Worth noting that Superman #219 through Wonder Woman #219 collect the Superman: Sacrifice story arc, which connects Superman and the Justice League to Maxwell Lord’s machinations in the pages of The Omac Project. Written by comics superstar Greg Rucka, The Omac Project is one of the best “Countdown to Infinite Crisis” comics, tying together DC’s Checkmate, Batman, the 80’s Justice League International, and the good ol’ return of OMAC (kinda). ![]() Written by Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka, and Judd Winick, with pencils from Rags Morales, Ed Benes, Jesus Saiz, Ivan Reis, and Phil Jimenez. Nonetheless, completists will want everything so that’s what I’ve laid out in the reading order below! Countdown to CrisisĮxcellent 80 page kickoff 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. In general, I would say the omnibus cleans up the filler very nicely, and streamlines the tie-ins to a more mangeable, precise (but still 1,500 page!) experience. Italicized and indented issue titles are not included in the above Infinite Crisis omnibus, but can be considered relevant tie-ins to the event.

The events of Identity Crisis – ostensibly a murder mystery that reveals how far members of the Justice League will go to to maintain their secret identities – are felt throughout the Countdown, both fracturing the active Justice League and inciting the formation of the villain’s Society. Likewise, Infinite Crisis follows hot on the heels of the seven issue event series Identity Crisis, by Brad Meltzer and Rags Morales. In my opinion, the 7 issue Infinite Crisis main event benefits greatly from the context of the countdown and tie-in issues. ![]() The “Countdown” prelude comics alone account for 37 individual issues at a minimum, including the Countdown to Infinite Crisis giant-sized one-shot that is more than 3 standard size issues in length. No joke: Some of the tie-ins have tie-ins. The mid-2000’s heralded a boom for shared universe crossover events, and Infinite Crisis is no exception. Infinite Crisis is the centerpiece event of DC Comics in the 2000’s, celebrating the 20th anniversary of 1985’s Crisis on Infinite Earths with a universe encompassing event that functions as a sequel to DC’s first “Crisis.” The impact is felt all over from characters like DC’s trinity (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman) on down the list to Detective Chimp, Spectre, and Chemo.
