Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 Reviews

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 sends Harbinger to the various alternate universes to collect an unusual assortment of specific superheroes and super-villains, including Blue Beetle, Firestorm, Cyborg, and even the aging version of superman. Little is revealed as these random super-humans (and one super gorilla) are assembled on a satellite where they are unceremoniously - yet briefly - attacked by weird shadow-men. What's slowly destroying the multiverse? Who is The Monitor? And what's with the strange Pariah guy that is forced to watch every planet die? Stay tuned for more, for... The DC Universe will never be the same! -
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.

"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.

La Icónica Saga de DC
Una de las vi sagas más icónicas de DC Comics; acá comienza todo lo relacionado con el multiverso y las consecuencias que tendrá está historia en todos sus personajes -
I loved the Frosty and Firestorm part 😂😂
-
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.
-
An interesting if slightly convoluted setup for a pivotal crossover.
-
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.
-
pretty good + 1 star for nostalgia
-
I thought this was a really good opener, and those first pages with Pariah were brilliant, and I loved Harbinger assembling the team.
Low 9.5 (I changed my opinion on this) -
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 -
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. -
I can see why this was groundbreaking when it released, and keeping up with so many interwoven threads is to be applauded. But I'll admit to losing steam about issue 9 and never regaining it. Which is sad because both issue 7 and 8 are the strongest.
