A single linear continuity with a supposed new realism was created. It allowed revamping and updating of major characters. Zero Hour, Hyper Time etc have altered this though. Yes atrade is available - It was anaverage story as big "events" often are. I was not keen on the monitors

The story is disjointed and event arcs tend to be to big for there own good. The monitors were just to generic. I didn't like the Supes power down after it etc. either.

I have a trade paperback where its all in one but I think its been published in 2 book form - I might be wrong about this though. Mine is a single tome though. If in doubt ask the seller.

I still have all the Crisis issues - for importance, it certainly put to shame Marvel's Secret Wars, which was just an excuse for some big action teamups. Every character in DC history made an appearence. Maybe you didn't like the Superman power down, Whirly, but it was neccessary to up sales. Other people were getting bored, and Supes book had slipped below 100,000 a month - X-Men was circulating over 500,000 a month.

All true and funniest of all about secret wars was the fact it was a toy selling exercise for Marvel and Mattel in partnership.
Yes Crisis was better than secret wars that doesn't say much though sadly.

It was broadly written by Marv Wolfman, so as to accomidate these thousands of personalities, maybe a little too emotive. Batman, who got his own reboot a year later with Dark Knight, was a wuss, compared to the Batman we've seen since 1986.
