I don't know that I had ever read the whole Crisis story. I know I read some of this at the time. And that I read about the impact of Crisis in other books. I certainly didn't realize how much of the Arrow-verse came directly from the comics and Crisis. But I didn't like this much. I didn't like the whole structure of it - with the Monitor and Anti-Monitor and Harbinger and Pariah. And I didn't like it any better when basically Marvel ripped this off years later. It was cool to see all the characters. And it may have made sense to get rid of the many Earths. But I didn't like this as story. But it wasn't bad, it just wasn't good. But it is so foundational, it still feels important.

Crisis On Infinite Earths did so much to change not only the comic continuity of DC Comics, but the way comics were written world wide. Well written with emotional moments across the board. The Anti-Moniter was a well respected Antagonist, with a believable mission and backstory. My only issue is that because this crossover took place over the entire DC universe, that more characters did not get even more page time.

It is dated and just okay. Must-read if you're super into DC comics, though (which is why I read it).

This story exists because DC had a huge multiverse going on that was becoming hard to control and keep track of. So the great Marv Wolfman and George Perez came in a write a cataclysmic event that brought everything back to one Earth and a single universe. This is the novelization that Wolfman wrote based on the comic.
This story is for the most part told through the Flash/Barry Allen’s eyes as he finds himself dead as the story begins. He doesn’t know how he died but finds himself being transported through time and space; jumping to different Earths and seeing faces he both recognizes and doesn’t.
It was cool seeing all the different Earths and how each is compared to Earth-1 and how the heroes and villains are changed depending on which Earth they’re from. I really like the idea of Jay Garrick and Uncle Sam, (while real people on Earth-2 and Earth-S) existed on Earth-1 in comics and war propaganda because things from the multiverse filtered in via dreams and thoughts to their Earth-1 author’s heads.
Never having read the comic but knowing the end goal was to get back to one Earth, this book was a good way to get the story of Crisis. I liked popping between characters and times because it added to the urgency that the multiverse was ending and all these heroes and villains had to come together to find a solution. If you’re looking for a novelization of a comic that defined how DC Comics set about restarting their characters and comics in a more congruent way then this is the book for you.
