I have not read the Crisis on Infinite Earths maxi-series in its entirety for 30 years. I keep meaning to re-read the whole thing, but I have read just #11-12 many many times, most recently in 2010 and 2019. For the past year (almost), DC has been reprinting repica editions of Crisis on Infinite Earths one issue at a time. Finally they are up to #11-12, reprinting my two favorite issues on slick paper stock, which I have long wanted to file with the other various "Crisis" series (because ya gotta figure, for infinite Earths, the original COIE depicted just a handful of 'em).
CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS 100-PAGE GIANT! #1-2:
These were tie-ins to the various "Arrow-verse" television shows which broadcast their own version of "Crisis." Each issue featured two new stories as well as reprints from the original, such as the death of Supergirl and the death of the Flash.
DCU: LEGACIES #5-6:
Even on "New Earth" (i.e., the post-Crisis DCU), some version of the Crisis "happened" even though there no longer were "infinite earths" and never had been. I always wanted to read that story but never thought I'd ever be able to. These issues tell that story, so now I no longer have to imagine it. [NOTE: Legacies #5 can be substituted for Crisis on Infinite Earths #1-10. Because of the Legacies framing sequence, it is possible read Crisis on Infinite Earths #11-12 then move directly into Legacies #5-6 for an alternate (again, post-Crisis) four-issue version of events.]
TALES FROM THE DARK MULTIVERSE: CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #1:
This is the only "Dark Multiverse" comic I read.
JUST IMAGINE STAN LEE'S CRISIS:
The culmination of Stan Lee's DC writing tenure (with John Cassaday).
The Crisis on Infinite Earths #11 reprint ships this week.

but I have read just #11-12 many many times,
Those two comics (and a copy of Avengers #239 I picked up while waiting in a bus terminal some months earlier. It's the issue where some Avengers go on David Letterman) were my re-introduction to comics in university, after having stopped reading them in my early teens. I had to scramble backwards to find the others, and much later bought the collected Crisis on Infinite Earths.
