The "Five Years Later" story continues in August and part of Sept 2995, from when the Zero Hour time shenanigans start taking effect to just before Zero Hour #4. See the entry for Year 1 for the details.
In this table, rows are color-coded yellow if it was a date confirmed by the 2995 Sourcebook; green if it was a date confirmed in the comic itself; and blue for when I had to estimate a date. If the row is in italics, it means there was no specific date given. And finally, during Zero Hour, there were some things happening in 1994 (red text), in 2995, and at the dawn or end of time (blue text) "simultaneously". Once we get there, it's not strictly chronologically linear, but narratively linear instead.
