Index to Posts: DC Comics Space Heroes

A thing I do a lot is work my way through some kind of collection of superhero comics in publication order. These days I am fairly methodical about it, and I chronicle the process in detail. Witness the final post in my Justice Society sequence, for example.

But in this blog's early days, I was much less consistent about writing up comics I read as single issues, and much less methodical about cross-linking them. So, even though I read a whole bunch of comics about DC Comics's "space heroes" (broadly defined as those characters from or in space who aren't Green Lanterns), I don't have any master reference list for them.

So here is my best effort to reconstruct one for the "space heroes" stories I chronicled on this blog:

1. Invasion! (1988)
2. L.E.G.I.O.N. (1989-94)
3. The Darkstars (1992-96) [reading order]
4. Adam Strange: The Man of Two Worlds (1990)
5. R.E.B.E.L.S. (1994-96)
6. Bob the Galactic Bum: The Piker (1995)
7. Weird Worlds vol. 2 (2011)
8. Adam Strange: Planet Heist (2004-05)
9. Omega Men vol. 2 (2005-06)
10. My Greatest Adventure vol. 2 (2011-12)
11. R.E.B.E.L.S.: The Coming of Starro (2009)
12. R.E.B.E.L.S.: Strange Companions (2009)
13. R.E.B.E.L.S.: The Son and the Stars (2010)
14. R.E.B.E.L.S.: Sons of Brainiac (2010)
15. R.E.B.E.L.S. #21-28 (2010-11)
16. IronWolf (1973-74)
17. DC Super-Stars of Space (1976)
18. Star Hunters (1977-78)
19. Starfire vol. 1 (1976-77)
20. Time Warp vol. 1 (1979-80)
21. Threshold: The Hunted (2013)
22. The Prehistory of the Omega Men (1981-83)
23. Spanner's Galaxy (1984-85)
    
24. The Omega Men: The End Is Here (2015-16)
    
25. Sun Devils (1984-85)
26. Twilight (1990-91)
27. Ironwolf: Fires of the Revolution (1992)
28. Hawkworld vol. 1 (1989)
29. Hawkworld vol. 2 (1990-93)
30. Hawkman vol. 3 #1-6 & 19 / Annuals #1-2 (1993-95)
31. Cosmic Odyssey (1988)
32. Green Lantern: Mosaic (1991)
33. Green Lantern: Mosaic (1992-93)

You'll see that I roughly work my way forward chronologically from Invasion! to R.E.B.E.L.S., with some other stuff thrown in, and then I circle back to IronWolf and work my way forward again, picking up all the stuff I'd missed the first time around until ending with Green Lantern: Mosaic.

But also of interest is the order I would have read everything in, had I read everything in order... and had I reviewed everything on this blog, which I didn't. It's a sequence that rivals my JSA one... perhaps someday, I will do it in order!

6. Green Lantern vs. Eclipso (1981)
7. The Prehistory of the Omega Men (1981-83)
