===Tie-ins===

Elements to set up ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' were put in DC's comics years before the crossover took place;<ref name="ignabsoluterev"/> an example of this was the Monitor's appearance in ''The New Teen Titans''.<ref name="auto"/> In a January 3, 1983 memo, Giordano, Wolfman, and [[Len Wein]] instructed editors and writers to use the Monitor twice in the coming year but not to show him: "Because this series involves the entire DC Universe we do ask that each Editor and writer cooperate with the project by using a character called The Monitor in their books twice during the next year". This served to set up the series.<ref name="monitoringthepast"/><ref name="auto"/> When Wolfman and Giordano reiterated this in a 1984 meeting, some editors were not pleased; one was so miffed he did not speak for the rest of the meeting.<ref name="backissue30"/>

[[Tie-in]]s for ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' were published in DC's [[ongoing series]]. Unlike the 1991 Marvel crossover storyline ''[[The Infinity Gauntlet]]'', where Marvel only published tie-ins in titles that needed a boost in sales, the vast majority of DC's comics featured events that directly tied to the crossover.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Kraft |first=David Anthony |date=January 1991 |title=War of the Gods |magazine=[[Comics Interview]] |location=New York City|page=34 |publisher=Fictioneer Books |author-link=David Anthony Kraft}}</ref> The following comic book issues were labeled as part of the crossover; their covers contained a banner that read "Special ''Crisis'' Cross-Over", along with the logo for DC's fiftieth anniversary.
