About the Author

In a career that has spanned nearly 30 years, Marv Wolfman has helped shape the heroic careers of DC Comics' Green Lantern, Blackhawk, and the original Teen Titans, as well as Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Nova. In addition to co-creating The New Teen Titans and the universe-shattering Crisis on Infinite Earths with George Pérez, Wolfman was instrumental in the revamp of Superman after Crisis, the development of The New Teen Titans spin-off series Vigilante, Deathstroke the Terminator, and Team Titans, and created such characters as Blade for Marvel, along with Night Force and the retooled Dial "H" For Hero for DC. In addition to his numerous comic book credits, Wolfman has also written several novels and worked in series television and animation, including the Superman cartoon of the late 1980s and currently the hit Teen Titans show on Cartoon Network.

George Pérez started drawing at the age of five and hasn't stopped since. Born on June 9, 1954, Pérez began his professional comics career as an assistant to Rich Buckler in 1973. After establishing himself as a penciller at Marvel Comics, Pérez came to DC in 1980, bringing his highly detailed art style to such titles as Justice League of America and Firestorm. After co-creating The New Teen Titans in 1980, Pérez and writer Marv Wolfman reunited for the landmark miniseries Crisis On Infinite Earths in 1985. In the aftermath of that universe-smashing event, Pérez revitalized Wonder Woman as the series' writer and artist, reestablishing her as one of DC's preeminent characters and bringing in some of the best sales the title has ever experienced. He has since gone on to illustrate celebrated runs on Marvel's The Avengers, CrossGen's Solus, and DC's The Brave and the Bold.

I just received the book on Friday, March 15, 2024, which was 6 days earlier than anticipated. I am glad it arrived on time much sooner than expected. I plan to try to have Marv Wolfman autograph this later this month at WonderCon 2024 (Friday, March 29th - Sunday, March 31st).

The ingenious and captivating ideas woven throughout the narrative have me utterly enthralled. Each page keeps me spellbound, and I am already planning to revisit it in the future. Truly a masterpiece!
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2016
A book has to be pretty outstanding if I bought the same book three times in a row. Well, that's exactly what I've done in this case. This is the third time I've had to replace Crisis On Infinite Earths. I have many other trade paperbacks and I've always considered this book an absolute essential in my collection. I remember when I was a teenager that both this and Marvel's "Secret Wars" came out around the same time as two maxiseries (way back before comics were collected in the trade paperbacks that we all know and love). Back then, I read both but was collecting some of the Secret Wars issues and read Crisis whenever I went to the mall. When both made it to trade paperback a decade or so later, I chose Crisis because it had better plotting, story, and art. Even though I'd always been a bit more biased in favor of Marvel, this was one of those times when DC knocked it out of the park. Where I'm concerned, this is the first and best mega-crossover (even including the Justice League/Avengers crossover, which was also drawn by the superb George Perez).

Flash forward three decades later, comics have become oversaturated with so many crossover events, deaths, relaunches, reboots, and reimaginings so as to become virtually meaningless. These aren't the special events they used to be. Now, it can be said that Crisis is the one that started it all. I can't pretend that I'd know what it would be like for a first time reader to pick up this book and try to make sense of it all, because I'm an avid comic book reader from way back (long before all the mega-events & crossovers). I was familiar with a majority of the characters in Crisis, so I had no difficulty keeping up with what was happening in the story. Moreover, I always find something new to be surprised and delighted by with each new reading. Kudos to Marv Wolfman, George Perez, and Jerry Ordway for crafting a magnificent tale that's as enjoyable now as it was three decades ago.

This book should be required reading for anyone who enjoys superhero comics. DC has tried going back to the well again, but with disastrous results (Infinite Crisis, among others). Marvel has also "gone beyond the pale" in a lot of their event book,as well. As i said, I'm glad to have Crisis On Infinite Earths in my collection.

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2019
An iconic DC event that changed the entire status quo, Crisis of Infinite Earths is a major crossover that intelligently dealt with DC's complicated continuity in an elegant way--by recognizing, rather than ignoring, inconsistencies in DC's comics, treating them as an interconnecting "multiverse" and then cleaning up that continuity in brutal, world-ending fashion. It's really so simple and so brilliant when you think about it, and it would go on to not only shape the DC universe for a generation, but would generate other "crises" and reshapings of the multiverse in events to come.

The only reason I mark Crisis On Infinite Earths down slightly is because, while it's a genius concept, the execution is less than stellar, and the multitude of characters and worlds and battles make this a slog to get through in practice. It's also hard for new readers to jump in on; whereas more modern comics are better at seeding refreshers and exposition to get new or foggy readers up to speed, this requires (and presupposes) a lot of background knowledge of a lot of major characters. But, even so, there's no denying that this is an incredibly iconic moment in DC's history, and an absolute must read for any DC fan trying to learn the major moments in the DC continuity. It's definitely worth reading at least once, if just to experience an event of this magnitude.

This edition has the great wraparound cover by George Perez and Alex Ross..... and it includes some nice extras like some character sketches and pencil pages by Perez.

It also includes the two issues of History of the DC Universe that was published shortly after Crisis.

Great book to have. :)
