Infinite Crisis FAQ

[Ullar]

do i need to read First Thunder to read Lightninh strikes twice?

[droogiedroogie]

First of all, Paul Newell and petersvensson are freaking saints. And I used to think that the only stuff germaine to IC was Adam Strange, the four minis, the Countdown special, and Sacrifice.

But are we going to get any further updates on this thread? Is petersvensson updating his thread at the DC board? I really want to keep as current as possible with this ungodly-huge crossover. This kind of thing pisses me off, honestly, but I'm too much of a completist to rebel against DC's excessive crossing over. Since Infinite Crisis is going to change everything, I have to read it, and if I'm going to read it I want all the details.

As far as I know, no. At least, I'm not bothering to.

Thanks Droogie. I haven't heard from Peter for a while...Last thing was he said that he was going to rewrite the FAQ. I've been updating the "timeline" once a month when I get a chance. I'll probably try to in the next week or so.

[Ullar]

thanks dude.

So...I know it's a big job, but is there a light at the end of the updating tunnel? I procured a torrent of all the issues so far noted in this thread, but after that all I have is whatever tie-ins occur in the Batbooks and the mainline Infinite Crisis mini.

Sorry Droog....Been working 7 days a week and had no time at all to update. If your using this as a list though, try this thread:

Whatever gets listed is all that I'm adding.

[Paul Newell]

*Phew* Updated the timeline! :)

Thanks once again for that. Didn't mean to seem demanding.

Quick question: did you mean to put Manhunter 16 twice, as in two things happen at separate points in the IC timeline, or is one of them meant to be a different issue number?

[Paul Newell]

Different issue number. Well spotted and thanks. :)

Where does Green Lantern v4 #7 fit into this? Looks like it takes place right after Crisis of Conscience...

Are these all of the tie-ins, or just the "key" tie-ins that DC advertises?

I think a bit of both. I've only had to add about 3-4 issues myself apart from those listed. And those were all parts of story arcs...Eg. one of the Green Arrow issues and one of the World without Justice League issues.

Some other chronologies can be found here

So just out of curiosity, why didn't you put the Rack and Ruin arc in there? It seems like it would fit, given Ruin's other notable appearances on the list.

To tell you the truth, I didn't know about it. I've only been reading Infinite Crisis in TPB form and then only major tie-ins, (The trades I listed in a previous post). Most of the list was written by Peter Svennson, who seems to have disappeared. I was only updating until he started doing it himself.

Could you write something up for me to add, Droogs?
