As far as I’m concerned this story is one of, if not DC’s greatest crossover. This series came out when I was in high school and I remember being so excited when each issue came out. I was always a big fan of the Earth 1 and Earth 2 crossovers, so this was definitely in my wheelhouse. I’ve got everything Crisis related....softcover, hardcover, floppies, novel, toys, absolute.....so you know I had to order this!! Thanks for the review. You’ve got me even more excited for my shipment from In Stock Trades.

[@uncannyzee7391]

It's just lots and lots of heroes and villains doing pretty much the same thing for a year. The story could have easily been told in six issues. Most of the crossover books had stories that were D+ at best.

[@cyrosphere0154]

That's cool

[@turtleanton6539]

Insane

[@doctordoomscousin9181]

I need an X Men Claremont box set like this!

[@lancesheppard4271]

The wraparound art is actually new art work from Nicola Scott and Jerry Ordway. The panel on the back is the only George Perez art from the original issue #1 of the maxi-series. I started collecting as a teen in the mid 90s, loved all things DC, and had to find this series and see what Earth 2 and the multiverse was all about. This series hooked me on DC for life. The box set is pricey but well worth it IMO. I had to have it as I have every edition DC has ever released. It's awesome and I'm glad I could add it to the Avengers, Infinity Gauntlet, and Secret Wars boxed sets I already have. I hope DC does more box sets like Marvel as these are great showpieces and an awesome way to have amazing runs in one beautiful package. Thanks for the review GemMint; your channel is what really got me into the hardcovers, Deluxes, Absolutes, Omnibuses, and boxed sets.

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

Awesome and in depth overview! This would have been a no brainer if they went for the oversized hardcover route but they had to follow Marvel with their dimensions on massive box sets.

[@rafaelchicas7635]

I love the audio track in the background it fits the overview really well.

[@rc75905]

Epic and will be out of print soon, FOMO

[@benhizzle]

Great video. Appreciate all the work you and Phie put into the channel.

[@allgoldproductions]

Nice review. I still have the 5'+ wide Ross/Perez poster, just don't have the real estate to put the thing up, ha. Years ago at a convention in Chicago they had some of Ross' original paintings on display in a room off of the convention floor and seeing that Crisis painting up close and in person was really something.

[@turtleanton6539]

So cool ypy always got the best stuff! Wish I could visit my man

[@squalltheonly]

Dude, the golden age comics had so much dialogue. Not quick reads at all. I cant do it now in 2019.

[@clips1071]

Fax it’s so much reading that it even gets boring

[@Havok1718]

Dope overview I would think a 3 Omni set would be better like how Batman knight fall is.

[@spencerwelchii573]

I am working on a set like this with custom bound volume of KnightSaga.

[@alessandrotinchini1310]

Great edition! I didn’t know of its existence! It is awesome and a way to own the knowledge of the entire Crisis concept’s origin. Thanks for sharing.

[@Senseitional_comics]

Great video brother, may have to look for this to add to my addiction that your channel has inspired in me haha

[@topnotch97]

I thought they were going to start with the Flash issue when Barry met Jay for the first time

[@ChrisOfMelbourne]

Box artwork is by Nicola Scott not George Perez. George retired so they asked Nicola to homage his work. Great review through. Thanks.

[@iliketohearmenmoaning]

I might have to pick this up along with the Infinity Gauntlet one. Especially since I haven't read Crisis yet. Gem coming in clutch like always

[@mikedestazador5116]

Thank you for buying it bro now I can decide to buy it too

[@paathimself]

Fuck. Three arcade cabinets just appeared at the house sometime over the course of the last month or two. No big deal. LOL KZbin must be very good to your family! GAH BLESS

[@acebobbomb]

That looks like a fun read there, Gembo!

[@kevinconnor4228]

I love the artwork on the box.

[@coinneachrussell1116]

We need a crisis on infinite earths omnibus

[@mike6526]

Nice set! Def wanna get that!

[@jocool7370]

Great overview! I'm not buying this boxset, but I hope the Absolute will be reprinted.

[@sirbubbles5506]

Great review per as usual

[@sebastianstark8517]

Love the presentation and the collection, but wasn't a big fan of the story itself, though I do agree it was and is an important part of DC comics history. Thanks for the overview!

[@deadly_games3156]

dope box set love the art

[@daymeinvanblocken3407]

Thanks, Gem Mint.

[@michaeladamson]

Looks good, but I can't see myself shelling out for something this price on a student budget

[@greyinvader]

This just went out of print. I missed it on Amazon but just got a good deal on eBay. Had to have it before it's gone.

[@GothamKnight84661]

Thanks for the second opinion. I'm going to get this set after all.

[@KiteAsHigh]

Once again Gem delivers a great video! But man I’m really considering buying this but at the same time I feel like I should get a few omnis for a similar price instead...

[@Puddin_Tame]

Thanks for the overview! I'm sticking with my Absolute and the 3 oversize companion volumes.

[@Nick-qf7vt]

Do the 3 companions collect all of the stuff included in these extra volumes?

[@Puddin_Tame]

@@Nick-qf7vt As far as I know, they collects all the Crisis crossovers in the box set. they do't contain the pre-crisis stuff.

[@Nick-qf7vt]

@@Puddin_Tame Thanks! I suppose that's all I'll need. I can get the pre-Crisis stuff in the JLA omnibuses, which will probably be cheaper in the long run. This set is tempting though, since it's on Instocktrades for $250.

[@Puddin_Tame]

@@Nick-qf7vt The companions are oversize. The books in the box set are standard size.

[@Nick-qf7vt]

@@Puddin_Tame That's the other benefit.

[@christopherr.marrazzo8758]

I got the Deluxe Edition - I enjoyed it but, it was really wordy. Don't know if I could do all the tie-ins. Great video, it was great seeing all the tie-in.

[@TheGr8nss]

Great Vid. Finally after 5 years I got picked to go to SDCC. Looking forward to seeing everything it has to offer.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

congrats!

[@spencerwelchii573]

Great over view, man.

[@nozkaian]

I think it's a good story and artwork, but when I read the Crisis for the first time it was confusing, because I didn't know anything about the DC universe at all. But when I dug deeper, and re-read it a second and third time, it was entertaining. This box looks great, it has it's benefits, I think I just don't care about the prequel stuff. It's a shame that this comes out the same time as the three OHC Companions, because it's a huge double dip. Enjoyed the video, stay minty fresh as well!

[@atomichound1868]

Great video. Thanks for the thorough overview and review. Agree that it’s a bit of bummer there’s no OHC’s, but the overall content is very impressive. I was also thinking “Flash of Two Worlds” would be appropriate since that’s where the multiverse was originally introduced. Crisis is the gold standard for events and was fantastic. It’s aged a bit, but what in entertainment hasn’t over the last 35 years.

[@turtleanton6539]

Yes😊

[@bombarde1701a]

I just ordered this set and should probably be here this week. Thank you Instocktrades for the savings. Looking forward to diving into it.

[@clips1071]

Sounding like a bot who’s advertising the site

[@bombarde1701a]

@@clips1071 perhaps. But I actually bought it.

[@lewismurphy5876]

Great overview Gem! Don’t think I’ll be buying this though, think I’ll stick to my deluxe edition that I got George Pérez to sign and then buy the 3 oversized companion books

[@sabaqobalia1815]

Hey man, great video.Got couple of questions. Though. Which issues do "Crisis on multiple earths" collect? And if I read all those, (and all the COIE issues) will I understand everything? Thanks in advance

[@NoxusZero]

Duuuude this box set is soo dope

[@01factor]

Nice Box set! But, i am going to stick with the four OHCs and the absolute edition.

[@myohmyDesign]

Wow! Great to see a review on this set. Wasn't sure if you'd pull the trigger on it or not, but really happy to see a review of it on your channel.

[@aalinkil2065]

Great Video.............would love a recent reads of the batman snyder omnibus

[@oggy350]

Personally I’m not feeling it so wouldn’t be of interest, however do agree that artwork is great. 👍🏻

[@michaelverzosa106]

Can you show us how you display your box sets. Thanks

[@kalenhouse]

Man great detailed review. That's a cool collection. Love the old school style of art. It's amazing how the art works evolved. You're a walking comic wikipedia lol.

[@starstudio8402]

Nice

[@germaholic]

I wanted to see what boxed sets were going to be like, so interesting video, but yeah, $500 is a bit much for me. Think omnibuses are as expensive as I want to go.

[@tonyyoung3985]

Does anyone know if there are any plans to release any of the individual books separately? I'm only interested in The All Star Squadron and Infinity issues. Plus I had most of mine professionally bound, so I just want it for the nice white paper reprinting.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

not that i know of...i doubt it though

[@justinmohan7103]

A new Crisis is apparently coming in 2021

[@manuelrivas6304]

Not coming, it’s already here. WB won’t do more Snyderverse.... lol

[@thegothamite128]

Thanks so much for reviewing this! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you purchase this set? I want to get it myself, but I want to be sure whoever I buy it from will pack it extremely well so that it doesn’t arrive damaged.

Thanks for the review i really feel like this series is underwhelming kinda like how marvel is now a EVENT just so they can change things to sell more books nothing really jumped out at me at all ,dont know if u plan on reading all of jt but let us know

[@callumogorman8240]

Hey Gem thanks for the great breakdown Quick question though, how tall is the actual box? Is it the same height as an Omnibus?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Callum O'Gorman it’s 12.5” tall

[@uncultured-collective]

Good review, but that price tag keeps me away!

[@ashleyn1979]

Sooo expensive.wonder how many people can justify the amount spent

[@anthonygarcia8749]

The tbh the only things that interested me outta the whole box set was some of the prequel matieral which I thought was pretty nice, the main storyline, one of the post books, and the behind the scenes book. In short, imma pass on it lmao. But the boxset does look nice tho 👀👀.

[@iamthomasjudge]

Should have reviewed it sitting in a paddling pool full of those packing peanuts... ;)

[@colossalsunny4653]

The Crisis On Infinite Earths Companion volumes (1-3) are oversized deluxe hardcovers at about $40/each. Wouldn't that be a better buy w/ the Crisis Deluxe HC? Even at $300 for this box set on IST, it's way too expensive. What do you think?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

i havent looked at how much more content is provided here...but yea DC does stuff like this all the time. Best to research like you did and determine whats the best route to go. The box is cool as hell though

[@colossalsunny4653]

The box is dope for sure, one reason I got the Infinity Gauntlet Box Set. Thought I'd add a boxset from DC, still unsure.

[@AndreiSorin1994]

From your experience, how long does it take for a product like this to go out of print ? I would buy this instantly right now if I could but I can't . So I'm wondering if I'll still find this later in 6-12 months.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

well so far only Marvel has been producing these...Civil War and Secret Wars sold out and started selling for retail...When the Infinity Gauntlet set sold out, they made a reprint. So my guess is...if the set is super popular, itll get a reprint and will stay discounted...if it doesnt sell that well...and eventually goes out of print, it could become more expensive

[@AndreiSorin1994]

@@GemMintCollectibles I understand . Thank you!

[@filmtorres]

Is this the same as the Crisis deluxe compendium series?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

i havent looked to see what the compendium collects

[@raulzavala9061]

I already have a COIE as a hardcover, Tpb and the old single issues, this is nice for the diehard collector but to me it's not essential to read every single book to understand the main Crisis story, you can practically read summaries of the rest online.

I would like to hear your take on the topic of fisical vs digital media.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

unless digital is way cheaper...it's no contest. With physical copies, they can at least retail some value. Plus reading digital hurts my eyes.

[@Zzoltar]

@@GemMintCollectibles I agree!, watching it on a video projector it's kind of cool though

[@Toryumon4Ever]

Outside a pretty looking box, there's really not much to offer unless you are a long time hardcore DC reader. It's a pass for me, but it's a good review of it from you, bro.

these have issues that take place prior to and during the actual event

[@vakaniboi1620]

so how long is the actual crisis book

[@drderrickchua]

Since DC is copying Marvel, shouldn’t they include a cloth poster or some other bonus item for such sets? Also, which mapping is better, the Crisis Crossover OHCs or the character-centric books in that boxed set?
