So I have been struggling with finding a good large run of older comics to read and have decided, after Jimmy's accidental recommendation
, that I would try to read Infinity Crisis and 52 AND all the comics related to them that I can find. I am using
THIS link to find the issues I need.
Now I know I won't be able to find them all (the shop/Dave won't have them all and I am not trying to pay a lot for this
) but I think I can pull enough to get the gist ... get the most of this. However, I don't want to waste a lot of time either, so there is one run that I know I have here somewhere, but ... well ... question ... Is the Rann/Thanagar War really an important piece of the puzzle here? I mean, as much as any of the tie-in issues are. Should I include that mini in this massive read through attempt Or is this just not that important?
Also of note, I am NOT going through all of the list above. I am starting about half way down the list with "Countdown To Infinity Crisis". Then hitting the Omac Project #1 and down from there ... as much as I can. I would like to start at the very top, but I just don't have the access to all those issues, so I will first be reading the "Prelude to Infinity Crisis" which is an oversized book that recaps the most important things prior to Countdown ... or at least that is what I was told.
So I will be hitting:
Prelude to Infinity Crisis
Countdown To Infinity Crisis
Omac Project #1
Superman #217
Day of Vengeance #1 ... but then dropping down to ...
Villains United #1
Batman: Gotham Knights #6
Villains United #2
Villains United #3 ... but then dropping down to ...
Superman #218
And that is all I know, for right now. I didn't spend too much time at the shop looking for this stuff this morning, but I couldn't find the JSA and Birds of Prey issues that come after Day of Vengeance, but I am hoping with things that I miss, things I can't find, that they will not be too important.
Wish me luck!!!
