Going through my comic info I made I found this so I am putting it here so that others may comment on it if they want. Not sure where I got it So I am not taking credit for it. When I take credit I will say so


These 2 are good reads

History of the DC Universe #1-2 (is said to Not read it until you've read at least up to Identity Crisis)

JLA-Z #1-3 (Around late 2003-2004 Dc Comics did A Universe Info on The JLA. So if you want to know about the JLA these books would be a nice set to get.)

This is my Order. I found several Orders but no 2 the same so I pieced together what info I found. The Catwoman When in Rome #1-6 is said to take place in Batman Dark Victory #0-13. So I will correct it when I get the Issues unless some1 knows more on it. If this order is wrong due to Facts let me know what Facts & where the facts lead to.If I missed any Comic Issues let me know what comic issue(s) & where & why. Also there are people who don't like reading a comic with a couple pages here go onto another comic then back to the original comic. For me if it goes that way I will do it that way.
