See I kind of felt those focused more on Clark then Jon, not to mention I forgot the issue numbers for those specific moments.

If you or someone else wants to post those that’s fine, it’s not like I have exclusive control.

The Man of Steel miniseries for the age-up.

Next up Jessie Quick aka Liberty Belle



Justice Society, JSA, and Justice Society of America
Flash by Mark Waid
Titans by Devin Grayson
Flash Rebirth
Justice league of America
JSA All-Stars Back-ups
Williamson Flash return (Flash and Speed Metal)

Specifically Williamson's last arc, Finish Line.

The back-ups were called Liberty Belle and Hourman, I don't know if they ever released it as a separate TPB. Also, since she'd reverted to Jesse Quick in JLA, those back-ups come before it.

Yeah I suppose the miniseries where Jon went on his space adventure would be good to the list.

Oh yeah I guess the order for Jessie Quick is a bit reversed there. I’ll change it up a bit

Alright I did the Green Lantern Corps, I’m doing the Flash family now…and yeah I know I already did Wally West.

I’m starting with Jay Garrick, who is my favorite flash. Yes a lot of versions of characters I like come from the JSA.

Flash by Mark Waid and Williamson
The Life Story of the Flash by Mark Waid
Speed Metal by Joshua Williamson
