DC New 52 Reading Order | Complete Comics Checklist & Guide!

Following the events of the DC Comics event Flashpoint, DC reset their entire universe in what was called The New 52. This meant that in September 2011, every single comic book published by DC was reset with a new #1 issue, and in many cases, a new beginning to comic book continuity reaching as far back as 1985’s Crisis on Infinite Earths.

The merits of DC’s decision can be and will be debated for years to come. Either way, the New 52 gives us a set collection of DC Universe comics that extends from late 2011 to early 2016.

Below you’ll find a complete guide to the entire New 52, in the reading order that I have defined. The guide follows a structure similar to what I’ve compiled for Marvel NOW!, with comics grouped according to affiliations (Batman Universe, Superman Universe, etc) where possible.

Fans who want the fast track, check out my guide to 25 essential New 52 Comics!

Please note, that if you see something off as you’re reading, I definitely appreciate the feedback and suggestions in the comments below! The Comic Book Herald community has been great about shaping the reading orders on this site, and I fully expect the same to apply to DC’s New 52.

0) Zero Year – Batman & Superman’s Early Years

As I’ve suggested in the New 52 Batman reading order, you have two approaches with starting the New 52. Chronologically, the Batman story told in Batman #21 to #33 occurs very early in Batman’s career (hence: Zero Year). But as I’m sure you can tell, this means you are not starting with Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Batman #1, which may short circuit your continuity senses.

I’ve tried reading through them both ways, and personally I prefer starting with Batman: Zero Year, rather than going into flashback mode midway through the Batman run. That said, if you want to read The New 52 more closely aligned with the books’ publication release dates, skip past Batman Vol. 5 below and be on your merry way!

Batman Vol. 4

DC Comics: Zero Year

Batman Vol. 5

Batman/Superman Vol. 1

Action Comics Vol. 1

Action Comics was actually published at the launch of the New 52, with Grant Morrison and Rags Morales telling the story of Superman’s early years. Note that although Action Comics ran alongside the launch of other New 52 books, Morrison and Morales set their Superman story deeper in the past. This means you’ll make your way through more issues of Action Comics than other comics early on.

1) Justice League Origins

Justice League Vol. 1

Geoff Johns and Jim Lee tell the New 52 formation of the Justice League in just about the most epic way possible. This collection likely sets the tone for a lot of the cinematic DC Expanded Universe.

Action Comics Vol. 2

Action Comics Vol. 3

Action Comics Vol. 4

2) Meet the New 52

2.1) Meet the New 52: Red, Weird, and Green

4) Flashback / Before Modern Day

Demon Knights Vol. 1

Demon Knights Vol. 2

Demon Knights Vol. 3

DC’s Demon Knights is set during the medieval ages, so if you’re enjoying, you can go ahead and read the whole series all at once without fear of overlapping continuity.

All-Star Western Vol. 1

All-Star Western Vol. 2

All-Star Western Vol. 3

All-Star Western Vol. 4

5) Meet the Bat Family

Penguin: Pain and Prejudice

This Penguin backstory is really more of a limited series that just happened to see release around the same time as New 52 launch. Regardless, it’s much better than I would have expected from a Penguin limited series, and adds some quality background for the history of Gotham, similar to Gates of Gotham.

Red Hood and the Outlaws Vol. 1

Batwoman Vol. 1

Batman and Robin Vol. 1

Detective Comics Vol. 1

Batgirl Vol. 1

Batwing Vol. 1

33) Multiversity (If You’re Nasty)

Multiversity

Multiversity is, in many ways, Grant Morrison’s omniversal follow-up to the 2009 DC event Final Crisis. It’s a thrilling madcap Morrison odyssey through DC’s alternate realities. You certainly don’t need to read this as part of New 52 continuity, but if you enjoy Morrison, or just pure meta comic book insanity, Multiversity is inside my top 100 favorite comics of all time for a reason.
