This story is the most ambitious thing I've ever seen in my life, reuniting almost every DC character ever to fight 1 guy? Absolutely stunning

I just love that Barry goes so fast that he literally becomes lightning, travels back in time and hits himself, turning himself into the Flash. That means that Barry Allen is the Flash because Barry Allen is the Flash.

Dude...Crisis on Infinite Earth's is one of the single most brilliant & intricate stories of all time...for either Marvel or DC! Often duplicated & built upon, as it is truly the foundation for every single new DC story to come out, New 52 or Rebirth!

One of the best stories in DC...If not one of the best comic book storylines of all time.

lol ultron so strong he can travel in between comics and kidnap people

coming to this after the CW reveal!!

When I finally able to read Crisis on Infinite Earths, I found that I loved it! Despite juggling so many characters and Earths around, I never found it too cluttered and busy, and the sheer scope was awesome for what the story was trying to do. It's a great story, especially since it's a well-handled one for rebooting continuity.

It's great to know Ultron crossed into DC due to this crisis 20:31.

I think that's how the flash TV show should end with Barry stopping a super weapon and him stuck in the speed force turning into lightning then it going back to the very first episode but with the main and supporting cast who were in the city that night looking up at the star labs accident. Barry narrating about the lessons he learned over the series ending with a PoV shot of the lightning bolt zooming towards the crime lab. And the final words you hear is "My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive or I will be in a moment." cut to black just as the lightning hits Barry with the main theme horns.

Who is here after the CW announced the crossover for next year?

Infinity war: I’m going to kill half of the universe SSBU: I’m going kill all characters Crisis on infinite earth: Lol That’s cute

35:55 One of my all time favorite comic panels. Supes has just had enough. Kinda bummed you left out a fair bit of the last fight. A lot of cool scenes there, like what goes on with Darkseid and others.

Wellcome to the greatest clusterfuck in history of comics.

Really m8, "Ultron, who is still alive in the netherverse"

I find myself realizing more and more everyday just how little I know about this stuff.... Its amazingly baffling just how deep and intricate all of this is, not just in this series but in all of the comics in general. Great content!

This is the best characterisation of Barry Allen,Darksied and supergirl.

Anyone coming here after Elseworlds?

Finally someone will explain this cluster fuck

I really wasn't a huge DC fan grew up on marvel but I do appreciate your page you really caught me up to speed with DC and I must say really do like it so just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work

When Ultron and Brainiac are super similar so you mix them up XD It's chill bro I get ya

This is by far my favorite DC crossover event story ever.

All new comments shall now be anyone form elseworld.

Barry's sacrifice was heartbroken.

Man, the amount of time and effort that you put in to your work is really the best in comics anywhere I've ever heard of. No kiss ass, just wanted to say that I really appreciate the work you do and I couldn't imagine KZfaq without you. I think I may have watched all your videos. You have increased my understanding of this medium. I've purchased many TP and HC from watching your videos.

Thank you for this explanation. With COIE coming to the Arrowverse this fall, I was eager to get some "cliff notes" version of what 12 comics worth of material had. This was at the very least, a good start, at most, a very detailed explanation. I'll probably watch this again in a few weeks to re-refresh it, it really is a lot to take in.

I think You mean Branic getting Luthor to his ship, Not Ultron Rob. But I really Love this video. Please make 1 for Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.

I love the Crisis stories and having it condensed like this was fantastic to witness! Thank you Rob!

Finally, I was waiting for one of the comic channels to cover this story, I know he's not the first, but his explanations are detailed, with full comic panels throughout, and great narration which helps the flow of the story. I guess I was waiting for him to cover the story.

RIP Barry Allen. He came back to life, but it took so long. Poor, poor, Prof Zoom.

40 min vid... *rolls medically legal joint, pours drink* let's go my dude.

Robb I just wanted to thank you for being so charming, helpful and understanding. These videos have helped me so much in my quest to really get into comics but whilst Im still a broke college student your fantastic narrations and boundless knowledge is something truly spectacular, so thank you thank you so very much!!

This story is why I started collecting comics. I was in my senior year in high school seventeen years old, saw Crisis on Infinite Earths #1. At that time I had very little knowledge of the Multiverse in DC. After buying issue #1 I was hooked. Thanks for the upload.

Good job Rob!!! Please Keep e explaining this big events...

The flash is honestly the best hero in DC. Hands down, he's the guy you can rely on when the chips are down and he can outrun any danger even death literally.

absolutely loved your telling of the story. You left things out that didn't affect the overall plot one way or another ie; the flash. I'm sure many listeners and readers of the story would agree when Superman punched the Antimonitor out of existence initial response was "why didn't he do that 11 issues ago". Then reality sets in and "oh yeah we wouldn't have a story". Keep up the great work, you're the next closest in the comic book community to reach a milly in sub's good luck brother and Rob Corps SPREAD THE WORD!!!

rob. this story got me into comics. I listen to your videos all night at work. Your channel is my favorite thanks man.

I was waiting so damn long for this

When this was originally published it was one of the most anticipated comics ever produced. It was great story-telling

Wish I could like this video again after rewatching it. So informative and well delivered for a lot of content

this was one of my favorite stories when I was younger. THANK YOU so much for covering it.

One of the greatest - and maybe most complex - stories told in comics to that date and compares favorably to anything published since. I can remember buying every issue as it came out. It was a great read.

I was litreally searching for this on youtube but didn't find any satisfactory videos thanks for uploading

The arkham series has brought me back to this channel with hopes of discovering all there is to know about DC. thanks rob! much respect

Rob, first off thank you for this video! COIE is my favorite comic book story, I love the stuff you've been uploading and I hope you do a infinite crisis video!

No joke this was one of the first 5 conics I read my local library had the trade and dang was it epic

cant believe i watched whole thing. you have a great voice

About time someone did my most favorite Comic Book Saga of all time! Thank you!!!

Rob, I love your content, this is for me like festivity. So thank you!

I really like Black Lightning!! Feel he’s a bit underrated

DC elseworlds anyone?

Exactly!!! I’ve wanted to get into comics for years!!! But I have no idea where the hell to start and know if I just picked up a comic I’d have no idea what’s going on. You sir I completely thank you for these videos. You are an awesome person

You are really enthusiastic and it makes your videos 1000 times better

Crisis On Infinite Earths was my first major DC Comics event. Since I was fairly new to DC at the time, I figured it was just another JLA/JSA team up. I didn't expect anything would change, and no one would die. Man, I was wrong! I never missed an issue. I loved it. Since I was new to DC, Who's Who , a series that started around the same time, helped me learn who some of the characters were.

when this was out in the mid 80's i went back and collected each issue that happened in the past. since my first issue of the crisis on infinite earths was already on i think issue 10 so i went back and collected the previous issues. wasn't easy to get since in my city their was no comic book stores except one which was a guy who had a bunch of lots of old and older comics book non bagged and boarder just in boxes and was in small shop in near the Spokane fox theater. i got a couple from him if i remember right or from local book stores had a section of old comics books to buy . wasn't till around 1988 i found a local comics store were i think i got the rest of the crisis on infinite earths issues since i only started out on 10 and the lat 2 issues.

Rob that was a pretty tight video.i was glad you did a video on Pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths video,many people forget there wouldn't be new 52 and Rebirth without the Original Continuity and Multiverse. I think that's more important than what they have out now

Crisis on Infinite Earth video is fun walk down memory lane for those of us who read it an issue at a time for a year when it first came out. Thanks!

I'm excited how the arrowverse handles this story

Always enjoyed how thorough you are

Hey man.... comprehensive and articulate! Subscribed :-) I never really followed these books, but I’m with the CW shows since day 1, and now I needed to learn about this storyline that is coming up next year. Lots of ‘tubers who comment on the shows have been saying this is coming.

This book is fn amazing. Perez is the man. Those page layouts are sooooo dope

you said ultron, I think u meant brainiac

So, since I don't think they can do this story justice (Ha) in 3 or 4 episodes, I'm hoping that this will be the main focus of all the shows next season. They did specifically say coming in fall of 2019. Imagine a crossover SEASON. I'd be stoked for it.

Impressive job in recapping the events of this classic story (one of my favorites) into a video, man. I'm a huge DC fan and have become moreso in recent years. I just love its vast and complicated history. It almost feels like reading Tolkien. Great great great video. I'll have to reread COIEs again on the DC app. Would love to hook you up with an art print. I'm a working designer and illustrator and do gallery work where I often use my love for DC as inspiration. Let me know and keep up the good work.

What a narration! besides what a story. I am writing a thesis for the post-crisis era comics and you absolutely nailed it.

this should have gotten a two hour treatment. I remember this series and got each issue as it came out and there is so much more that could have been covered. No tthat you didnt do a good job on this, Rob...i love your narrative and it would have gone so much farther with a greater time run. good job though :)

WOAH, what a pleasant f*cking surprise. Great story to do for classic DC

FINALLY, A video on this series lmaooo been scowering KZfaq for one for years

Amazing. Love this story. keep up the good work Rob.

DC/CW Elseworlds brought me here.

Crisis on Infinite Earths was a very bittersweet story. On the one hand, it was a well-told story and led to the best status quo in DC history. On the other hand, I loved all those crazy Earths and was sad to see them go. I know they were a roadblock to new readers, but all those wild stories had so much imagination and potential. And this was great final send-off to some of those crazy characters of yesteryear like Cave Carson, etc.

Wow, great job with the video! This story is like the game changer of stories

I'm convinced only you could have explained all that in a way that kept my attention and made me understand. Thanks, Rob. 👍🏻

You cover these arcs on point, good stuff btw, 20.48 i think you meant Brainiac, you said Ultron..

who’s here because next episode is going to be crisis on infinite earths Edit: Now who’s here after it ended

Thank you for doing this storyline!

This was the GREATEST series in comic book history! My first exposure to heroes dieing! The battles! Then the Golden Age Superman finally ending the Anti-Monitor! Greatest of all time and forever my favorite!

I'm here to refresh my Crisis memory for next year's crossover!

You should do Crisis on two earths, infinite crisis, final crisis and convergence. In fact, you should highlight the 52 earths.

Wow. I am the 706706th subscriber! awesome. Man u got some amazing stuff. Love the way you tell MCU and DC.Awesome!

OH my gosh, you did it! Finally! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Barry Allen is the single greatest hero of all time

The crossover event of crossover events. Probably the DC Multiversity will never be at such much stakes like Crisis on Infinite Earths. Is there one reason I love the DCU, is its complicated but still complex universe, that when you deeply explore it, is a great experience.

Saw everyone of your videos. Best most underrated KZfaqr

you are the best, please keep bringin dc storys

Discrepency on Superboy Prime (SP). During Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985), SP wasn't stronger than the other Supermen. Their strengths matched their ages. After the Crisis, Superman's strength was vastly reduced for the sake of being able to challenge him in stories. Over the years building up to Infinite Crisis (2005), Superman had regained "SOME" of his previous power, but was still not as powerful as his Silver Age version. Keep in mind, this was depending on the writer at any given time, and Superman's powers fluctuated a lot. But for Infinite Crisis, the idea was that he was still less powerful than the Silver Age version. So, when Modern Age Superman met SP, SP still had that Silver Age power, and the Modern Age version did not. This vast difference in power, along with being a "Super" in the first place, is why SP was able to mop the floor with so many other heroes, and never take a scratch.

I just realized how much the most recent Secret Wars was very close to this story.

Look Rob not to jump on the bandwagon if you do actually have one lol but outta all the KZfaq comic reading guys I watch (due to the fact I just can't afford to buy comics anymore) your channel is by far the best. keep it up man. great work.

I love your work, Rob! Thanks!

welcome my fellow cw watchers we will be prepared together

red tornado has such a cool back story

I just read this series last week, you did a great job.

I love this story so much man! I finally bought on my birthday last year and I loved every minute of it.

Good story, I'm surprised on how great the artwork is. What was that about a Bat-Auction?

20:25 lol Guardians and Ulton X-over OMG lol

love the hard work you do for us all, man. great videos. ever think of doing a wildstorm series, seeing as warren ellis is bringing it back? would love to see the histories of team 7, wildcats, stormwatch, authority, and all the connections of them all. thanks again!

I love your content Rob! Keep up the great work

Lol. You called Brainiac Ultron

Hey Rob could you do a video on INFINITE CRISIS?. I really want to see what happens next for them.
