Justice League Post-Crisis Reading Order
This is as far as I have read! Beyond this point is what I plan on reading. Stay tuned for Updates.

Post-Zero Hour Reading Order:

Following the conclusion of the Justice League International era, the team underwent a transition leading up to Grant Morrison’s run after the events of Zero Hour. The JLI disbanded, making way for a new lineup that consisted of classic heroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman, along with some new additions. Grant Morrison’s run introduced a more cosmic and surreal approach, exploring intricate storylines and introducing innovative concepts that expanded the scope of the Justice League’s adventures. This shift in tone and storytelling paved the way for a dynamic and visionary era of the Justice League.

In my mid-30s, I ventured into the mesmerizing world of comic books, and since then, they've captured my heart as one of my cherished pastimes. With a delightful dance between Marvel and DC, sprinkled with the occasional indie gem, I've immersed myself in this enchanting universe. As a true completionist at heart, my passion for collecting has birthed an abundance of reading lists that I'm thrilled to share with all of you, bringing us together on this thrilling comic journey.
