Another quasi-tie-in worth checking out is Superman: Time and Time Again, which was a Dan Jurgens yarn that had Superman bouncing back and forth in time and introduced The Linear Men, a concept Jurgens folded Waverider into after the A:2001 event wrapped up. It's good fun with Superman making friends with dinosaurs, becoming a circus strongman, and being part of the moon getting detonated in the Legion of Super-heroes timeline (which was a major event for that series).

If they wanted to preserve the reveal after the spoilers, what they SHOULD have done was make it so Captain Atom is still the Monarch Waverider went back in time to stop, and with the knowledge of how Monarch came to be and all that and Captain Atom currently being a good guy they can take steps to prevent that from happening, BUT one of the other heroes Waverider showed the future to, because they are convinced something horrible is going to happen to them or their loved ones now, becomes a different Monarch NOW, in 1991, basically giving a surprise second reveal of a second Monarch who takes cues from the Captain Atom Monarch in their plot. Basically that whole "fulfilling the prophecy by trying not to" cliche.

I’ll admit that I like the IDEA of the big company-wide crossovers taking place in the annuals, since it’s very frustrating to have your book’s ongoing stories shelved for a while for some big thing that you may or may not be interested in reading. The problem is that so many of the ones that DC did in this period were different flavors of Elseworlds and just weren’t very good. Also, pretty sure that the company would be mad that putting the big stories in the annuals made it easier for us to skip.

I remember being in high school and had really only just started reading comics (the Superman books were pretty much the main thing). At the time, I had no idea how much everything connected together in the DCU, so the tagline for this event had me so intrigued: “One of this era’s greatest heroes will become its greatest villain.” I was like, “Holy shit!” This event single-handedly exposed me to the greater DC world. And I always loved time-travel stories. But I do remember being very confused after reading the conclusion because of that earlier Hawk & Dove Annual. I didn’t find out until the 2000s about that whole spoiler debacle which is when I realized, “Ohhhh, now it makes sense the way it ended.” Now that I have a much deeper 30-year-old well of knowledge of comic book lore (and having honed my own writing skills), I can truly look back on Armageddon 2001 and realize… boy did it suuuuck…

The annuals were great actually. The story was a mess. When you think about it, if it had to happen, it actually made more sense for Monarch to be Dove. Monarch didn’t have to be male in that armor, he was obsessed with creating a totalitarian orderly state (Dove was powered by the concept of Order, Hawk of Chaos who would never have the discipline to make a police state); Monarch was a genius (Dove’s power made her super smart, Hawk was dimwitted); even Monarch’s troops were called Peacekeepers (Dove was inspired by Peace, Hawk by War). Instead they shoved this great character into a fridge. But either way they’d still be trying to bang their daughter lol

The only way the swerve at the end makes any sense is if you assume that Monarch actually *was* Captain Atom in Waverider's original timeline, and his and Monarch's interference in both the alternate timelines and 1991 actively changed it so that it was Hank instead, which invalidates the timeline with Unity. With that in mind, Monarch's "yes, I remember this happening, I remember being you!" thing is his memory being rewritten as he becomes Hank instead of Atom.
