"Superman: Truth" Reading Order

I binge-read Superman:Truth today, but a reading order was nowhere to be found on the internet. So, I checked out first and last pages of each issue, and here's the reading order for anyone interested:
  1. Superman #41-44
  2. Action Comics #41-44
  3. Batman/Superman #21-24
  4. Superman/Wonder Woman #18-21

I have just three things to say about this storyline:
First, the Batman/Superman story arc is taking place before the Superman/Wonder Woman one. You can tell this at least one time during Batman/Superman, and at the final pages of both stories. Nevertheless, they are interchangeable in the reading order.
Second, there was a prologue to the Superman: Truth storyline in Divergence #1. Because Superman #41-44 acts as a prequel/flashback, you could either read the prologue either between Superman and Action Comics, or at the beginning. But I wouldn't recommend reading the whole Superman story arc after Action Comics.
Last, make sure you read Superman/Wonder Woman. There is a confrontation between Superman and Steve Trevor about superheroes not wearing masks. Heroes with public identities are becoming more and more popular since the '90s, but a war between single and dual identities is yet to come. This could be the start of it.
