For those who have been sticking with Justice League even before the major mutliversity Convergence event, then you have been treated to a mythological story in the vein of Final Crisis. Darkseid and the Anti-Life Equation have a biblical eschatology to them that is both epic and defining of the DC Comics universe. Now that it is several issues in, the story is becoming quite expansive and is expanding out from just the Justice League title. This includes a series of one-shots on top of the regular series, but with these scattered issues it can be a bit difficult to figure out where to go with it.
We have put together the Darkseid War reading order that should give you the straight line through the event.
