Summary: Crisis on Multiple Earth Vol 1
Review: This review is for Crisis on multiple earth vol.1. I already have Crisis on Multiple Earth Vol 2 and just saw that amazon has Vol 3 soon to be released, I am very excited to get vol 3 as well. Now onto the review of vol.1. This TPB reprints the 8 issues of JLA/JSA comics crossovers in 1950s and 1960s. Keep in mind that they are written almost 50 years ago.But they ain't called "Classics" for nothing. Each issue is filled with excitement, story and great art (silver age art) to go along. Those were the times when one crossover is only 2 issues long and not like current day 8 to 10 issues crossovers with another 4 or 5 titles tie-ins. And even with that you don't even grasp the storyline except the heros pounds the villians. But these JLA/JSA issues are different. Sure, heros pounds the villians but at least with exciting storylines. Of course, the 60s dialogue can make you puke. Dialogues like "I am a 'Hero' (Any hero's name, superman,batman,Green Lantern etc) and I am going to do this and that" and dialogues like "I am a 'villian' and I am going to do this bad thing and that" do not go well with today's comic readers but if you can get past that fact, you will really enjoy those stories. The first story is about Earth One and Earth Two super-heros meeting. Earth One JLA and Earth Two Older JSA meet through vibration or whatever. I will give that story 4 out of 5 stars. And keep in mind that that is the first time JSA old timers are revived. The second story is about Earth Three. If you didn't know anything about Earth Three even existed, you will be surprised. Otherwise, it is not moving but rather long tale that Earth One/Two super-heros fight with their counterparts in Earth Three. I will give 3.5 stars out of 5. The third story is about creation of Earth A (A for Alternate). And this is my favourite earth ever with Johnny Thunder and T'Bolts. Though I don't really like the ending and it looks like DC has the agenda that at the end of this issue, everything has to go back to normal and the writer has to oblige. Anyway, I will give this one 5 stars out of 5. The last storyline with Anti-Matter Man does not appeal much to me. Although the idea of being from anti-matter universe is fairly interesting, the story has nothing but fight sences with teamwork thrown in. And I must admit this earlier team books have more teamwork between super-heros. Most of the later 90s crossovers or team-ups do not show much of team spirit during heros' fight but just to show they are present in the comic book page. But if you don't know Solomon Grundy (Hulk looks-alike or sounds alike) and BlockBuster, you will get a chance to meet them, together with Sandman (no..no.. not Neil Gaiman's Sandman!!) I will give this story 3 out of 5 star.
