Crisis on Infinite Earths #1

[history79]

"While writing Green Lantern I received a letter from a fan asking about a mixup in DC continuity. In my reply I said, “One day we (meaning the DC editorial we) will probably straighten up what is in the DC Universe ... and what is outside.” At this point in its history DC Comics had Earth-One, Earth-Two, Earth-Three, Earth-B, etc. There were super-heroes on each Earth and though old-time readers had no problem understanding DC continuity, it proved off-putting to new readers who suddenly discovered there was not one but three Supermans, Wonder Womans, Batmans, etc."

I really, really like this story.
However, I also think it is a sort of Original Sin for DC. This is the story that will being DC's tendency to try to cosmically alter reality and overcomplicate things to justify what, ultimately, are retcons plain and simple

Almost fitting, then, that the plot should all centre around Krona's Original Sin that created the antimatter universe.
