Set Description:
Crisis on Infinite Earths is a 12-issue American comic book limited series (identified as a "12-part maxi-series") and crossover event, produced by DC Comics in 1985 to simplify its then 50-year-old continuity. The series was written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by George Pérez (pencils/layouts), along with Mike DeCarlo, Dick Giordano, and Jerry Ordway (who shared inking/embellishing chores). The series removed the concept of the Multiverse in the fictional DC Universe, and depicted the deaths of such long-standing superheroes as Supergirl and the Barry Allen incarnation of the Flash. As such, it is one of the most important events in the DC Universe, and continuity in the DCU is typically divided into pre-Crisis and post-Crisis periods.
The title of the series was inspired by earlier crossover stories involving the multiple parallel Earths of the Multiverse, such as "Crisis on Earth-Two" and "Crisis on Earth-Three", but instead of lasting two to five issues and involving members from many superhero teams from many parallel worlds, it involved virtually every significant character from every parallel universe in DC's history.

Signed by George Perez "The Summoning!" Written by Marv Wolfman. Art by George Perez and Dick Giordano. This is it, the biggest, and arguably most important, event in the history of the DCU. A wave of unstoppable destructive force is sweeping across the multiverse and indiscriminately destroying everything in its path. Nothing seems able to stop it. The Crime Syndicate of Amerika (evil versions of the JLA) of Earth-3 die trying, along with their world. Batman receives an ominous warning from the Flash. Weather and natural disasters are out of control. An eclectic group of heroes and villains from around the multiverse are assembled to halt the death and destruction, and the being known as the Monitor may be the only one who can help them.

"Time and Time Again!" Written by Marv Wolfman. Art by George Perez and Dick Giordano. The story that inspired "Zero Hour" and "Infinite Crisis" continues. In the second chapter of the biggest epic in DCU history, a group of heroes and villains, including the likes of the Golden Age Superman of Earth-2, Firestorm, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Doctor Polaris, Psi-Mon, and more, have been assembled by the enigmatic being known as the Monitor and his partner, the woman simply known as Harbinger. They have been dispatched throughout the multiverse, and time itself, to defend monolithic machines that may halt the advance of the destructive anti-matter wave which is sweeping across the infinite. However, they'll find this a task easier said then done when their enemy's agents, sinister Shadow Demons, rise up to destroy them.

"War Zone!" Written by Marv Wolfman. Art by George Perez and Jerry Odrway. This one is big. The dastardly duo of Brainiac and Lex Luthor assemble the greatest force for evil the multiverse has ever seen. With the heroes distracted by the Crisis, the villains of the DCU unite into an army the likes of which has never been seen before and perform a coup de tat on the remaining Earths. Can the heroes mount a counter attack and still remain vigilant against the Anti-Monitor? Plus, Guy Gardner, arguably the most rash character in the DCU, is finally given the Power Ring that was always meant to be his. Featuring the death of the Golden Age Lex Luthor of Earth-2 and Aquagirl.
