Names I’ve perused their recommended reading (nb. only pre-New 52:
- Hawkman
- Starman
- Aquaman
- Still need to peruse this properly, incl. comments: http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2011/11/27/the-greatest-aquaman-stories-ever-told/ plus the further reading section of http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Aquaman_Recommended_Reading
- JLA – but only really up until the end of the 90’s. For 2000+ will need to re-peruse.
- Flash – Based on DCwiki Recommendations.Not incl. Terminal Velocity (re. Zero Hour); The Road to Flashpoint; Flashpoint; Final Crisis Rouges Revenge
- Blue Beetle – the only (early) must read is JLI, then less important is JLA, and BB vol 5,6, then the I Can’t Believe + sequel. Also, Countdown to/Infinite Crisis are recommended. And the 52 series.
Names I’m considering perusing:
- Batman
- Booster Gold
- Phantom Stranger
- Swamp Thing
