So I am reading Joker - Last Laugh mini and its cross over issues, but I am lost on what order I should read them in cause the list I had went:
Joker: Last Laugh Secret Files
Joker: Last Laugh #1
Young Justice #38
Orion #19
Azrael: Agent of the Bat #83
Joker: Last Laugh #2
(Just a short sample)
and when I started reading Young Justice, I got really lost on how superboy ended up like that lol.
Anyone got a better list?
PS: The main reason why I am reading this is cause I am reading the old BoP vol 1 and there is a tie-in in there.
THANKS!

The best plan is to ignore everything that wasn't written by Chuck Dixon. He wrote the core storyline that appears in Secret Files (that's where you need to start) and then the actual Last Laugh issues. Really, that's all that's essential. If you want to read more, you could add the tie-in issues of Birds of Prey, Robin and Nightwing, which were also written by Dixon and expand upon the storyline a bit. None of the other supposed "tie-in's" really have anything to do with the actual story.
Also, be aware that a lot of people have been underwhelmed by this storyline. Personally, I liked it a lot. But you need to read all of the Dixon issues, in proper order, and forget the rest.

I thought the JLA tie-in with Dr. Polaris was pretty good. Otherwise, Ipretty much agree with you. There was a lot of stupid going on in that story, like the Joker gas affecting Doomdsay and somehow giving him the ability to breathe fire.

Thanks, Jim and Alan! I thought no one would get back to me, I will do just as you guy ask, cause the tie-ins just got me all messed up so far.
Thank!

Are you at the part where Ted Kord shows up? I think it's the Nightwing issue.
