Celebrating the annual crises that led up to the big one…

Once upon a time, in a Multiverse lost to the ages, Earth-One’s Justice League would team up with Earth-Two’s Justice Society every summer. Sometimes, other extra-dimensional or time-flung teams would join in the festivities.

But no matter what, it was a summertime treat, a multipart event that was BIG, even if the stories were typically two-parters.

Fun, fun, fun with an accent on fun.

Now, as it happens, DC is putting back into print its classic Justice League-Justice Society team-ups, starting in 2021 with a new collection called Crisis on Multiple Earths, Vol. 1: Crossing Over. (Click here for more info. There’s a lot of bang in this edition.)

That’s still a ways away — yet it’s summer now: perfect time to walk down the hot sands of memory lane with 13 DC CRISIS COVERS TO FIRE UP YOUR SUMMER.

I’m leaving out the all-time biggie Crisis on Infinite Earths, because that’s a whole other ball of twine.

But dig these. I know that you can.
