Goals and Aims...

As Confluence of Infinite Earths continues to grow and develop as an idea, I want to present what is more formally known as a binding map. 

In my opinion, the series of stories listed below are a the best representation of chronological events in the Crisis time line. Some editorial choices have been made for the sake of story telling and flow of the narrative. But for the sticky world of continuity, I have arranged events in this order.

Once these books are returned from the bindery, they are set in stone. There is no going back and shuffling which on will come first, or which one should have character should have been in this order. 

It is a fine balance. One of epic nerdy proportions.
