☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis deluxe hardcover collects the earliest tie-ins to the landmark Crisis on Infinite Earths event, focusing on the pre-Crisis adventures of Wonder Woman and her supporting cast, including Hippolyta, Etta Candy, and the gods of Olympus like Zeus, Hera, and Ares. It gathers issues from Wonder Woman's series and related stories that lead into the multiverse-shattering crossover, providing context for the Amazonian princess's role in the crisis. The volume also features appearances by Green Lantern John Stewart, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen, bridging the Golden Age and Silver Age continuities that the Crisis would ultimately merge.
In "The Hand of Fate," four heroes—Superman, Lady Quark, Harbinger, and Pariah—navigate the aftermath of the multiverse's collapse, facing a new threat in the form of the Volt Lord. Though Lady Quark hesitates at first, recognizing the villain’s likeness to her late husband from Earth-6, she acts when she sees the true darkness within. Written by Barbara Randall and Bob Greenberger, with art by Tom Mandrake and inks by Don Heck, this story unfolds with emotional weight and urgency. The cover, a striking collaboration by George Pérez and Klaus Janson, captures the moment of confrontation with haunting precision.
In "In Transit," Tigorr and the Green Lantern of the Vega system make a desperate rescue aboard the dying Viathan, evacuating a handful of alien survivors before bringing them to the Omega Men’s ship. Meanwhile, on Tamaran, Doc, Shlagen, Zirral, and Rynoc depart their home planet and stumble upon a mysterious rift tearing through space.
In "Fish out of Water," Blue Devil is pulled into a chaotic mix-up when S.T.A.R. Labs enlists his help to seed storm clouds—only for the experiment to go wildly awry, unleashing tiny water monsters across the city. The situation spirals further when The Fisherman and his crew hijack a beach party, turning the seaside chaos into full-blown pandemonium.
In "Year of the Comet," Superman finds himself stranded on Earth-Prime, where he encounters a younger version of himself still coming to grips with his powers. As the two navigate the chaos of a world on the brink, their brief connection offers a rare moment of clarity before the looming Crisis reshapes everything.
In "Revenge Is Life—Death to Superman!", Superman grapples with the weight of losing Supergirl during the Crisis on Infinite Earths while racing to protect New Krypton from the relentless Superman Revenge Squad. Torn between mourning and duty, he faces a battle that tests not just his strength, but the very ideals he’s sworn to uphold.
In "Force of Nature," the Red Tornado's desperate attempt to uncover his true identity triggers a catastrophic explosion on the JLA satellite, unleashing him as the elemental Tornado Champion—now a rogue force at odds with the heroes he once fought alongside. As the Justice League scrambles to contain the chaos, they face a version of Red Tornado transformed by raw, untamed power.
In "Supergirl: Bride of -- X?", Supergirl’s unexpected marriage to a Salkorian noble during a cosmic journey comes to light when her husband arrives on Earth, bringing with him a dire threat from his homeworld. With Naxx on the rise and the fate of Salkor hanging in the balance, Superman must help the newlyweds confront a danger that spans galaxies—before it reaches Earth.
In "The Challenge of the Volt Lord," Superman, Lady Quark, Harbinger, and Pariah face a sudden threat on the newly unified Earth, where a mysterious warrior known as the Volt Lord emerges with a chilling connection to Lady Quark’s past. Though she hesitates at first—his likeness to her late husband, Lord Volt of Earth-6, stirring painful memories—she rallies when she sees the darkness in his heart. The story unfolds as the heroes unite against a foe whose origins blur the line between memory and menace.
In "Last Imp Standing!", Bat-Mite and Mr. Mxyzptlk clash in a cosmic showdown that spans infinite realities, their playful rivalry reaching a crescendo as they confront the assembled heroes at the conclusion of Crisis on Infinite Earths. The absurdity of their battle is perfectly matched by the sheer scale of the multiverse they're fighting over.
