Long shot reading order request (Young Justice/Superboy/Impulse/Robin related)

[brandnewfan]

I've tried for a while to find a Young Justice reading order that incorporates all issues of the character's solo books (Impulse, Superboy, etc).

Has anyone ever found anything similar to that?

[The Lucky One]

I don’t have anything quite like that, no. Best I could do is give you is my YJ reading order, including pre-YJ team-ups between the characters, and with YJ-related appearances in their solo books. I can’t swear that it’s complete, but I’ll try to type it up and post it later.

[The Lucky One]

I don’t claim this is exhaustive, it’s just the issues of which I’m aware:

WF3: World’s Finest Three 1-2 (First Robin/Superboy)
Robin Plus Impulse 1 (First Robin/Impulse)
Superboy and the Ravers 7 (First Superboy/Impulse)
Impulse 28 (First appearance Arrowette)
Legion of Super-Heroes 99-100 (First Robin/Superboy/Impulse)
Unlimited Access 3-4 (Robin/Superboy/Impulse/Wonder Girl/Captain Marvel Jr) (And Robin faceplants teen Cyclops)
Teen Titans 17 (Robin/Superboy/Impulse/Spoiler/Captain Marvel Jr)
Young Justice: The Secret 1
JLA: World Without Grown-Ups 1-2
Impulse 41 (Second appearance of Arrowette)
Young Justice 1-2
Young Justice 1,000,000
DC One Million 80-Page Giant (1,000,000-era team only)
Impulse 44 (Halloween issue, leads directly into…)
Young Justice 3
Secret Origins 80-Page Giant 1
Young Justice 4
Young Justice Secret Files & Origins 1
Young Justice 5-6
JLA/The Titans 1-3 (YJ presence minimal, but they cameo as a team in the final issue)
Young Justice 7-8
Young Justice 80-Page Giant 1
Young Justice 9-10

[Around this point, we have to fit in numerous guest appearances. Before issues 4-6, the girls haven’t joined the team yet; after issue 10, Red Tornado is busy/away for several issues; after issue 15, the lineup changes slightly. So guest appearances depicting the full team have to fall in this general zone, sometimes a bit awkwardly.]
