I mean COIE was a big DC thing, but nearly 35 years have passed since it came out. Most of the current viewing audience probably wasn't even alive then.
Needless to say I think it's save to assume that, unlike their comic counterparts at the time, Kara and Barry will survive this.

I know of Crisis On Infinite Earths but was only 5 when it came out and have not read the comic so will find out what the storyline is next year obviously.
Did read somewhere since Arrow will be in it's 8th season they may have a character or characters die from there instead if Oliver hangs up his quiver then.

No doubt the TV version will be different. COIE was a twelve issue maxi-series.
I get the feeling that a lot of Arrow fans hope this character that dies is Felicity Smoak!
COIE ended with the DC Universe being rebooted into one single universe, with all the characters, that used to be on separate Earths, now on one Earth. I wonder if the Arrowverse is planning to do the same thing.

I would not be surprised if Superman and Green Arrow die during the event. I believe in the comics Supergirl and the Flash died.
But with Lois expecting, would they dare kill Clark and leave their child without a father.

Yep, Kara Zor-El and Barry Allen were killed off (both were brought back about twenty years later).
Safe to assume that both are safe here, as both are leads of two successful shows.

Perhaps they both do die as a reference to the comics but get resurrected somehow.

Hope you got a good while, it's 12 issues long.

That should be a good refresher.

2020 will mark the 35th Anniversary of the publication of Crisis.
Many readers weren't even alive when that happened (I was, of course).

And, I'm one of them. This came out 2-3 years before I was even born. Of course, the Crisis has happened again in 2006 I believe in the comic for that era's comics.

That was Infinite Crisis, I believe.

Aww, gotcha. I forget what the name of each one is, I just assumed they all had the same name, but just different generation of comics when they revamp them all the time. Hard to keep track.

Harder for me. I quit reading DC Comics in 1987.

I was six years old when this comic first launched. Although my journey into the DC comics started in 1985, at aged five when my older cousin accidentally bought the same issue of Superman twice, so gave me a copy, and It started my collection.
I did like this Crisis comic, but I didn't get hold it until the late 90s.

That's so cool how you got your first comic.
