An Updated Complete Green Lantern Reading Order (1959-Present)

So it’s been nearly a year since my original Green Lantern Reading Order. I’ve updated some things since and have added the series from Future State and the upcoming series coming out of Infinite Frontier. I hope this is helpful.

Some notes before I start, I list all non-canon, Elseworlds, and stories of unclear canon at the end, for reading these, i liked to put them in between major storylines or runs roughly when they were written as a way to have a change of pace. For events such as the Third Army, First Lantern, and Blackest Night, I used the order they are in for the Blackest Night 10th Anniversary Omnibus and the Third Army and First Lantern trade paperbacks instead of referencing any online reading orders as they actually differ quite a bit. Finally, the Green Lantern/Silver Surfer crossover was included in the main reading order unlike any of the other various crossovers because it was directly referenced in Green Lantern (Vol 3) 87.
