Do U Have A Recs List For Ppl Wanting To Know More About Jade? Pls And Thx

Do u have a recs list for ppl wanting to know more about Jade? Pls and thx ❤❤

omg of course! happy to know that you want to learn more about her :) there will be some more recs under the cut, but imho, these are the absolute essentials:

new teen titans annual #2. her first appearance! honestly, a really fun way to get introduced to her. pretty low stakes.

the new teen titans (1984) #20-21. arguably the most important. it gives you the backstory on jade & roy's relationship, displays both her sense of morality and of justice, introduction to the "jade" vs. "cheshire" dichotomy, and we meet lian!

action comics (1938) the cheshire contract #613-618. another big story. this is how lian ends up in roy's custody.

batman plus arsenal (1997) #1. this isn't told from jade's pov but it is about her. really, it shows the lengths she's willing to go to save and protect lian.

the titans (1999) #21-22, #27, & #30. i have so many mixed feelings about this run which is in large part due to what it deals with, but i think it does a nice job of trying to humanize her despite dealing with qurac. it shows how the worlds of "jade" and "cheshire" are colliding now and give us a glimpse into how she's dealing with that.

now, before i even add this, let me preface this by saying that i don't think this run is particularly good. it is, however, the only story where we actually get jade's inner dialogue, which is extremely important because this takes place after lian's death. please bear in mind that she is grappling with depression and an immense amount of grief to the point that she is suicidal. the run is titans (2008) #24-38.

other stories that you can check out for fun: booster gold (1985) #16-17, wonder woman (1986) #94-95, batman: secret files (2018) #3, tales of the new teen titans (1983) #51-52. her appearances in birds of prey (1999) are fun reads for the most part, but they're more entertaining rather than necessary to understanding who jade is as a character. on top of that, i'd argue that dixon does a better job writing her than simone does, which says a lot (if you're familiar w/ either) and it doesn't say anything good. if you are interested, though, then the issues are #4-6, #28-30, and #63-67.

i would suggest staying away from any of her secret six appearances. like, i cannot emphasize enough how racist and misogynistic her writing is in that run. it is to jade what rhato is to roy in that it has contributed to some wildly misinformed takes.

kinda finished shadowbringers

*places a soft and blushy Barry out into the world*

my friend @thequiver once made a really good point about how most people know or know of snowbirds don't fly - the arc where ollie & roy fall out - out of context, in isolation, w/o equal knowledge of what the relationship was like before it, or how things went after. so, w her help and @capes-and-arrows', i put together [this] timeline, so that people can see the broad strokes for themselves, w/o having to read through decades of comics. it's still a work in progress, but the meat of it is all there, so i figured it's ready enough to post. if you'd like to include any other comics you think might be relevant - particularly from rebirth & the pre-crisis era - just shoot any of us an ask!

Who is Connor Hawke? - A Reading Guide

Connor Hawke is the son of Oliver Queen and Sandra "Moonday" Hawke. He is best known for his role as the Green Arrow, taking on the mantle upon his father's death and continuing as the Green Arrow after his resurrection. Connor was raised by his mother, and struggled in school due to being bullied for being mixed race (his mother is Black and Korean and his father is white). At around age thirteen Connor was able to talk his mother into letting him move to a Buddhist Ashram that his father had once stayed at, and there Connor entered the care of Master Jansen, learned martial arts and archery, and became a Buddhist monk. It was at the Ashram that Connor decided to continue the Green Arrow legacy. While serving as the Green Arrow, Connor teamed up with the Green Lantern Kyle Rayner and the Flash Wally West, Robin Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, and the Justice League.

While Connor is most known for his connection to the Arrow family, as this was what was focused on most heavily in Green Arrow Vol. 3- it is important to remember Connor has strong connections outside of the family as highlighted in Green Arrow Vol. 2! These characters include: Sandra "Moonday" Hawke, Nathan Hawke (Connor's "Gran"), Mastern Jansen, Eddie Fyers, Kyle Rayner, Wally West (and his wife Linda), Tim Drake, and Cassandra Cain!

As of June 2022, Connor has been confirmed as asexual, which solidifies his ace coding from both Green Arrow Vol. 2 and 3!
