Infinite Crisis Suggested Reading Order (2 versions)

Infinite Crisis is my favorite event in comics. I struggled to read it in collected editions because it's damn confusing, so I thought I'd make a video with the suggested reading order of how I like to read it. The titles suggested here will hopefully help you get the most out of this event.

There are 2 versions: Part 1 is the minimum books to read before enjoying the event and Part 2 has so many titles to read before during and after that even I couldn't keep track, and I still left some out! See the timestamps below to navigate.

Thank you kindly and please let me know what you think about this event or if you have any suggestions or questions. Cheers!
