Crisis on Infinite Earths by Marv Wolfman

4.0

I enjoyed this reading of Crisis more than my first; I paid closer attention this time to George Perez's artwork, which is so damned good. I also have to walk back my previous criticisms of its overall arc, because despite being more than a little drawn out many of the events depicted function either in themselves or for the purpose of setting up characters in place for where they need to go next, especially in the latter parts.

It does a great job of giving some fave time for tons of characters, even if they're only I'm a couple of panels as part of an ensemble. There's several principals who make up the bulk, though, and I find it hard to complain about that, because it keeps things relatively simple and straightforward.

This is far from my favorite comic arc, but it's only because this happened that DC was able to set the stage for three consecutive storylines that I absolutely loved when I read them before. Crisis redefined what crossover events could be, and the landmark of comic history that it is cannot be denied.
