CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS (Trade Paperback) (Dec 2000 )

3. "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (issues 1-12, 1985 to 1986)
Written by Marv Wolfman, art by George Perez.

When DC Comics' 50th anniversary came around, they decided to fix a lot of continuity errors. How did they do this? By having a villian named the Anit-monitor destroy what were called multi-verses; different dimensions with different versions of DC heroes. After a while, it was getting very confusing as to what universe the stories took place in.

The writing by Wolfman was great with a very well thought out plot. You can tell he thought this plot through and did not rush it. "Crisis" also has what is considered to be Perez's best artwork ever, even better than his "New Teen Titans" art. "Crisis" is considered the definitive comic book team up book.
