If the above cover is any indication, the Monitor, and the entire Multiverse, is doomed! Comic Book Classics Revisited is going to take a look at the pivotal fourth issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths…
Comic Book Classics Revisited continues to look at the event that set the tone for all that came after it and forever changed the DC Universe – Crisis on Infinite Earths! We’re two issues in, and the Monitor has summoned his champions to try to save the remaining universes before his unseen enemy wipes out everything!…
Welcome back to Comic Book Classics Revisited! Last time, we started the massive DC story that changed the company forever, Crisis on Infinite Earths. As the first issue ended, the mysterious Monitor and the superpowered Harbinger collected several heroes (and a couple villains) from some of the remaining Earths that have yet to be destroyed so…
Welcome back to Comic Book Classics Revisited! Last week saw the conclusion of our first classic to be revisited, Secret Wars, and with the start of this week, it’s time to take a look at a DC Comics classic – Crisis on Infinite Earths. With Convergence, DC Comics’ 2015 event, on the horizon, and with many of the tie-ins dealing with characters from Crisis, I thought this might be the perfect time to take a closer look at this series. Let’s dive right in to the first issue!
Barry deals with a couple of love sick metahumans, whilst Ollie returns to a city in turmoil, and Laurel finally finds her place. (As per usual, spoilers for “Crazy For You,” “The Nuclear Man,” “Uprising,” and “Canaries” follow within.)
Check out my review of Superman: The Movie! It’s still the greatest Superman movie of all time and, for me, the greatest superhero movie of all time, too!
The Pied Piper plays Barry, and Brick takes on the city, while Ollie continues to recover in this week’s Flash and Arrow. (Be warned, many spoilers for “The Sound and the Fury” and “Midnight City” follow within.)
Following Ollie’s battle with Ra’s al Ghul, and Barry’s first real encounter with Zoom, Arrow and Flash return from their mid-season breaks to find their worlds turned upside down. (Be warned, many spoilers for “Revenge of the Rogues” and “Left Behind” follow within.)
In the coming weeks, I will be leading discussion articles following Arrow and The Flash that will pass thoughts and ideas about them from one long-standing DC fan to all of you in hopes of bringing us all a place to cogently discuss what we may expect, want, and even fear from these shows with each passing episode. But before we get to that as they return next week, let us instead begin our discussions here with a topic that I’m sure many have talked about at length, but with an edge that will perhaps bring some new thoughts to the discussion.
