If you have been following Bad Seeds, you know it jumps between a lot of books. Batman, Detective Comics, Poison Ivy, Batgirl, Batwoman, Catwoman, Nightwing, Harley Quinn, plus four specials with "Bad Seeds" in the name. It is easy to lose track of which ones you have.
So we put the whole thing on one page: Batman: Bad Seeds, in reading order.
The short version. Nine books carry the main story: Poison Ivy #47, Sunset #1, Batman #13, Detective Comics #1113, Poison Ivy #48, Batman #14, Detective Comics #1114, Poison Ivy #49, and Sunrise #1. Those nine carry the main story start to finish.
What is still coming. Streets of Gotham #1 and Gotham Central #2 come out this Wednesday, October 14. Detective Comics #1114 and three tie-ins follow on October 21. The finale, Sunrise #1, comes out October 28 with Poison Ivy #49.
Two books moved. Gotham General #1 was supposed to come out September 9. It now comes out October 28, the same day as the finale. Issue #2 moved to November 25. DC has not said where it sits in the story.
What comes after. DC already has the next books on the schedule, and the first two close for ordering Monday, October 12:
After Monday, a shop only gets the copies it ordered.
Later in November: Gotham General #2 and the Batman 2026 Annual (the Minotaur and the Torus) close November 2. Batman #16, Gangs of Gotham #2 and Poison Ivy #50 close November 9. The dates for all of them are on the reading order page.
Dates and story details are as announced by DC and can change. This is a reading guide, not investment advice.
