the book just feels slowed down but when the book is good, its good. We have some real epic moments in this series and the ending is actually pretty awesome. It just feels at times the the story isn't consistent entertaining wise. One thing that does stay consistent though is George Perez's artwork. We get some of his best work in this and I really don't see anyone else being able to do a book like this, better than Perez. This was around the time that Marvel's "Secret Wars" and I gotta say this is a lot better. Overall I think this is an important read for anyone who wants to get into DC. Has some parts that feel a little dragged but still a interesting and fun read.

Cheesy, confusing (not in a good way), desperately trying to be EPIC and IMPORTANT. To be fair, I don't have any real history with most of the characters or the worlds they strut around in, and I much prefer stories and art that are a bit more grounded. Oh well, still glad I read it.
This book was big in scope. I was interested in this DC classic after coming to this story arc in the CW DC crossover. This comic did suffer from being a bit clunky and not keeping the best pace. I also read this after reading The Infinity Saga with Marvel and this story pales in comparison to that, in my opinion. It seems the stakes are higher in this story than that of Marvel's, but Crisis was less enjoyable for me. I do think that this is a good read and well worth it, especially since it's one of DC's biggest events. I love it when comics zoom out and show you just how grand of a scale the playing field is to tell these types of stories. It shows you what you really love about your favorite heroes.
