Crisis on Infinite Earths: Every DC Comics event ranked worst to best
By Scott Brown
21. DC One Million
Heroes from the future have traveled back in time to celebrate Superman, but by doing so, time begins to be threatened.
Like many of the events so far on this list, there’s some great ideas in here, but the execution isn’t the best. As an extension of Grant Morrison’s JLA run, this series has all of its good and all of its bad. It has plenty of strong thematic elements that are bogged down by some awkward plotting and lackluster characterization.
Really, it feels to be an attempt at a prequel/sequel to Morrison and Frank Quitely’s masterpiece series All-Star Superman as there are a lot of elements and characters featured in both. Because of this though, it almost feels like Morrison’s warm-up for All-Star Superman rather than its own thing.
20. War of the Gods
When all the Pantheons of Gods go to war with each other, how will the heroes of Earth manage to stave off its destruction?
In what is supposed to be the end of George Perez’s run on Wonder Woman, this event is honestly quite a disappointment. It has a lot of the things that make Perez’s run excellent, namely character work, but the actual story itself is lackluster. Much of this lies in the fact that large story beats occur in tie-ins which often makes the main event story confusing.
Where the story fails though, the art succeeds in earnest. If you’re a fan of Perez’s art the series is worth reading for that alone, but don’t expect an excellent story to go along with the fantastic art.
