Hmm...is Days of Steel (EW Vol 3) tied into continuity?
I saw on a website that Days of Steel came after Unity Vol 5 (but before 6) in their reading order.
Since EW Sword of the Wild didn't really tie in with the larger continuity I didn't think Vol 3 mattered much in terms of reading order. But damn that's a good title
I'm trying to stay in generally coherent reading order, but I really messed that up when I read The Valiant (but so worth it)

I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?

It's been a while since I read it, but didn't Days of Steel take place entirely in the past? (i.e. there was no contemporary narrator, right?) If so, then I don't think it really matters where you read it. I don't recall there being anything revealed that makes a difference in continuity.Oxmyx wrote:I saw on a website that Days of Steel came after Unity Vol 5 (but before 6) in their reading order.

If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I agree, I remember it as a stand alone story from the past.kjjohanson wrote:It's been a while since I read it, but didn't Days of Steel take place entirely in the past?

I don't think Days of Steel really has much to do with anything else. It's just a fun side story about Gilad's past. It came out before The Valiant, but it really doesn't matter when you read it.
