Justice Society of America (2007–11) Reading Order

Volume 3 of DC's Justice Society of America comic (the one that began after 52 and came to an end with Flashpoint and the "New 52") is one of those titles that keeps getting sucked into crossovers and events, and thus what order you should read it in is not totally obvious. Thus, here I am to straighten it out for you.

Crossover/event titles are noted in bold.

• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #1-4
• The Lightning Saga
• Justice League of America vol. 2 #8
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #5
• Justice League of America vol. 2 #9
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #6
• Justice League of America vol. 2 #10
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #7-8
• Thy Kingdom Come
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #9-17
• Justice Society of America Annual #1
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #18-20
• Justice Society of America: Kingdom Come Special: Superman #1
• Justice Society of America: Kingdom Come Special: Magog #1
• Justice Society of America: Kingdom Come Special: The Kingdom #1
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #21-22
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #23-28
• Justice Society of America 80-Page Giant #1 
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #29-40
• The Dark Things
• Justice League of America vol. 2 #44-46
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #41
• Justice League of America vol. 2 #47
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #42
• Justice League of America vol. 2 #48
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #43
• Justice Society of America 80-Page Giant 2010 #1
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #44-50
• Justice Society of America 80-Page Giant 2011 #1
• Justice Society of America vol. 3 #51-54

Note that there were two books that seem like they ought to be part of this reading order, but I omitted. Justice Society of America Annual #2 ties into JSA All-Stars vol. 2, and is best read after #3 of that title; Justice Society of America Special #1 concludes a three-part storyline that began in Magog #11 and 12; there is no best place to read it because no one will ever trick me into reading Magog.
