It's late and I'm in the mood to put a map together. I don't have any of the Captain Atom series, nor do I have plans to get it for quite a while. I am surprised that I can't seem to find a full map for the series here. It's mentioned a lot, mainly due to the Janus Directive.
I see 57 issues, plus two annuals. Looks like annual #1 goes after #12. Any clues on #2?
The series crosses over with Millennium (#11), Invasion (#24-25), and War of the Gods (#56-57). For Millennium, it's part of the week 4 mini-crossover with Detective #582, Spectre #10, and Suicide Squad #9. If the Invasion tie-ins work like the Superman ones, then I shouldn't need anything else. And I did have the War of the Gods issues at one point, so I know most of those crossover issues can be read independently of the main event. (Which is a good thing in that case!)
The Janus Directive is in:
Part 1: Checkmate! (vol. 1) #15 (May, 1989)
Part 2: Suicide Squad (vol. 1) #27 (May, 1989)
Part 3: Checkmate! (vol. 1) #16 (May, 1989)
Part 4: Suicide Squad (vol. 1) #28 (May, 1989)
Part 5: Checkmate! (vol. 1) #17 (June, 1989)
Part 6: Manhunter (vol. 2) #14 (June, 1989)
Part 7: Firestorm (vol. 2) #86 (June, 1989)
Part 8: Suicide Squad (vol. 1) #29 (June, 1989)
Part 9: Checkmate! (vol. 1) #18 (June, 1989)
Part 10: Suicide Squad (vol. 1) #30 (June, 1989)
Part 11: Captain Atom (vol. 5) #30 (June, 1989)
(Because that map isn't around here enough times.) Hmm...might be a good spot for a volume break, and make JD its own book. Also provides flexibility if one is ever interested in the other series.
I haven't turned up any other crossovers. So I guess the biggest question is where to place the second annual.
