COIE is very necessary to understanding the current Infinite Crisis run, and is a critical piece of DC history, but is a little dated by today's standards in terms of dialogue and....naivitae(sp?). I've always felt that the post-crisis DCU took a much more dark and adult turn, and it was for the better. Artwork in that story is fantastic...it's amazing how many panels Perez managed to cram onto some of those pages. It's worth a read on that merit alone. My take: A good read every 10 years or so...that's about it.
