Crisis on Infinite Earths Aftermath Reading Order

Infinite Crunch isthecenterpiece event of DC Comics in the 2000's, celebrating the 20th anniversary of 1985'sCrisis on Infinite Earthswith a universe encompassing result that functions every bit a sequel to DC's first "Crisis." The impact is felt all over from characters like DC'due south trinity (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman) on downward the list to Detective Chimp, Spectre, and Chemo.

The mid-2000's heralded a boom for shared universe crossover events, andInfinite Crisisis no exception. No joke: Some of the tie-ins have necktie-ins. The "Countdown" prelude comics alone account for 37 private problems at a minimum, including theCountdown to Infinite Crisisgiant-sized one-shot that is more than 3 standard size problems in length. In my stance, the 7 resultInfinite Crunchchief event benefits greatly from the context of the countdown and necktie-in problems.

Likewise,Infinite Crisisfollows hot on the heels of the vii effect event seriesIdentity Crisis , by Brad Meltzer and Rags Morales. The events ofIdentity Crunch– ostensibly a murder mystery that reveals how far members of the Justice League will go to to maintain their hugger-mugger identities – are felt throughout the Countdown, both fracturing the active Justice League and inciting the formation of the villain'due south Guild.

Infinite Crisisran from November 2005 to May 2006, and impacted the DC Universe for years to come. You tin detect the complete reading order below!

Infinite Crunch Comics Reading Guild

Italicized and indented issue titles arenon includedin the aboveInfinite Crunchomnibus, but can be considered relevant tie-ins to the event. In general, I would say the motorcoach cleans up the filler very nicely, and streamlines the tie-ins to a more than mangeable, precise (simply nevertheless 1,500 page!) feel.

Even so, completists will desireeverythingso that's what I've laid out in the reading order beneath!

Countdown to Crisis

Countdown to Space Crisis #ane

Excellent 80 page get-go to the event, following the tragic tale of Ted Kord, aka the Blue Beetle, on the trail of a rot at the center of the DC Universe. Written by Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka, and Judd Winick, with pencils from Rags Morales, Ed Benes, Jesus Saiz, Ivan Reis, and Phil Jimenez.

The Omac Project #1

Written by comics superstar Greg Rucka,The Omac Projectionis one of the all-time "Inaugural to Infinite Crunch" comics, tying together DC'due south Checkmate, Batman, the 80's Justice League International, and the good ol' render of OMAC (kinda).

The Omac Project #2

The Omac Projection #three

Superman #219

Activity Comics #829

Adventures of Superman #642

Wonder Woman #219

Worth noting that Superman #219 through Wonder Woman #219 collect theSuperman: Sacrificestory arc, which connects Superman and the Justice League to Maxwell Lord'due south machinations in the pages ofThe Omac Project. Not nerveless in the Bus are the two "Cede" backwash issues:

An easy standout amongInfinite Crunchnecktie-ins,Villains Unitedpast Gail Simone and Dale Eaglesham follows six "villains" who refuse to join Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, Talia Al Ghul, and Black Adam'south (amongst others) Society of Supervillains. Get set to dearest and respect Catman, Deadshot, Parademon, Ragman, Cheshire, and Scandal like y'all never imagined.

Superman #216

The three "Superman" line issues (written by Judd Winick) collect the "Lightning Strikes Twice" crossover betwixt Superman, Shazam (Captain Marvel), and Eclipso. In my book this is the most questionable inclusion, but the decision of this arc does set the stage for Spectre's role in the ensuing24-hour interval of Vengeance.

JSA Classifed #one to #4

ThisJSAspinoff written past Geoff Johns is 90% wrangling Power Girl continuity, and 10% prelude toInfinite Crisis. It doesn't feel relevant initially but becomes a clear tie-in as it progresses, and is probable the biggest oversight in the collected motorbus edition.
