As well as the various tie-in issues that take place between issues of IC, like the Secret Files story and the related JSA Classified Power Girl arc and the E1/E2 Superman tie-in arc from the Superman books.The epic saga INFINITE CRISIS is collected in its entirety, including Geoff Johns's graphic novel masterpiece, as well as the various seris spinning off of this massive comics event! OMAC robots are rampaging, magic is dying, villains are uniting, and a war is raging in space.

Personally, I would have preferred the lead-up minis and other relevant issues be collected separately in a Prelude omnibus for the main omni I would have added OMAC Project/Sacrifice which are intertwined and spotlight the Trinity and lead straight into IC 1. I waited for the Absolute to upgrade because I didn't need DoV or RTW I just wanted the 'meat and potatoes.' Villains United is basically the start of Gail Simone's excellent Secret Six book. OMAC Project/Sacrifice is the firing shot that kicks off the event. You will be able to follow the events of IC if you skip all of the prelude minis except for OMAC Project (which ties into Sacrifice) and is ESSENTIAL. I was underwhelmed by Day of Vengeance, passed on Rann-Thanagar War and loved Villains United and OMAC Project/Sacrifice. Anyway thanks for any tips! I am excited to dive deeper into DC But I did research that countdown to crisis was useless. Even if there are some issues that are worth it, because I like to collect. I dont mind spending more on the omnibus if the reading material is worth it. This happens a lot at Marvel and this is why I don't like tie in issues.

Mostly I dont want to spend time reading tie ins where teen titans are fighting a random baddie from the cross over event just because they had to be part of the event. I did not read any of the tie ins in other books, but I did read all of the one shots that dealt with the alt batmans and thought they were enjoyable.

I am newer to DC, I have read a lot of N52 titles and Rebirth titles, but not a lot of titles pre N52, some superman, catching up on Batman starting at Year 1 and I have read Geoff Jhns run on GL.Īnyway, I have read Metal and LOVED IT although it dragged a little, but rereading it made it better. I am waiting for the Final Crisis Omnibus thats coming out in sept I was wondering if the Infinite Crisis Omnibus has a lot of useless tie in issues that really have no bearing on the story? I have Crisis on Infinite Earths Deluxe edition, Infinite Crisis Omnibus, and Identity Crisis in my cart. Hi all! I am about to start reading the Crisis events.
