Crisis on Infinite Earths Box Set OVERVIEW | DC Comics 

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.

I need an X Men Claremont box set like this!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Epic and will be out of print soon, FOMO

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I love the artwork on the box.

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!

We need a crisis on infinite earths omnibus

Great review per as usual

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

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

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!

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.

That looks like a fun read there, Gembo!

Nice set! Def wanna get that!

dope box set love the art

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...

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.

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.

Great over view, man.

A new Crisis is apparently coming in 2021

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

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

Duuuude this box set is soo dope

Thanks, Gem Mint.

i wish i could afford this

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

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.

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

Love George Perez!!!!..Met him a few times what a nice guy!!!!!

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

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.

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.

Good review, but that price tag keeps me away!

Music in the background is a nice touch - it adds depth. Stick with it.

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

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

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 👀👀.

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

I'm in bathroom at taco bell watching instead of working

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.

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

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?

Nice

Are there an omnibus on this?

4:25 still the injustice league up to the 100 issue. it’s not injustice league it’s justice league of America or justice league, injustice is way new than the crisis on multiverses earths

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.

What other DC stuff should get a box set?

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.

Is final crisis in this set

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

not buying anything for this price unless it's oversized

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.

Nice one

Wow, that's a mother load. Better start saving 😫😂

Is not Perez art on the box!

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?

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.

I love it

Hey, I'm not gonna lie--I'm a Marvel guy but the best part about DC for me was all the multiple earths. I loved that stuff. But hey, the cats at DC were probably saying: "Yeah, you love our stuff but all the books you're dropping money on are Marvel. Beat, it kid."

Why is the price $300-$500? Seems like $130 or $150 would have been a decent price but $500!?

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

This is all the comics for crisis on infinite earths right?

Wow. Well I'm not sure if this is a buy but what do you think Mr. Gem mint? Lol sorry I forgot your name (if you've mentioned it?)

Did u do a video on the civil war set?

Are u doing the coffee mugs in black?

thsi is really confusing. i bought the crisis on infinte earth 100 page thing from amazon. is that not the whole story?

Is this the same as the Crisis deluxe compendium series?

If they made and omnibus would it be better than this box set

that price is why i'll keep on bootlegging comics.

I payed $300 for mine off IST. How can you get it for $275?

I don't like the cheap paper stock. Marvel does this much better.

Where did you get the box set

Man just looking at that is hard work. I havnt read the story but it just looks like a slog!

Love your videos. But.... Thumbs down to the background music. Sorry 😐

what does this guy do for a living to be able to afford all these collectables?

What if you redo this video you seem not every knowledgeable when you recorded this
