I'm reading Rom and Micronauts, but I haven't yet decided whether or not to buy the crossovers. Last week I bought the latest issues of both, but I didn't buy the crossover. I haven't gotten arounf to reading them yet, but I paged through them looking for a footnote or something to indicate which order to read them. There's a guide to the Revolution series and its crossovers, but nothing to indicate how the crossovers fit within the lead series. Another thing that bugs me is that each of last month's lead series have a cover banner which says "Revolution Begins Here!" Well, for that title, maybe, but the overall storyline shold have one single, optimal beginning.
