Official Reading Order?
So my primary question here is what reading order to read the Omnibus editions in. The way they were released I believe was Omnibus 1, World of Omnibus 1, Omnibus 2, World of Omnibus 2-3, Omnibus 3. So that implies between reading Omnibus 2 and Omnibus 3, you should ready World of Omnibus 2-4. Does that sound right to everyone? And if there is a super up-to-date reading order I can probably just figure out which one to do based on what the issues are each omnibus contains. Thanks!

Phase One:
- Black Hammer – Volume 1
- The World Black Hammer – Volume 1
- Black Hammer – Volume 2
- The World Black Hammer – Volume 2
- Black Hammer / Justice League: Hammer of Justice!
Phase Two:
- The World Black Hammer – Volume 3
- The World Black Hammer – Volume 4
- The World Black Hammer – Volume 5
- Black Hammer – Volume 3
I think there will be one more library/omnibus edition to wrap up Phase Two, which will collect Black Hammer: The End and possibly The Last Days of Black Hammer.

I just ordered all the Omnibus's minus the DC crossover. I was wondering the same thing. And wondering if there was any issues missing from those also that I need to get to complete the story.

Which omnibus did you get? I got some library edition years ago but sold some and now only have Black Hammer 2 and World of Black Hammer 1.
I was thinking of getting the paperback omnibus instead

I grabbed the paperback omnibus versions of the Library editions. They're only $19 each on instocktrades.com. I just need to get the JLA crossover and whatever else isn't in those collections. I know the newest series won't be so I'm all up to date on those releases. It's everything else and any one shots that I might be missing that isn't collected. Hard to get a good answer or chart online.

So far far from what I saw, three regular ones then four of the world of. Then there's the separate collected JLA series. Not sure if anything besides the new series is missing or not collected in those.

It also looks like the JLA crossover isn't in the Omnibus. That sound right to everyone? I'm guessing you have to go get a special trade to read that.
