The Millenium Crossover Reading Order
For all that it does sprawl a little, this is actually a surprisingly tight crossover. Few parts of it don’t align well, and the parallel storytelling – especially in week four – is inspired. A shame so few of the tie-ins are reprinted. It fits into the main timeline here.
