Darkseid's Legion Reading Order 2024-2026

The saga of Darkseid's Legion (aka the Absolute Legion, aka the Dark Legion) ran in various titles from October 2024 to March 2026 - quite a long time, from the start of "All-In" to the end of "DC K.O.". If you want to read the whole thing, here's the reading order based on when the issue went on sale. Note that some issues only had the Time Trapper (Doomsday) and not any of the Dark Legionnaires.

All of the stories have been or will soon be collected, except for the Summer of Superman Special #1 and the various Flash issues (which undoubtedly will be collected soon). This table has the reading order and where it's collected, and at the bottom you'll find the collections themselves.*
