Kind of fun. I like the Earth-Two characters more than a lot of the Earth-One ones - possibly because they've been mucked with less (how many times has Green Lantern been re-invented, let alone Superman or Batman?). And parallel world interactions are always fun. Unfortunately, several of the stories in here are just Earth-Two characters (and not my favorites) dealing with local villains - not bad, but not what I was promised either. Overall, pretty good but not wonderful. ( )

I hadn't read any Silver Age comics before, and this collection included background to the canon-altering Crisis on Infinite Earths story of 1985 (which I plan on reading soon), so it seemed like a good choice to read. Unfortunately, it's completely terrible. There was some amusement provided by campiness, but that's about all. There are no characters and rarely any story beyond beating up people who commit robberies. Most of the book focuses on Barry Allen (the Flash), and comic book people always talk about him as having an interesting personality, so I was very disappointed to find none of that here. ( )
