A reprint of the original twelve-issue series that brought together all of DC's superhero characters from the beginning through the early 1980s, changing the DC universe forever.

I’m a big dumb baby and this was far too complicated for me.

1 Star for the artwork. 

The rest of it is a chore to read.

I don't know why, I liked it when I was a kid, but now it's a story that's trying to save something that cannot be saved. Also it's boring as fuck.

Not recommended for anyone! 

Tried to re-read for nostalgia but I didn't even get that because of everything in it.

One star for the effort of cleaning up the very messy DC universe. But seriously, reading this again as an adult was like homework; I simply couldn't wait to be done with it. Every single page has some DC hero shouting out his power and calling all the other heroes by their names after every interaction - just so we're clear who's who in this childish morass of a storyline. Too many trite Great Scotts! and Hera Help Mes!

Worst thing about it: Flash's Cosmic Treadmill!

Worst line within it: "Suddenly, [Earth:] is gone, swallowed whole, a cosmic Jonah lost to some inter-universal whale."

Watchmen was great. Wildcards was great. It wasn't that the writing of that decade was just bad. Sadly, it was Marv.

This is why I read Marvel in the 80s.
