Superman: New Krypton trade reading order

Blink and you might've missed it, but over the weekend DC Comics had War of the Supermen as a Comixology new release again, with a note that the whole eight-plus-issue Superman: New Krypton saga would be $0.99 for a few days, much like they did with Batman #600-700 some months ago. Either I misunderstood or this didn't happen, because War of the Supermen left the digital new release list shortly thereafter. [Edit: Sale later happened March 4-5, 2011.]

At the back of the digital War of the Supermen #0, however, is a boffo checklist of all the Superman: New Krypton stories, organized in single issue reading order. For our trade reading friends out there, we now present that list translated into the definitive reading order for hardcover and trade paperback -- if you still haven't picked up the Superman: New Krypton books, here's how to do it.
