About the Author
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.

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 March 15, 2024
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.

It also includes the two issues of History of the DC Universe that was published shortly after Crisis.
Great book to have. :)
