DC Updated Through February 2022!

Hey everyone! I hope all of you who celebrated Thanksgiving had a great holiday weekend and those of you who didn't had a fantastic regular weekend! This was my first year flying home after Thanksgiving, so I finally understand the craziness everyone talks about. We flew on Monday morning, so I'm assuming Saturday and Sunday is an absolute nightmare.

Now that I'm home and out of vacation mode, I spent a few hours after work today getting the DC Infinite Frontier Reading Order updated wi...

Thanksgiving Update!

First off, to anyone who celebrates, an early Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm with family for the week and likely won't have much computer access, so I put in a few hours worth of work yesterday on the Post-Crisis Reading Order. I completed Suicide Squad, Doom Patrol, and a handful of additional shorter series. It looks like this current reading order I'm working on is turning into Justice League, JL character books, and any other team books.

I've never read Doom Patrol (somehow) but look...

Small Update

Happy Wednesday!

Still no February 2022 solicitations for DC or Marvel, so I've been continuing work on the Post-Crisis Reading Orders. Today I went through just over a hundred issues of The Flash and a few mini-series.

I hope to start going through Suicide Squad and a few other series tomorrow and Friday so I can get a bunch done before flying home for Thanksgiving next week.

That's all for my small update today. Thanks again for being a patron and happy reading!

Post-Crisis Justice League/Society Posted

Hey Everyone! My Post-Crisis Justice League Reading Order was becoming a bit too comprehensive, so I pulled out some of the character specific books and cut it down to a Justice League and Justice Society focused Reading Order.

The DC Post-Crisis JLA-JSA Reading Order is now posted and available here. I've already completed Booster Gold, Blue Beetl...

Annual Membership Offer

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that I've added an Annual Membership option to the Patreon. If you'd like to go in for a full year, it will save you 10% off the costs of any tier.

Thanks again for trusting me with your reading orders and a big welcome to this month's new patrons and our first annual subscriber! We dropped back down below 90 patrons this month, but I'm holding up hopes that we'll accomplish the 100 patron goal by the end of the year :)

I'll be back t...

November Update

Happy November and a big thanks for continuing to contribute to my work!

This month I'm again focusing on my DC Post-Crisis Reading Order work. My last day at my previous employer was yesterday, so I was able to put in about 4 hours of work this morning digitally flipping through Firestorm, Wonder Woman, and Justice League of America comics. I had to send back my nice dual monitors, so my productivity is a little bit slower now, but I'm hoping my new company sends my equipment quickly s...

Marvel Updated Through January 2022!!!

The Marvel Legacy/Fresh Start Reading Order is now updated with the January 2022 solicitations! This includes a few mini-series (Defenders, Ka-Zar: Lord of the Savage Land, Avengers: Tech-On) as well as story arcs from a number of series, and the complete Death of Doctor Strange event. I also went back and added in some more of the new Infinity Comics and added some issue names in blank cells.

I hope you've all had a fantastic week and put aside some time to read this weekend! I'll be b...

DC Updated Through January 2022!!!

Somewhat of a small DC update this month because a lot of January issues were solicited last month, but the DC Infinite Frontier Reading Order is now updated through January! This includes a few issues of Superman: Son of Kal El, a Peacemaker one-shot, and Hardware: Season One.

I've also put a few hours into both a Post-Crisis: Justice League and Post-Crisis: Cosmic Reading Order this week, hoping to get back to that soon and have something to post within the next couple weeks.

Sandman with Hellblazer Now Available!!!!

All 300 issues of Hellblazer and all Vertigo Constantine mini-series have been integrated into the Sandman Reading Order. I did not override the original file, but instead made a second version in case some of you don't want it included.

I also included the Ming Doyle, James Tynion IV, and Riley Rossmo post-New 52 series (which I remember very much enjoying), the Constantine Rebirth series, and the most recent Sandman Presents series and Black Label mini-series. The only series I did no...

Sandman Reading Order!!!

The Sandman Reading Order (without Hellblazer) is complete and available in the DC folder! I am still going through the 300 issues of Hellblazer to identify multi-story arcs, but I'm hoping to get that version of the Reading Order uploaded within the next few days. After that my focus is back on the Justice League Post-Crisis Reading Order.

Thanks everyone! Have a nice week!

DC Updated Through December 2021!

Happy Wednesday! The DC Infinite Frontier Reading Order has now been updated through the December 2021 solicitations! This includes new story arcs from Wonder Woman and Detective Comics and mini-series like Icon & Rocket Season One, Crush & Lobo, and Robin & Batman (which I am very much looking forward to reading).

I have maybe one or two more series to add to The Sandman Reading Order before it's ready to post, but I hope to have that ready by next week along with an update...

October Update!

Thank you so much for continuing to support my Patreon! It looks like we lost a handful of people this month, but no worries, I will still continue to work on future parts of the Post-Crisis Reading Order while maintaining the current DC and Marvel orders.

This month I plan on getting all of you the December 2021 DC Infinite Frontier update, complete Sandman Reading Order, and one or two more P...

The Sandman Poll

Hi everyone! Like I said in my Marvel Reading Order update yesterday, I've been working on The Sandman Reading Order between other tasks and realized there are a few Vertigo series that aren't overly connected but a character may pop up here and there.

Series like Lucifer, The Dreaming, House of Mystery, and Books of Magic are a little more obviously connected, but others like Hellblazer and Swamp thing are Vertigo books but not "Sandman" books.

My question is, should I include th...

Marvel Updated Through December 2021!

The Marvel Legacy/Fresh Start Reading Order has been updated through December 2021! This includes a handful of story arcs, The Darkhold and The Wastelanders crossover events, and Inferno, the end of Jonathan Hickman's X-Men Era.

Have you been keeping up with Marvel lately? What have you been reading? Do you recommend it?

I actually just read through the complete Secret Empire event in the All-New All-Different Reading Order. I can't say I loved it but I will say I definitely didn'...

80 Patron Goal Results

The results are in and after incorporating in the Binger votes, Sandman has won by only 2 votes!!!

Final results were Sandman = 12, Mignolaverse = 10, Fables = 5, Spawn = 1, TMNT = 5

If you were really hoping for a Mignolaverse Reading Order, don't worry! I will be posting a similar poll for the 100 patron goal and you are more than welcome to vote for it again at that time. In the meanti...

Dawn of X Reading Order

Hi everyone! The way I list the Hickman era X-Men series in my Marvel Legacy/Fresh Star Reading Order doesn't necessarily match the order recommended in the trade paperback collections, so I've gone ahead and created a Dawn of X Reading Order which covers everything from House of X/Powers of X through the Hellfire Gala and Inferno.

From what I unde...

Post-Crisis Superman is Live!

Part one of the Post-Crisis Superman Reading Order is now live! This includes everything from Crisis on Infinite Earths through Zero Hour, including the complete Death of Superman story.

Next up I'm going to take a break from Post-Crisis and update the DC Infinite Frontier and Marvel Legacy/Fresh Start Reading Orders, then I'll jump into Post-Crisis Justice League...

80 Patron Goal!!!!

Thank you all again for your support! I don't know that I ever expected to reach 80 patrons; it's really a pleasure to see you all finding and enjoying my reading orders.

Similar to the 60 Patron Goal, I'm looking to develop a bonus reading order for all of you that will take me less than 10 or so hours to create. I've listed out a few options that interest me and will hopefully be popular among you all as well. If you have a recommendation for an additional option, please feel free to ...

Making Headway with Superman

As of today I've finished ordering the main Superman post-crisis books (Action Comics, Adventures of Superman, Superman, Man of Steel) and I'm moving onto all of the miniseries and Superman family books like Supergirl, Superboy, etc. I hope to have a complete reading order ready to share with you all late next week.

In the meantime...today we passed our 80 patron goal!!!!!!!!!

Thank you a...

Random Recommendation: Happiness

I generally save my random recommendations for Binger Tier patrons but I don't have much to share this week, since I'm still toiling away on the Superman Reading Order, so I thought I would share this one with all of you.

This is a little more random than most of my others being that it's a manga, but it's still a comic, just not an American comic.

I purchased a Humble Bundle about a year ago that included a bunch of horror manga for Halloween. I decided around then that I wanted ...

Post-Crisis Superman Update

Hi everyone! I put a few hours of work into the Superman Reading Order this week, I'm currently navigating Action Comics Weekly which seems to transition between Superman and non-Superman related stories. Once I get that all figured out, I need to finish up my Action Comics, Superman, and Adventures of Superman ordering and throw in all the related series like Supergirl.

Between dealing with our bikes being stolen today and heading out for a weekend getaway for Labor Day weekend on Fri...

Marvel Updated Through November 2021!!!

The Marvel Legacy/Fresh Start Reading Order is now updated with the November 2021 solicitations. This includes the start of Amazing Spider-Man Beyond, a few mini-series and story arcs, and Black Cat - Infinity Score.

Later this week I'll be back to work on the Superman Post-Crisis Reading Order. I'll hopefully have the first part of that out to you all in the next few weeks.

To all the new patrons: welcome to the community and thanks for joining! To all of my ongoing patrons: than...

DC Infinite Frontier Updated Through November!

Hey everyone!

Today I updated the DC Infinite Frontier Reading Order with the recent DC November 2021 Solicitations. This update includes the full Batman: Fear State event and a bunch of other issues and story-arcs.

Based on the poll results from last week, I will be continuing to focus on completing my Post-Crisis Reading Order through Zero Hour. I will be starting on the Superman books this week and will hopefully have a reading order prepared for you in the next two to three we...

Post-Crisis Reading Order Poll

Hi everyone!

Like I said in my post yesterday, I'm at the point where I can either continue working on Batman Post-Zero Hour or I can work on other DC character reading orders to get a complete Post-Crisis to Post-Zero Hour Reading Order out as soon as possible.

Please use this poll to let me know which you would prefer me to work on first.

I'll keep this open through Friday so I can continue working this weekend and next week.

Post-Crisis Batman Reading Order Part 1 Complete!

Finally something to share!!!!

Today I completed the portion of the Batman Reading Order which stretches from Crisis on Infinite Earths to Zero Hour, including the full KnightFall/KnightQuest/KnightsEnd Trilogy. You can find it HERE.

I tried to include all Batman related characters and series but it's possible I may have missed random one-...

Post-Crisis Update/Slight Change of Plans

So...I've been hard at work on the DC Post-Crisis Reading Order (still Batman-related books so far) and I realized there's a perfect point where I can end the Reading Order and start another...

In order to get reading orders out to you more quickly, I will be completing a DC-Post Crisis Reading Order running through Zero Hour followed by a DC-Post Zero Hour Reading Order running through the nex...

Updates! Updates! Updates!

Now that all of my major life events for this year are out of the way, I thought I'd sit down and focus on a bunch of updates this week. With the October solicitations out for all publishers, I was able to get the DC Infinite Frontier, Marvel Legacy/Fresh Start, Star Wars, Power Rangers, and Valiant Reading Orders all up-to-date.

Getting all of these updates completed at once should put me in a good place to fully focus on the DC Post-Crisis Reading Order during the month of August. I'm...

Star Wars Canon Reading Order Posted!!!

The Star Wars Reading Order is now located within the Marvel folder and contains all canon comics, books, movies, tv shows, and video games currently released and releasing soon. I did leave out short stories and young reader books, but the list is otherwise complete.

Unlike my other reading orders, I decided to split this one up into separate tabs by era based on the way it's outlined in the current table of contents of the comics. I thought this would be simpler than listing everythin...

60 Patron Goal Poll Results!

Hey everyone! I'm still moving into my new place and trying to find things in my boxes, but I wanted to give a quick update since I've been silent for a little while.

The 60 Patron Goal Poll ended on Friday and the winner is...Star Wars Canon!

I actually started on this years ago when the new comics started at Marvel, so I already have a headstart on it that I can work off of. I'm hoping to put aside time this week to get that up-to-date and posted here. It will include the comics...

60 Patron Goal!!!!!

Thank you all so much for supporting me with my reading orders! This was really a pet project for me for years because I couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere online, and it brings me a lot of pleasure seeing so many others enjoying them as well!

I've changed the 60 patron goal a few times based on my current workload with the Post-Crisis DC Reading Order and keeping the modern reading orders up-to-date, but I wanted to put out this poll to let you all help me decide what the fi...
