Thinking about the best way to read these makes my head explode. Thanks for your kindness in posting this. I think in around 3 months time I'll be ready to read them all in one go.

I notice that some of the later books listed here aren't in the TPB timeline yet? Is there a big post-Blackest Night update coming soon? :-)

DC via Comixology is having a .99c sale right now on every New Krypton comic. I've just purchased Action Comics 879 - 889 to finally have the uncollected Captain Atom co-features by James Robinson and Cafu. That's definitely my biggest leap into Digital comic reading.

It sure would be nice if DC would un-bundle the issues and co-features on their digital site. Once the New Krypton sale ends, I bet you'd have to pay almost $22 if you want to read the Captain Atom co-features -- and they're only ten pages each.

@Mark ... and Brightest Day ...

Thanks for the timeline. I will save it for my second reading of this long storyline.

I would also be interested in a timeline for Morrison's Batman. We've already discussed the reading order of RIP and Final Crisis, and there is a comparable situation with 'Batman & Robin Vol. 3: Batman must die!' and 'Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne' (and perhaps even 'Time and the Batman'). All of these were release simultaneously in single issues, in part heavily delayed, so I like to know how everyone here approached these stories.
