ROBYN HOOD, OZ, GODSTORM AND REALM EXPANSION

ROBYN HOOD, OZ, GODSTORM AND REALM EXPANSION Spoiler warning: I’m covering the series premises and reading order, without giving away the endings or anything from later Wonderland or Grimm Fairy Tales Volume 2. This period is where the line gets much wider. Sela's main story continues, Robyn gets her own series, Oz gets a sustained adventure, and Godstorm brings the gods into the growing conflict. “Realm Expansion” is a useful label for this guide. It is not a single crossover with a publisher-mandated order for every book. WHAT CHANGES There are now several ongoing paths through the universe. Robyn and Oz can be read in chunks without switching back to Sela after every issue. Godstorm is more directly connected to the next event: Zenescope explicitly describes its #0–4 collection as a lead-in to Unleashed. [Publisher's Godstorm listing](https://t.co/YlxFqzfdyi) Some books overlap these era labels. Follow the story and issue numbers rather than assuming every trade published in the same year belongs at the same point. READ ORDER: MAIN STORY AND CONNECTED MATERIAL I’m using a story-first route here. “Core” follows the main book; “connected” fills in the surrounding story without requiring every independent branch. 1. Myths & Legends #8–11. Connected follow-through from Dream Eater. 2. GFT #65–75. Core. If #65–66 are already finished after Dream Eater, start at #67. 3. Myths & Legends #12–21. Connected. Keep the issue numbering in order. 4. GFT Giant-Size 2012. Connected special. 5. GFT #76–81. Core. Read this block together. 6. GFT 2012 Annual → Angel One-Shot. Connected two-part route. Angel is also catalogued as Grimm Universe #0. Its solicitation explicitly says it continues the Annual. [Angel solicitation](https://t.co/fL3ah6Ju4C) 7. Bad Girls #1–5. Connected. 8. Myths & Legends #22–25. Connected conclusion to that series. 9. Grimm Universe #1–4. Connected. Stop before #5; that is an Unleashed chapter. 10. GFT #82–84. Core. Keep the two Jack Frost issues, #83–84, together. 11. Godstorm #0–4. Recommended setup for Unleashed. Choose the five singles or the Volume 1 trade. 12. Move to the Unleashed guide before reading GFT #85 or Grimm Universe #5. The placement of the connected blocks follows the established story-first checklist rather than strict monthly publication order. [Cross-title checklist](https://t.co/lCCc6xDb1u) READ ORDER: ROBYN HOOD BRANCH This is optional for following Sela's numbered series, but it is the starting route for Robyn herself. 1. Robyn Hood (2012) #1–5. 2. Robyn Hood vs. Red Riding Hood one-shot. 3. Realm Knights One-Shot (2013). This is separate from Realm Knights #1 of the four-issue miniseries. 4. Robyn Hood: Wanted #1–5. Writer Pat Shand specifically places the Red Riding Hood and Realm Knights one-shots between the first Robyn miniseries and Wanted. [Pat Shand interview](https://t.co/f4FyWP6ZEr) After Wanted, carry Robyn into the next era's Realm Knights/Age of Darkness material and Legend #1–5. Do not start the 2014 Robyn Hood #1 by mistake: that is a later ongoing series, not another copy of the 2012 origin. READ ORDER: OZ AND OTHER PARALLEL BOOKS 1. Oz #1–6, collected as Oz Volume 1. 2. Optional: Tales from Oz Volume 1. These are the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow and Toto stories. A simple route is to read them after Oz #1–6, rather than interrupting the first adventure. 3. Continue the Oz branch later with Warlord of Oz #1–6, then Reign of the Witch Queen #1–6. Warlord comes before Reign. [Oz series and collections](https://t.co/0Ggo60LFOR) The Jungle Book is another optional branch: #1–5 → Last of the Species #1–5. Fall of the Wild #1–5 is its later continuation. Sleepy Hollow #1–4 can be read as its own miniseries. Wonderland remains a parallel route. The sequence for this period is Alice in Wonderland #1–6 → Call of Wonderland #1–4 → Wonderland Annual 2012 → Wonderland #1–10 → Madness of Wonderland #1–4. There is no need to interrupt that sequence for every issue of GFT. The later Wonderland stories belong on their own reading path, not a list of requirements for Unleashed. [Wonderland issue/collection order](https://t.co/uWZHnmdSBy) COLLECTED EDITIONS AND OPTIONAL EXTRAS • GFT Volumes 11, 12 and 13 duplicate #65–70, #71–75 and #76–81. Volume 14 contains #82–84 AND #86–87. Stop that trade after #84 until Unleashed is finished; it does not supply #85. [Volume 11](https://t.co/5wD3EFaCqg), [Volume 14 contents](https://t.co/VxHqB5bJcS) • Myths & Legends trades do not follow a simple consecutive split. Volume 3 has #12–15, Volume 4 has #18–21, and Volume 5 has #16–17 plus #22–25. Volume 3 also reprints the older GFT #13–14. Use the issue headings if following the order above; those reprints are not new chapters. [Volume 4 record](https://t.co/rr1RkygmLF), [Volume 5 contents](https://t.co/Ay9uiKmba9) • Grimm Universe #5 and the 2013 Annual are Unleashed parts 4 and 3. Hold both for that event. • The 2012 Halloween and Holiday specials, plus the 2013 Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day specials, are optional story extras. A practical placement is Halloween 2012 before the #76–81 block, Holiday 2012 after Grimm Universe #1–4, then Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day after GFT #84 and before Godstorm. Save the 2013 Wounded Warriors, Halloween and Holiday stories for the post-Unleashed period. [Placement reference](https://t.co/lCCc6xDb1u) • Art books and extracted variant covers are optional visual extras. Some cosplay and swimsuit editions also have short stories, so do not assume those titles are always cover galleries.
