The Black Diamond Probability Crossover Reading Order

By Loki BBB-Revisit, Content, DC Comics, DC Crossovers

While DC’s New 52 has had a fair few higher profile crossover events, this one (which is really more of a cross-through than cross-over) went underneath the radar and largely unnoticed. Which is a shame, because it’s well worth reading through every part of it.

Prologue
Demon Knights #13 [1]	Demon Knights, vol.3: The Gathering Storm
Demon Knights #14 [1]	Demon Knights, vol.3: The Gathering Storm
Demon Knights #15 [1]	Demon Knights, vol.3: The Gathering Storm
All Star Western #13 [2]	All Star Western, vol.3: The Black Diamond Probability
The Black Diamond Probability
All Star Western #14 [3]	All Star Western, vol.3: The Black Diamond Probability
All Star Western #15 [3]	All Star Western, vol.3: The Black Diamond Probability
All Star Western #16 [3]	All Star Western, vol.3: The Black Diamond Probability
Team 7 #1 [4]	Team 7, vol.1: Fight Fire With Fire
Team 7 #2 [5]	Team 7, vol.1: Fight Fire With Fire
Team 7 #3 [5]	Team 7, vol.1: Fight Fire With Fire
Team 7 #4 [5]	Team 7, vol.1: Fight Fire With Fire
Catwoman #15 [6]	Catwoman, vol.3: Death of the Family
Catwoman #16	Catwoman, vol.3: Death of the Family
Epilogue
Sword of Sorcery #6 [7]	Sword of Sorcery, vol.1: Amethyst
Sword of Sorcery #7 [7]	Sword of Sorcery, vol.1: Amethyst
Sword of Sorcery #8 [7]	Sword of Sorcery, vol.1: Amethyst

Notes:

Set in the Middle Ages, none of these three issues is bannered as a part of the crossover, but they mark the earliest appearance of the Black Diamond and its sinister effects.

Set in the late 19th Century, and not bannered as part of the crossover, but features the next (chronological) appearance of the Black Diamond and leads directly into the story.

Follows on directly from the previous issue of All Star Western.

Set approximately five years ago, and not bannered as part of the crossover, but features Team 7 being assembled and assigned the mission that will lead them into the story.

Follows on directly from the previous issue of Team 7.

Set in the present day.

Set in the present day and not bannered as part of the crossover, but details the origins of Eclipso and the Black Diamond.
