Crisis On Infinite Earths Deluxe Edition by George Pérez, Marv Wolfman, Jerry Ordway

3.0

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.
