Update 12-28-08
Took advantage of a lazy Sunday today to update the Collected Editions DC Comics Trade Paperback Timeline with the DC crossovers Millenium and Invasion, and a couple of their tie-ins. We have more updates coming soon, just as soon as we have time to enter them. Happy New Year!

Update 09-03-08
As I've posted over at the Collected Editions blog, I've just updated the DC Trade Paperback Timeline. This update completes most of our One Year Later work and delves into the first volume of Countdown. Among events referenced here are the creation of the Justice League and Green Arrow's proposal to Black Canary, before Amazons Attack deposits us firmly in Countdown-land.
[Countdown, Volume One spoilers follow.]
One tricky spot in the timeline is placing the Teen Titans: Titans East collection before Countdown, Volume One. Bart Allen appears in Titans East, and I wanted all of his "alive" appearances to come before his death; this necessitates Titans East before Countdown. However, Duela Dent's death, which happens mainly in Countdown, is also shown in Titans East; to place Titans East before Countdown "spoils" Duela's death.
Ultimately I decided that preserving the order of Bart Allen's appearances was more important than doing so for Duela Dent, and Titans East should come first. Titans East does a good job with Duela's death, showing it on-screen rather than just referencing it, and so I didn't think it took anything away from that scene to put Titans East before Countdown, whereas the same couldn't be said for the opposite. So there you go.
I'm also still sorting out Captain Boomerang's appearances between Checkmate, Outsiders, Flash, and Countdown. I'm not sure there's a way around Boomer's appearance in Flash spoiling that he leaves the Outsiders in Five of a Kind, but I'm still looking in to this.
As always, any corrections you may find are much appreciated.

Update 2-3-08
In case you were wondering, the DC Trade Paperback Timeline is still being updated. Added today a couple more Birds of Prey trades, a Blue Beetle trade, Justice Society, and more. I think I have a pretty good idea of how things go leading in to the early part of Countdown, and then how thing's shake out from there ... I'm going to try to keep the timeline more continuously updated this year.
Question of the day: Anybody got early issues of Robin lying around? I know Robin started during the uncollected KnightsQuest section of Knightfall -- essentially, as DC has collected right now, the chronology is Knightfall 1, Knightfall 2, Robin: Flying Solo, and then Knightfall 3. But I'm trying to figure where Knightfall fits with the Death of Superman, and I distinctly remember a time where Robin was wearing a black Superman armband -- can anyone tell me in what issue the armband might've appeared? Thanks!
