Poll Which DC reboot storyline did you enjoy more? (17 votes)

Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985) 29%
Flashpoint (2011) 71%

Just wondering which reboot people liked more, my friend and I were having a discussion and we couldn't come to answer, so maybe some of you can help us.

Crisis had way more milestone moments. I actually thought Flashpoint was too short. I wanted to spend more time in that world.

Flashpoint went on forever, what are you talking about?

I loved both but I personally like Crisis better

Way more epic in my opinion. We both did agree that we enjoyed the fact that Barry Allen was an integral part of the storyline in both, I felt that Barry's death in crisis was very impactful.

@sheenlantern: I admittedly wasn't around for Flashpoint, but are you talking about the whole crossover? Because as far as I know, the main series was five issues and the bigger characters each got a few issues going on at the same time.

@sheenlantern: I was confused because I wasn't sure if you meant that it was like a five year long reboot XD
But yeah, if you read a lot of DC then you've got a lot of Flashpoint.

The actual events? COIE.

And mostly because I thought Flashpoint was just excuse to kill just about every single character in DC's library in increasingly aggravating ways (you had a confirmed death in nearly every single issue under the Flashpoint banner). While COIE the deaths were based on the fact that the universe was under siege from a colossal threat rather than a ramped up hero/villain relationships.

Post COIE reboot was handled better in my opinion, New 52 has been good in my opinion but it has mixed reaction among fans.

I do like the new costumes

In terms of the event by itself, with no tie ins involved, COIE.
