Infinite Crisis FAQ

[Paul Newell]

Sorry Ular, I approved your post but somethings happened to it. Not sure what you're talking about as the Infinite Crisis Secret Files hasn't been released yet.

[Ullar]

i mean on dc it said Alex Luthor Earth-2 Lois and Clark and SUperboy-Prime would be caught up. I need backround on them.

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?

I could, but it might take a couple days.

AS in origins and stuff? Or what the story's about in the Secet Files?

No worries, that'd be great!

OK, here’s where I see changes to the timeline taking place. I’ve taken the liberty of adding GL 8 and Robin 147, as they are parts of stories that were already begun. I won’t know where to put the Rann-Than special or the Outsiders ish until I read them. I have a feeling Outsiders 33 is just going to come right after Outsiders 32, but can’t know for sure.

Can anyone tell me if there’s a reason to include Aquaman 38 in the timeline, as several preceding issues have been?

Adventures of Superman 646-647 have been placed somewhat arbitrarily. If anyone knows a better place to put them in the timeline, pipe up. It has to be well before Batman 649, but after Infinite Crisis 1.

Countdown additions:
Birds of Prey 90 comes after Birds of Prey 89

Here’s what Infinite Crisis looks like now.
Infinite Crisis 1
Green Lantern 7-8
Robin 144-145
JLA 120-124
Outsiders 31
Wonder Woman 222
Gotham Central 37
Superman 223
Infinite Crisis 2
Wonder Woman 223
Aquaman 36
Manhunter 16
Superman 224
Adventures of Superman 646-7
Infinite Crisis 3
Aquaman 37
Firestorm 20
Teen Titans 30
Manhunter 17
Catwoman 50-51
Wonder Woman 224-225
Gotham Central 38-9
Day of Vengeance Special
JSA 81
Outsiders 32
Superman 225
Teen Titans 31
Batman 649
Nightwing 116
Infinite Crisis 4
Adventures of Superman 648
Firestorm 21
Robin 146-7

A couple additions that I forgot to put in that last post. Add Manhunter 18, right after JSA 81. I'm also pretty sure that I want to put Batgirl 71-73, the Blood Matters arc, in the timeline somewhere, as the death of a hero should be considered part of the Crisis. I can't figure out where Batgirl's death should be placed.

origins and some basic info on them.

Yet another update for the Infinite Crisis timeline!

Add JLA 125 right after JLA 124, completing the World Without A Justice League arc.

Add JSA 82 after Infinite Crisis 4

I'm tentatively placing Batman 650 directly after Batman 649.

Firestorm 22 comes right after Firestorm 21.

Tentatively, Manhunter 19 goes right after Manhunter 18.

Superman 226, Action Comics 836, and Adventures of Superman 649 go on the Backstory section, before Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Nightwing 117 goes in there somewhere, but I'm not sure where yet.

I also want to put the current Supergirl arc in there somewhere. Supergirl 1 is already on the timeline, but I want to add 2-6. As yet, I'm unsure where they belong.

Teen Titans 32 features a confrontation between the Superboys. I can't tell if this is supposed to be the same fight shown in IC 4, or a rematch. So I don't know where to assign it.

Catwoman 52 might go right after Catwoman 51, but it's too early to say.

Green Lantern 9 may or may not be involved in Infinite Crisis. For now, leave it out.

The final issue of Wonder Woman, number 226, goes somewhere, but I can't see where yet.

Also, I think it's fairly clear that GLC Recharge needs to go somewhere into either the Prelude or the Countdown. It obviously comes after Rebirth but before the Rann-Thanagar War. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Teen Titans Annual appears to fit right at the end of Infinite Crisis, at the beginning of 52.

And finally, we all know that Infinite Crisis 5 will fit into this somewhere. We just don't know quite where yet.

And that wraps this one up. That's where Infinite Crisis stands in relation to February comics releases. I'm going to update soon with more details on the precise locations of Rann-Thanagar Special, Outsiders 33, Nightwing 117, Supergirl 2-6, Teen Titans 32, Wonder Woman 226, Green Lantern 9, Green Lantern Corps Recharge, Catwoman 52, Aquaman 38, Batgirl 71-73, and Infinite Crisis 5.

Well Alex Luthor's origin is in Crisis on Infinite Earths...As for the others:

Thanks Droogie. I should just mention that the four specials happen concurrently with the issue thay are released.

So Rann-Thanagar War happens during the second half of IC #4.

Guys, there's a trade discussion going on on the IC board so I transferred it all over there.

[jakeash81]

I've noticed this thread hasn't been updated in a while and I was hoping someone has a link to the thread Mr. Newell mentioned moving the discussion to (or if anyone has updates - Droogie? :) )

[Paul Newell]

New baby in the house has ended the updates for awhile. As to the trade thread, it's stickied at the top of the Infinite Crisis board. :)

[n3IVI0]

So, any possibility of an update? :D I've been collecting and collating the scans of all these, and I'm going to release a massive torrent with all of them, in order, once the whole mess is complete. Anyway, I've been depending on your dilligent labor to figure out which ones I need, and in what order. Thanks!
