hi!! i was wondering if you had a list of courtney whitmore comic recs?? because the tv show inspired me to read more about the character and based on stuff you've said, not all of it is great?
hi hello !!! i have a comic recs tag here but it’s really not as comprehensive and linear as i’d like it to be so BEHOLD
ELEANOR’S FULL LINEAR COURTNEY WHITMORE COMIC GUIDE (the dates are more in here for my personal reference while writing this; but internal character chronology differs from actual release chronology; this is just the order that i personally recommend for better comprehension!! i’ve left minor cameos out; you don’t have to read ALL of these, these are just my recommendations that i like; starred issues are bare minimums to her core storyline)
stars & s.t.r.i.p.e. #0-13 [jul 1999-sep 1999]* jsa #1-4 [aug 1999-nov 1999]* stars & s.t.r.i.p.e. #14 [sept 2000]* impulse #61 [jun 2000] (not essential but its just,, so good read it) jsa #6-9 [jan 2000-apr 2000]* young justice: sins of youth #1 [may 2000] sins of youth: starwoman & the jsa jr [may 2000] young justice: sins of youth #2 [may 2000] jsa #11-25 (#11, 13-21)* [jun 2000-aug 2001] starman #80 [aug 2001]* jsa #26-30 (#26, 27, 29)* [sept 2001-jan 2002] green arrow vol. 3 #12 & 13 [march 2002 & may 2002] jsa #31-32, 34-35, 37 (#32)* [feb 2002-aug 2002] jla/jsa: secret files #1 [jan 2003] jla/jsa: virtue & vice [cover date feb 2003] jsa #39-41, 44 (#41)* [oct 2002-mar 2003] jsa: all stars #1, 4, 8 [july 2003-feb 2004] jsa #45-55 (#45-51 pod arc)* (#54, 55)* [apr 2003-feb 2004]  black reign arc (non-essential, but google for reading order if u want) jsa #59-77 [may 2004-nov 2005] jsa: classified #1, 5-7 [sept 2005-mar 2006] jsa #78-80 [dec 2005-feb 2006] JSA #81 [mar 2006] ****** (one comic to sum up courtney!! READ THIS) justice society of america #1-33 (#1-7, #9, #12-15, #23-25, 26**, 29-33)* [feb 2007-jan 2010] jsa vs kobra #1-8 [aug 2009-jan 2010] (kind of happens concurrently alongside the last few issues of 2007′s jsa) justice society of america: 80 page giant [jan 2010] jsa: all-stars #1-18 [feb 2010-feb 2011]* (writers try to pair courtney w albert rothstein tho it’s gross gross awful) batgirl vol. 3 #23 [sept 2011] (team up!) justice society of america #51-54 [jul 2011-oct 2011]
in terms of new-52 stuff, she’s in justice league of america vol. 3 but i only really recommend #8-14. after that she’s in justice league united but i don’t even recommend that. i don’t really regard new-52 as like,,, real lmao it doesn’t exist but if u just want a nice courtney story with actual good writing, justice league of america #8-14 is the way to go
anyway i hope this is helpful !!!! love u thank u for finally making me do this lmao i’ve been wanting to actually write it out for a while
