Hello!! Are you able to list all of the comic appearances of each Rogue in chronological order? (Excluding elseworld comics if you want)
I'm so sorry. You can always skip this ask or take as much time as you need!
So this is an old Ask and it took a very long time to finish, but I've fulfilled it up to Flashpoint for the following characters:
Axel Lisa Roscoe Mark Roy Al Evan Owen Sam Mick James Len Hartley Digger
Tumblr originally refused to let me save/post most of the chronologies here (too long), so I went to the trouble of creating a WordPress site to host them in full. Imagine my frustration/joy when later Tumblr did allow me to post them here in full! 😵💫😆 I'm still leaving the WordPress site up because it was a lot of work.
The backbone for this project is the DCU Guide, but this was no simple copy and paste; the site's entries are missing a lot of issues and has some issues which shouldn't be there, so I had to go through every issue on the list and verify it should be there, and cross-reference it with my own comic library to get everything the DCG neglected to include. Then I had to ensure things were at least roughly in the correct order, because the DCG does have some quirky ordering…for example, Teen Titans: Cold Case is listed at the end of DCG chronologies when it quite explicitly takes place while James was alive and with the Rogues and Owen was alive but had left the Rogues.
Some issue placements are guesswork, but placed at a time when they roughly should fit, like Sam's appearance in Flash v2 #64 is placed during a time when Wally was still wearing his red Kid Flash costume, for instance. I can't really find good spots for Owen's appearances in Supergirl because they definitely took place while he was with the Outsiders but there wasn't an obvious spot for the Supergirl appearances, so I just winged it.
Digger has a lot of random-ish appearances that are tough to place due to his time with Suicide Squad, so he's got more issues which are categorized as 'chronology unknown'. And I decided to exclude the zombie Rogues' Black Lantern appearances, as it wasn't really them.
This is to say that I can't promise these lists are perfect, but I believe they're accurate. Happy reading!
