Blackest Night Reading Order

You wouldn’t guess it from the success of the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie, but Green Lantern comics hit such a peak in popularity and quality in the 2000’s that DC Comics hinged their 2009 universe-wide event on the happenings in Green Lantern.

Couple that with a Walking Dead fueled surge in Zombie popularity, and you get yourself the fascinating Blackest Night.

For those of you that want to enjoy the Green Lantern ride here, I highly recommend checking out the Geoff John’s era reading order.  Otherwise, you can enjoy the Blackest Night reading order below!

    Missing from issue order – Superman/Batman 66 & 67, Booster Gold 26 & 27, Doom Patrol 4 & 5, JLA 39 & 40, Outsiders 24 & 25, REBELS 10 & 11, Suicide Squad 67, Secret Six 17 & 18, Teen Titans 77 & 78.

    I loved this reading order but the collection of digital comics I had for Blackest Night had these in the mix and I don’t really know when to read them in the order and its bothering me any ideas fellow comic fans?

      Go to ComiXology and look it up is Series. It lists each book as 1 of 87, 2 of 87 etc. (it’s not 87, just an example).

      Just checked. It’s under Story arc in ComiXology. There are 79 issues listed in order. You can see the count in the Summary of each issue.

        Signed up for comixology just to get this list but not seeing anywhere in current setup (now integrated within kindle app) to search by series. Can you confirm this is no longer possible to find?

    Is there a reason that Suicide Squad 67 isn’t on this list?

      It seems like it, although it is missing R.E.B.E.L.S. #10 & 11
