Shade the Changing (Loma Shade) Reading Order

This reading order is designed to give an outline of major storylines featuring Shade the Changing Girl (Loma Shade) throughout DC Comics. It does not encompass every one of her appearances, but is an outline of the major ones and the stories that affect them.

The continuity details relating to each specific storyline are explained in the “Review” of each storyline. Every “Review” link will provide a detailed continuity breakdown of that story and will explain any reference the story makes to other aspects of the DC Universe. All of this can be found under the “Continuity” section of each link.

Rebirth

Loma Shade was introduced during the Rebirth era of DC Comics through their Young Animal imprint. Almost all of Shade’s initial appearances were confined to the Shade the Changing Girl series until the Milk Wars (Reading Order) crossover event. At this point, the Shade’s timeline was advanced a few years and her solo comic was relaunched as Shade the Changing Woman in order to reflect these changes.

As of now, this Reading Order comprises the entirety of Shade’s story. Her character may be brought back at some point in the future but it is unclear when/if this will happen.
