Recently adapted into an animated film, Crisis on Infinite Earths is one of the biggest events in the history of DC Comics. The multiverse epic was originally released as a comic book mini-series in 1985-1986 and has since become a benchmark event for the comic book industry.
Unlike other crossover events, Crisis on Infinite Earths had a lasting impact on the DC Universe. After the dust settled, the entire universe was effectively rebooted, leading to a new status quo. This idea of rebooting the universe would be revisited over the years in events like Zero Hour and Flashpoint, which aimed to clean up the messy continuity of DC Comics.
The storyline of Crisis on Infinite Earths revolves around the Anti-Monitor unleashing an antimatter wave across the multiverse, erasing countless realities in its wake. Heroes from different Earths are recruited to stop the Anti-Monitor, leading to a finale where hundreds of characters meet their demise. The source material has been praised for its epic scale and emotional impact.
