After Crisis on Infinite Earths "rebooted" the entire DC continuity, only the Psycho Pirate remembered the multi-verse.
But then it was only Psycho Pirate and Harbinger.
But then it was only those two, the Guardians of the Universe, and a few members of the Green Lantern Corps like Kilowog who lost his home world during the crisis or Lady Quark...
Now that we've been through the Infinite Crisis and the Final Crisis is pending, just about every DC Universe character seems to know all about all the current 52 universes as well as the infinite universes prior to CoIE!
As I'm reading through my post-CoIE Superman comics I've come across a few instances where Superman himself mentions the Crisis.
I can't remember the first instance, but the second time I noticed it was during the L.E.G.I.O.N./Superman cross-over (AOS Annual #2 & L.E.G.I.O.N. Annual #1, 1990) when Superman mentions that he fought against the Anti-Monitor with Lady Quark(!).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Byrne's Superman was supposed to be a composite of all the pre-CoIE iterations of Superman.
This being said, my questions are as follows:
1. Which, if any, of the pre-CoIE Superman stories are included in the "continuity" of Byrne's Superman?
2. Which, if any, of the pre-CoIE Superman stories are included in the "continuity" of the further retcons of Superman since Byrne?
3. Where would CoIE go in the 'reading order' of current Superman titles? After Byrne's "Man of Steel" mini-series?
I'm not looking for theories or conjecture -- I can sit around and make crap up just fine by myself, thanks.
Just trying to keep my LCS in buisness.
TIA!!
