====== Timeline of the Crisis on Infinite Earths ======
This is a timeline of all events that occur before, during, and shortly after the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Since it shows the events on all five Earths in the Five Earths Project, it belongs on its own page. See each Earth for a Crisis timeline specifically tailored for that parallel world. This timeline is adapted and expanded from the Crisis flowchart in //Crisis on Infinite Earths Crossover Index// #1 of 1.
Events that are widespread (such as red skies or antimatter appearing) are in red. Events that are otherwise important are in blue. Events in //italics// are not in present time.
