Green Lanterns reading list

I decided to make a masterpost about all my children: Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. The following reading list only includes the stuff I’ve read, which is good to get to know Green Lantern mythos, these characters, villains and the other corps to a high level. But I also included links to some reading lists made by other people (which are very good and very complete) for each character, in case anyone wants to go deeper.

Everything under the cut, since it is a very (very) long list. Enjoy!!

first of all i just wanted to say that you're super cute and i really love your blog ♥ i also have a little question: how did you get into dc/marvel comics? i want to start reading them, but i just don't know where to start and i hoped that maybe you could help me a little? (sorry for my english)

Hi lovely, i’m sorry for the late reply! Here are some things I thought were useful, although I am not an expert so if there is anything missing or wrong, anyone can add on to this or message me :) When it comes to actual comic books, I know a whole lot more about DC than I do Marvel.

DC COMICS

The hardest part about reading comics is probably the starting part, because it can be an indecisive process, especially when you don’t know any characters or story lines. I suggest starting with the Rebirth series, which is pretty much a refocusing of everything in the DC Universe, because it is began in mid-2016 and is currently being released, so it will be much easier to jump into! If not there is also the New 52 series, which is the relaunch they had in 2011, prior to Rebirth. Also, some of the Pre New 52 comics are really good too like Green Arrow and Black Canary and of course your Batman and Detective Comics etc.

WHERE TO START:

Start By Finding A Character You Like

This is probably the easiest way to get started, at least it was for me. Before even reading a comic I loved Harley Quinn, so when i decided to start reading the comics, I chose to follow her story line first. I found out that her first appearance in The New 52 was in issue #1 of the Suicide Squad comic, so I started there.

EXPLORE CHARACTERS (AND THEIR FIRST APPEARANCES):

EXPLORE CHARACTERS IN A COMPACT A-Z FACT BOOK:

Starting At Issue #1?

Whilst starting at issue #1 in whatever series you choose can be beneficial in that you won’t have much missing information, it isn’t 100% necessary. With comics, you can start with any issue, and eventually after reading a few, you will get the hang of deciphering which unknown information was in previous issues (which i always just research on wikipedia if necessary) and which information will be given to you in future issues.

HOWEVER

with DC Rebirth, start with DC Rebirth #1 (http://www.dccomics.com/comics/dc-universe-rebirth-2016/dc-universe-rebirth-1) and then you should start with the Rebirth #1 comic for each title (e.g. Flash Rebirth 1) before starting with the actual #1 of the title (e.g. The Flash #1).

with the New 52, you can start with the Flashpoint (http://www.dccomics.com/graphic-novels/flashpoint) comics, which explains how the New 52 timeline reset came to be.

Chronological Order

If you are really committed, and want to read an entire comic launch (e.g. the New 52, Rebirth) in order of when they were published, you can use this handy webpage, which lists all the DC issues that were released each week (start at 08/31/2011 for New 52 and 05/25/2016 for Rebirth).

MY RECOMMENDED CHARACTERS:

Harley Quinn (Harleen Quinzel)

A former psychiatrist turned mentally insane supervillain. Harley Quinn has some of the best character depth in the DC Universe, as a survivor of great physical and mental abuse by her “lover”, the Joker. With Harley, you’ll get great action/fighting, amazing humour and even better character development. She is also one of the canonically LGBT+ comic characters, with a fluid sexuality (unknown as strictly bi, pan etc.) and polyamorous tendencies, as represented by her relationships with Poison Ivy and Mason. She is an unconventional symbol of hope, as she undergoes a great journey of self-discovery and independence, whilst continuing to demonstrate homicidal and psychotic behaviour.

Primarily Featured in ‘Suicide Squad’ and ‘Harley Quinn’ comics

For your life to be changed, read up on the Harley and Poison Ivy romance here.

HARLEY QUINN: PSYCHOLOGY, DOMESTIC ABUSE AND CHARACTER GROWTH

Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance) & Green Arrow (Oliver Queen)

So I put these two together because there are things I want to say about them as a pairing, as well as individually. Dinah and Oliver as a pairing (known as Green Canary) are without a doubt one of the greatest comic romantic pairings. Individually and as a couple, they are definitely near the top of my favourites list (and by that I mean they are literally in second place after Harley and Ivy). However to shit on my life, in the New 52, the Green Arrow storyline follows more closely to the likes of the TV Show Arrow, in which Ollie and Dinah no longer have a romantic history (what the fuck), and instead Oliver is involved in a team up with characters John Diggle and Felicity Smoak (who is sorta the replacement Oracle… which we’ll discuss in a second). Being completely biased here, i’ll say that the biggest mistake of the New 52 was not continuing the romance between Dinah and Ollie, as well as the friendship between Oliver and Hal Jordan (Green Lantern). LUCKILY, in DC Rebirth’s ‘Green Arrow’, Green Canary is back, with a reset of the timeline bringing us a completely fresh “first meeting” of Dinah and Ollie, and a whole lot of future potential.

Read about Dinah

Read about Oliver

Other awesome characters include Barbara Gordon (Batgirl), Diana Prince (Wonder Woman), Tatsu Yamashiro (Katana), Helena Bertinella (Huntress), Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy), Dick Grayson (Nightwing)

Do you know of any GL reading lists?

I know some:

Hal Jordan reading list

Kyle Rayner reading list (+ other one)

Guy Gardner reading list

John Stewart reading list

I didn’t find any for Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz, but check Green Lanterns Rebirth, also, for Simon, Green Lantern V5 (New 52, 1-20) and for Jessica, Justice League: The Darkseid War.

And my personal recommendation, if you are a beginner, I would recommend you to read Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) by Geoff Johns, and Green Lantern Corps by Geoff Johns, Peter J Tomasi and others, since GLC includes Guy, Kyle and John and it is a very cool run. These two runs are gonna allow you to know them very well. And then, if you want to continue, you can check those reading list.

Also, I highly recommend you the present run Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. It’s better if you know already the characters, but it is also a good start. I recommended you Geoff Johns’s run first because is the most iconic one and it is a must read, but yeah, Hal Jordan and the GLC is also a good introduction to the characters.

If you have any other question, or any recs more specific, please let me know, I will be happy to help!

#ask #blackcanarydinah #dc masterpost #i've been thinking about doing a guide to read green lantern #i really want to now lmao #comic rec

YES omg i am perfectly fine breaking the law, i will take any and all recs you will give me!!!! :^D ur the literal best, thank you so so so much!!!!!!!

Okay just to start off that comics are a confusing mess and when I started reading DC I picked what sounded good and went from there, with no particular order in mind. It’s a little confusing at first, but if you know who most people are then you should be fine. Good luck, my dude.

I was looking for a masterpost/where to start about Midnighter, and I didn’t find one (we, as a fandom, have failed, a minute of silence) so, I decided to make one. On this list are the comics I have already read, the ones I’m reading and those I am planning to read, so maybe it’s not perfect, but I think it is a good start!

If you think I missed some comics you think they should be in this list, let me know, I’ll add it :)

So, a few weeks ago I made a list of Batman (and Batfam) comics I wanted to read (and the ones I’ve already read). It’s in chronological order by story line instead of in publishing order, because I thought it makes more sense. The point is, I wanted to share it since maybe some people are interested in Batman and the Batfam, but they doesn’t know where to start.

I have to say there are A LOT of comics, but I’m gonna bold the ones I consider more important / I love the most. If you think I miss some comics you think they should be in this list, let me know, I’ll add it :)

From Year One (1988) to Rebirth (2016). (*) → Batfam titles I included in this list. Anyway, they have a lot of appareances in most Batman comics. Also, I I’ve included a lot of masterpost for all of them at the end of the post)

Harley and Ivy Masterpost

okay! well i’ve gotten this question a few times in the last few days, so I thought I’d just make a general masterpost of comics that have harley/ivy in them (that I know of). I’m sure I’ll miss stuff, so if anyone wants to add extras, or resources feel free! (also if I made a mistake just hmu and i’ll fix it)

Also, i’m just going to list anything that has harley/ivy in it bc 9.99/10 they’re interactions are p gay. there are a lot of differences in opinion on what’s good and not good, etc. - so i’m just gonna list everything. The main segments are dc animated universe, pre 52, and new 52 - they are (for the most part) have separate canon, and the characterizations tend to differ. And then there are other segments too, which I’ll add.

*reminder that harley is an abuse victim, so some content may be triggering*

DC animated universe:

Batman the animated series:

"Harley and Ivy” episode 47 (very important bc it’s the first meeting between them in dc animated universe)
