What's the point of having so much detail about each miniseries? They don't even deserve a separate section each, when thinking about the big picture (the actual Crisis and such shenanigans). I'm not as versed in Crisislore as the guys who actually wrote the "summaries" (I am not reading the books), but I think it shouldn't be made such a big thing. My suggestion:
Infinite Crisis blah blah blah big event, blah blah blah DC Comics, bla blah blah 80's Crisis
Contents: 1. Countdown to Infinite Crisis: blah blah blah, special issue, blah blah blah miniseries blah blah corners of the DC Universe. 1.1 Miniseries 1 1.2 Miniseries 2 1.3 Miniseries 3 1.4 Miniseries 4 1.5 Other "tie-ins" and such (no ultimately complete issue listing, please) 2. (Actual) Crisis (nothing to be written about it yet, though, except maybe posting the available cover for issue #1, due October 2005) 3. Aftermath (can't see the future, nothing to write yet).
It's a format suggestion. I'm not reading the books, so feel free to consider me unbiased or just plain ignorant of the article matter. Someone who knows better, please give this thing proper order. And make the article accesible for everyone.
I think the very existence of entries like this demonstrates what a joke wikipedia is. --Blue Spider 13:12, 14 July 2005

- I don't want to, but I will. I believe that this series is just something that will be published for a market that's barely an actual percentage of a mass market or pop culture market, have a temporary effect within the realm of comic books and despite hype likely have as much long-term effect as most of the past DC crossover series, the ones I have in mind first being "Genesis", "Day of Judgement", and "Millenium". I don't think it's notable and creating an entry for every single "summer event" series that tickles the sensitivities of comic nerds will just eat up space. It's not likely it will stand the test of time. Having an entry like this is like altering the Superman wikipedia entry every three weeks to reflect whatever "change" is happening in his series. Having an entry like this is almost similar to going to the entry for Lois Lane and announcing the character is dead after reading Superman 219.
This post deserves to be here simply because Wikipedia does have many entries like this. It should be here; it's one of many examples of why Wikipedia's relevence is in danger and has been.
If anything, perhaps wiki would be better off to create a seperate wiki comic book reference source entirely. --[User:Blue_Spider|Blue Spider]]
Am I the only person who thinks that the text on the spin-off mini-series should be separate pages, heavily linked from this page? --Sfeldon 16:23, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
The cleanup notice is because large portions of this read like a compliation of promo quotes rather than an actual article - SoM 17:53, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I did some stuff. Made the plot summaries into actual summaries and not plot synopses (two different things). It probably needs some spelling checked and grammar fixed. Or you can just revert it (if you liked the earlier monstrosity). I also removed all but the first issues of the countdown books from the gallery (we don't need to see every cover and tie-in fer chrissake). and it really should be called Countdown to Infinite Crisis, since Infinite Crisis hasn't even started yet. i left the Prelude to Infinite crisis section, but removed the panel list. that should be in a page just for prelude (which i don't feel like creating at the moment) - not logged in, but this is runciblerabbit 01:30, 21 July 2005
Does this page not need to be merged with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countdown_to_Infinite_Crisis

Further to my suggestion (and notice) to merge the pages - it seem that the above page has been wiped out of existance and a redirect placed to here???? None of the copy provided seems to have carried over? That is a shame as I felt that some of the material there was better. I can see no evidence of it being merged in. - Charles Knight
- The content still exists. Just check the history of the Countdown to Infinite Crisis article and you can cut-and-paste to your heart's content. (To bypass the redirect, just click on the wikilink on the line "Redirected from x"). 23skidoo 03:35, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
- Batman: Gotham Knights #65 under Villains United needs to be changed to issue # 66
Cover gallery
We can get rid of the cover gallery, neh? It takes up a lot of space and I think it adds to the supposed adverisement-aura this article has. KramarDanIkabu 03:07, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
