This overwhelmed me, but it comes down to the fact that I don't know most of these characters and I didn't really want to read it, but I promised someone that I would give it a try. Well, I tried, and now I want to cry lol.
Doesn't grab me. But I love the fact that Dawnstar is in it.
I got the DC Dollar Comics reprint of this for my birthday just in time for the television adaptation. It definitely got me hyped. It was like a weird flashback reading this as an adult. I forgot how cheesy the Crime Syndicate’s costumes were. I forgot how random The Monitor’s team at the beginning of the event was. Still one of, of not THE, greatest DC event ever.
The first issue of the twelve-Issue Crisis on Infinite Earths, one of the biggest comic book events of the eighties, in which DC Comics attempted to simplify their universal continuity by creating a massive event that threatened to destroy all (and did some) of the myriad of alternate universes and earths (Earth-One, Earth-Two, Earth-Three, etc...) unless the heroes and villains across the multiverse band together to defeat the mysterious threat.In this premier issue, the mysterious Monitor send...
Story and art still hold up after all these years.The excitement and mystery of Crisis is still there. Highly recommended for everyone.
I can't believe it's taken me so long to get around to reading such a pivotal and influential classic of the DC universe. This is a really great issue and introduction to the series. It was a bit weird and confusing at times, especially given how many characters are included, but I am excited to continue on in the series. Definitely a strong beginning.
2.5 starsI think my main issue with this is both that I didn’t know barely any characters AND the adaptation spoiled it a bit.I have extremely mixed feelings on what happened in that crossover... but this is not the time nor the place for that.The other thjng was... Ronny and Frost? I’m cool with them being enemies, perfectly fine with it. Enemies to lovers? Dope, let’s do it.But...... not in that way. Not in a mind control hormone enduring weird creepy..... no. Like that just bothered me WAY mo...
"Crisis Beginnings" is an excellent mini-essay on how to manage a multiverse. And I loved this tidbit:Peter Sanderson, now an assistant editor at Marvel, came on staff at DC about three years ago as a researcher for CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS. His job was to read every DC comic published since 1935. [...] After reading almost 50 years of comics we deemed Peter's mind sufficiently mushy enough to move over to our downtown rivals.I read the digital edition.
What a way to kick off a mega event! Can't wait to read the rest of the storyline. I'm new to the comics, but I've been a fan of the shows for a while now. Although there's still a lot of characters I do not know yet, I'm glad that I could recognize some familiar faces on here. I'm looking forward to dive into the rest of Crisis!
É, vou acabar virando fã mesmo de comics da dc, pois esse primeiro capítulo me deixou bastante curioso. Os nomes são um pouco estranhos neste começo, mas a união de todos pra salvar suas terras é um ótimo enredo.
I loved the Frosty and Firestorm part 😂😂
An interesting if slightly convoluted setup for a pivotal crossover.
I really wanted to like this. Too many characters I don't know very much about. I didn't finish reading. George Perez is a genius, though.
Excelente inicio de historia, estableciendo el escenario de una destrucción masiva de realidades y un plan desesperado y contra el tiempo para intentar salvar al multiverso.
Straight out the door.You know there is something extremely epic, about to start. I can't wait for the next comic book in the series.
Excellent and pivotal comic book.You simply can't go wrong reading Crisis on Infinite Earths ...unless you are reading it on the Kindle app; far too many double page spreads you can't enlarge to read properly or see the fantastic George Perez artwork. I'll stick to getting my comics from other sources and using the Comic at app on my Fire.

50% of the goals achieved I guess.“The DC universe will never be the same!” Indeed. Mission accomplished.“By series end DC will have a consistent and more easily understandable universe to play with.” Uh yeah, that did not age well.
The Summoning
Me encanta el inicio del evento DC aunque no conozco a varios personajes, quizás deba continuarlo posteriormente. Libro de libre acceso online o descarga durante periodo de cuarentena. #keepreading
