PREMIUM: Comics Corner #13 | Crisis on Infinite Earths

Connor and Harry discuss Marv Wolfman & George Pérez’s Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985-1986) — the twelve-issue maxi-series which compressed DC Comics’ disparate multiverse into one cohesive continuity, and its pro-American, Christian, and existentialist themes in the final years of the Cold War.
