With the list growing and growing everyday my cash is all going to comic books.

To be honest, though the said comic book is suggested to be a tie-in I'll only buy the book with a label that it's a "Villain's United tie-in" or an "Omac tie-in".

Comic book resources has released the latest copy of tie-ins which you can see in this link:

This one below is a blow by blow account I've copied from vBulletin forum:

Superman Secret Files 2004 (The connection is unclear, but as it will be in the upcoming Prelude to Infinite Crisis TPB, it belongs here)
Identity Crisis #1-3
Flash #214-215 (Wally learns Barry's secret)
Identity Crisis #4
Manhunter #5 (Manhunter goes after Shadow Thief, who "killed" Firestorm in IC #4)
Firestorm #6 (Jason Rusch discovers Ronnie Raymond's fate)
Identity Crisis #5
JSA #67 (Dr. Light's autopsy of Sue Dibney)
Identity Crisis #6-7
Flash #216-217 (Wally tries to atone for Barry's sin, funeral of Captain Cold)
Adam Strange #1-8 (Leads into Rann/Thanagar War)
Teen Titans #20 (Robin copes with his father's death)
Adventures of Superman #636 (The Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman summit)
Flash #219/Wonder Woman #214 (Same deal as Superman Secret Files 2004)
(In the stories that take place after this point, Wonder Woman's sight has been restored, something that has yet to happen in her own title.)
Teen Titans #21-23 (Titans face Dr. Light, who is taken away as the story leads directly into Villains United)
Green Lantern: Rebirth #1-6 (Hal is separated from the Spectre, leading into Day of Vengeance, Kyle and Kilowog spin into Rann/Thanagar War)
DC Countdown #1
The OMAC Project #1-2
Action Comics #826/Adventures of Superman #639/Superman #216 (Superman & Captain Marvel vs. Eclipso, leads into Day of Vengeance)
Superman #217 (Superman battles OMAC)
Day of Vengeance #1-2
JSA #73-74 (Ties in to Day of Vengeance)
Action Comics #828 (SPOILER since it came out just todayDr. Polaris recruited to the Society of Villains)
Villains United #1-2
Nightwing #109 (Labelled a Villains United crossover, but the connection isn't clear... yet)
Rann/Thanagar War #1-2
DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy #1

JLA #115 begins "Crisis of Conscience," which deals with the fallout of Identity Crisis, but having not read it yet, I don't know exactly where to put it in the timeline.

I'm also considering adding the "Insiders" crossover in Teen Titans #24-25 and Outsiders #24-25, but I'm not 100 percent sure yet on that one. I may wait until the end of the story to decide if it belongs there. Same goes for the Rogue War in Flash #220-225.
