There's more to "Dark Crisis" than those two words

[Michael R. Wagner]

The cover text and the indicia both show the title of "Dark Crisis" to be "Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths" - any chance of making this correction in the database?

I don't have them easily accessible, but I believe there was a title change with issue 4 and that issues 1-3 were indeed Dark Crisis.

Looking at on-line copies, Adam is correct. 1-3 just has Dark Crisis (cover and indicia) while #4 has Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths (on cover and indicia).

However, second printings of 1-3 have Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths.

So, it is publishers 'playing games' (again...).

You had me at "Adam is correct"! 😆

So, HC - will the indicia rule be applied or will this be another exception?

We're sticking with 'Dark Crisis' - we can mention in the notes field, the title changed with issue #4

@Mark J. Castaneda, this could actually be a good candidate for one of the new CB2023 features...
