I need some help figuring out how to read Earth 2 #27-32 in conjunction with the Earth 2: World’s End series. This is, by far, one of the most confusing reading order conundrums that I’ve come across in my short time as a comics reader, and it doesn’t help that DC hasn’t provided an official guide on how they should be read. I’ve found three sites with three different reading orders:
Site 1 says that this is the reading order:
Earth 2: World’s End #1-3, Earth 2 #27-28, WE #4-8, E2 #29, WE #9-16, E2 #30, WE #17-23, E2 #31-32, WE #24-26
Site 2 gives this as the reading order:
Earth 2: World’s End #1-3, Earth 2 #27-28, WE #4-8, E2 #29, WE #9, E2 #30, WE #10-18, E2 #31, WE #19-21, E2 #32, WE #22-26
Site 3 has an order that goes by trades, with the Earth 2 issues placed in the middle of the World’s End series:
World’s End #1-11, Earth 2 #27-32, WE #12-26
And of course there’s also option 4, which is to read them in the order they were published:
Earth 2 #27, Earth 2: World’s End #1-4, E2 #28, WE #5-8,
E2 #29, WE #9-13, E2 #30, WE #14-17, E2 #31, WE #18-21, E2 #32, WE #22-26
(It doesn’t help, though, that some Earth 2 and World’s End issues were published on the same day, so going this route there’s no way to know which one should be read first.)
And finally, I suppose there’s also option 5, which is to read Earth 2 #27-32 straight through and then read World’s End straight through (or vice versa).
Which reading order is correct? Thanks for the help!
