Part of Series
In 1985, DC Comics dramatically altered comics' original universe with CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, a 12-issue series that rocked the comics community, tragically dooming some of DC's most belovedcharacters and drastically altering others. While the Crisis on Infinite Earths raged across the many worlds of the DC Universe in the early 1980s, the action spilled over into numerous comic books, which are collected here for the first time. This new title collects numerous issues of series including ACTION COMICS, BATMAN, DETECTIVE COMICS, FIRESTORM, GREEN LANTERN, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, THE NEW TEEN TITANS, SWAMP THING, WONDER WOMAN and many more for the first time.
