52, IC, Countdown reading order?

[joegeek]

OK, I have compiled the issues I know of and I know they do not all tie into FC but I wanted to read them anyway.

Here are the comics I have acquired over the past 2 weeks starting with Idenity/Infinite Crisis.

Can someone put them into the correct reading order for me.

JLA 115-119 (Crisis of Conscience)
Identity Crisis 1-7
Countdown to Infinite Crisis 80 pg. 1 shot
Infinite Crisis TPB
Brave new World #1
Rann Thanagar War 1-6 + Special
The Omac Project 1-6 + Special
Day Of Vengeance 1-6 + Special
Villians United 1-6 + special
The Return of Donna Troy 1-4
Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle 1-4
The Spectre 1-3
Battle For Bludhaven 1-6
52 52-1
WWIII 1-4
52 Aftermath Four Horsemen 1-6
" " " " " Crime Bible 1-6
Amazons Attack 1-6
Uncle Sam and The Freedom Fighters 1-8
Secret Six 1-6
Countdown to Mystery 1-8
" " " " Adventure 1-8
Black Adam Dark Age 1-4
Countdown Special The Atom
" " " " The Flash
Search For Ray palmer 1-6
Countdown Arena 1-4
Countdown 1-51
Salvation Run 1-7
Suicice Squad: Raise the Flag 1-8


That is what I have. I kind of know the order but not sure. Anything else I need?

Okay, I'll take a quick stab at it. A lot of these I haven't read, so someone else will have to refine the list a bit.

These are reprint books of older stories:
Countdown Special The Atom
" " " " The Flash

Identity Crisis 1-7

Countdown to Infinite Crisis 80 pg. 1 shot

These all take place concurrently, except the specials, which take place during Infinite Crisis.
Rann Thanagar War 1-6 + Special
The Omac Project 1-6 + Special
Day Of Vengeance 1-6 + Special
Villians United 1-6 + special
The Return of Donna Troy 1-4

Edit: Forgot to mention, you "need" the Superman/Wonder Woman trade, "Sacrifice" in the middle of The OMAC Project. Yes, the most important event that took place during The OMAC Project was not actually in the pages of The OMAC Project.

JLA 115-119 (Crisis of Conscience)

It's not clear exactly when this takes place but the main Seven Soldiers story is supposed to be shortly before Infinite Crisis:
Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle 1-4

Infinite Crisis TPB

52 1-52
WWIII 1-4 take place during one of the last few issues of 52 (#50, IIRC)

Brave new World #1

I'm not sure what order these go in, but I'm farily certain they fit between 52 and Countdown
The Spectre 1-3
Battle For Bludhaven 1-6
52 Aftermath Four Horsemen 1-6
" " " " " Crime Bible 1-6
Uncle Sam and The Freedom Fighters 1-8
Secret Six 1-6
Black Adam Dark Age 1-4

Countdown 1-51

These take place during Countdown, roughly in this order but not exactly.
Amazons Attack 1-6
Countdown to Mystery 1-8
" " " " Adventure 1-8
Countdown Arena 1-4
Search For Ray palmer 1-6
Salvation Run 1-7

I'm not sure when this takes place
Suicice Squad: Raise the Flag 1-8
