Knight Terrors reading order

Background reading

In this section, I usually point to a few comics to read that lead up to an event. However, Knight Terrors, the first comic book event of the Dawn of DC era, doesn’t have any particular stories that are required reading before jumping into it. If you want to read something to read, I suggest checking out Dawn of DC: Knight Terrors Free Comic Book Day Special #1. This is a special teaser issue that DC Comics is giving away for free to promote the event.

A short pause for some comics

It’s worth noting that many of DC Comics’ ongoing series will be paused during the Knight Terrors event. This will be for two months and will affect the series featuring characters with tie-ins. Instead, these characters will have a two-part Knight Terrors miniseries. The comics will return in September.

For example, the ongoing Batman series will not be published during Knight Terrors. Instead of Batman #137 in July and Batman #138 in August, Knight Terrors: Batman #1-2 will be published. Batman #137 will be published in September after the conclusion of Knight Terrors.
