What to read, in order

  1. Choose the era or character that interests you.
  2. Read the selected route’s numbered paperbacks in order.
  3. Do not alternate the three routes. They are separate stories set at different points in the timeline.

What comes next

After finishing one route, choose another era rather than assuming its issue numbers continue the same story.
