Hi Every one,
I finally finished what I think will be my final map for my Crisis on Infinite Earths bind. I made a number of unusual decisions with this process because I felt certain arcs deserved more fleshing out than others and have decided to include more complete runs and more Red Skies than would be found in many maps. In total, it will break down to eight volumes. But I think it will be pretty cool when it is done. I also decided to create a side blog that is tentatively titled "Confluence of Infinite Earths" to chronicle each of these issues in the greater crisis timeline.
The first two volumes I am considering the "Dawn of the Monitor," with books primarily focussed on the appearances of the monitor and references to the beginning of the crisis. Volumes 3-6 are the primary "Crisis" texts containing the entire maxi-series and the official cross-overs, the entire "An American Gothic" Swamp Thing story line which concludes with Crisis in heaven and dovetails with many elements of the main text. Volumes 7 and 8 are what I am considering closing chapters and apocryphal tales relating to the Crisis. I end with Crisis 2 and the two indices and articles from Amazing Heroes.
I won't be using the entirety of some books, i.e. G.I. Combat, and have also removed unrelated back-up stories from Detective and Action Comics when they were not related to the Crisis text. My map is about 90% set in stone right now. I am definitely up for comments, critiques, and suggestions. In fact, i would greatly appreciate them. Thank you!
