This is the easy reading order for Phase 1 of Superman Rebirth. This is focused on only the MOST important Superman Volumes. Superman Rebirth is mainly focused on three plot lines. 1. Who is Mr. Oz? 2. Jonathan Kent (Superboy) meeting the world. 3. Superman’s relationship to continuity. This Superman is a new Superman who lived in the multiverse before Flashpoint wiped away the modern era.
Stories not include: Kenan Kong and the Justice League of China’s birth, Manchester Black’s Story, all of the PHENOMENAL Super Sons, EVENT: Supersons Tomorrow, A lonely place of living, Supergirl’s run, Superwoman, and Trinity.
