Hello everyone!
Back in November, I began the arduous task of learning the entire DC Comics Crisis Chronology. I read COIE, followed by Zero Hour, then Identity Crisis. I even read the Kingdom Come/The Kingdom, the 4 Infinite Crisis tie-ins, and every link on this (http://www.sequart.com/columns/index.php?col=10&column=558) page pertaining to Infinite Crisis before finally reading Infinite Crisis itself. I then read the Face the Face One Year Later story, read up on the Wiki for the rest of OYL, and just finished reading all of 52, including World War III.
Whew! I've probably ready 2000+ pages in the past two months! 22 years of history in two months lol...
But I'm not finished yet. I want to catch up to real-time, Countdown to Final Crisis, and be ready for Final Crisis as well to actually subscribe to it.
I went to the Wikipedia for 52 to read up and make sure there wasn't anything I overlooked or missed and, at the bottom, there's links to the Crisis series... I started looking at Countdown to FC, but I didn't want to spoil anything. But I know there are spin-offs and tie-ins for it. I know there's a Black Adam 6-issue series, Salvation Run, Death of the New Gods (I know nothing of these New Gods btw, haven't seen them mentioned yet in my reading), The Search for Ray Palmer, Countdown to Adventure/Mystery/Arena, Four Horseman, Crime Bible, some Jimmy Olsen 80-page issue.... so yeah, a lot of miscellaneous things that I don't know which are tied in where.
So I'm wondering, much like the FAQ that lists the 52/WWIII/OYL/Countdown Reading Order... I am wondering what the order is for Countdown to FC and all these other tie-ins/misc stuff, where they fit in, when to read each (like "at Countdown to FC #XX, read ___"), etc.
Is anyone kind enough to create this?
Thanks very very very much in advance :)
