Recommended Reading Order - 1777 Entries

This is a reading order for every collected edition and bookshelf format release in the DC multiverse!

The main goal is to help people arrange books on a shelf and decide what title to read next. This is a list of books that can be read start to finish with the least amount of spoilers and awkwardness, and with the maximum enjoyment of events, cameos, and crossovers.

All of the DC character, series, and event reading lists are created in relation to this master list. If you are looking for something more specific, check the tags to the right or create a filtered search!

To view a quick loading text version of this list go to the DC Quick List.

Sorry, whatever you were looking for is not here!

If you were doing a search or filter, no titles matched your criteria. Try a more general search term or limiting your filter to a single field instead of multiple queries. Or maybe you followed an outdated link from an old forum post

Sometimes this message shows up if the site is overloaded. If you were coming from a page that implied there should be something here (a second page out of two for an archive, for example) try going back, waiting a second, and then clicking again.

If you typed in your url manually, or were linked from an outside source, you might want to check to see if you are in the correct place. Sometimes links seem right, but are a little bit off.

For example, if you're viewing the blog at http://www.tradereadingorder.com/blog/, then http://www.tradereadingorder.com/blog/page/2/ will not work. This is a quirk with wordpress.

However, the proper category context does work, IE, http://www.tradereadingorder.com/list/blog/page/2/ or http://www.tradereadingorder.com/list/blog/updates/page/2/

This may be the same for character pages - you might be looking for "Superman/Batman" and typed in http://www.tradereadingorder.com/character/supermanbatman/. The URL you'd want in that case is a little different, http://www.tradereadingorder.com/character/superman-batman/.

If you feel that you are running into a serious issue, let me know by emailing me here or posting in our forums. Thanks!
