I came to the comic party late, so this collection of a famous run of comics doesn't have much of an impact on me. I do appreciate how groundbreaking it was at the time and that it changed the DC comics that came after it.
I found the story very creative, but a bit it drawn out.

A necessary book in comic history but dear god was this a slog.
If you want to see this done really well, read Hickman's Fantastic Four/Future Foundation --> Avengers --> New Avengers. Same concept, better execution.
This is an important part of DC history and although the writing was original and solid for the time, it has not held up well at all. I don't doubt that this is a beloved comic amongst long time readers, but if you're in 2017 and beyond this isn't all that important. Just be thankful that it happened and you're not reading Uncle Sam and the super friends from Earth 3 and how they help Batman sometimes or whatever.
Recommended if you like comic history and don't mind a dated comic book that shows its age.

I’m not an avid comic reader at all
Bur after the Cw crisis crossover, I figured I had to read the original comics
And it was incredible! I dont know all the characters but it was still a fun read!
It’s also a bit tricky to read sometimes because the comic change how theyre read page by page

¿A donde más puedes ir cuándo tu primer gran crossover involucra salvar al multiverso en múltiples ocasiones? ¿Cómo atraes de nuevo la atención de los lectores?
Al ser el primer crossover de semejante magnitud, es el punto de comparación para todos los crossovers posteriores. No todos pueden aspirar a la ambición de este esfuerzo de DC ni todos serán igualmente atractivos para el lector. Crisis on Infinite Earths sin duda cambió la manera en que se hacen los cómics y aún actualmente su legado persiste.
En cuanto a la historia en sí, es muy larga. Alcanza un climax en varios momentos y continúa sin cesar, de modo que resulta cansado leer todo en conjunto, sin tener que esperar por cada número que la compone, como ocurrió originalmente. El diálogo y las caracterizaciones son propias de esa época, así que suenan demasiado melodramáticas si las comparamos con los cómics actuales, pero tienen el efecto de que la exposición exagerada de lo que ocurre facilita saber quién es quién, considerando que muchos personajes que participan en este evento hace muchos años que han caído en el desuso y otros han sido olvidados por completo.
Eso sí, el dibujo de George Pérez es impresionante. No creo que nadie pudiera ser capaz de dibujar a tantos personajes por tantas páginas y aun así que todo luciera impecable y dinámico. Este e el punto más fuerte de este evento, y tan sólo por eso, valdría la pena darle un ojo.

Just too long.
MAJOR SPOILER WARNINGS AHEAD
This book went on too long. I like the building of dread, initially, but it went on for issues before any real plot started. And then there way too many false victories. Using one is a trope, two is an eye roll. Three is absurd. But how many times did they defeat the anti-monitor only to have him not really be defeated? Five? Ridiculous.
The scope of the story was great. The actual plot itself was good, but it was just too freaking long.

The original gigantic crossover, but a little too all over the place for my tastes. It feels like wolf man was trying to hit every current add character, but rather than making it feel like a vast epic, it just feels like a grab bag of random characters, none of who, ever really make an impact.
I understand the significance and importance of Crisis. I know the reason why it was done. I just don’t think it was done well. Also I’m not a super fan of the entire DC catalog. I like and read some DC series but not all of them. I think this would be better for a super fan that reads all or almost all the series by DC.
