Now that we are long past the New 52 and moving to the future, many people are going back to fill in the gaps on the major weekly events that happened before.  Batman Eternal, Earth 2: World’s End, and the DC devining New 52 Futures End, really defined the coming Multiverse and Convergence event that came later.  Futures End especially had the most issues and was the most genre smashing, and will likely be an event that people return to for years.

Futures End is also difficult to make sense of and keep track of.  There seems to be a basic reading order, but with all of the tie-ins it is difficult to exactly see what to read where.  We have put together a reading order that includes all issues and suggested places to read them.  There are certain one-shots that can be read wherever, but many of them have ideal places for you to read them.  Also use this as a checklist since there are so many individual issues when it comes to both the weekly series(which has 48 titles itself) and then the one-shots.
