Oh. Well, I suppose Shara was the one time we saw Fai and Kurogane fight our original Syaoran on purpose?

Flash (1959) #110/Born to Run in its place as it adds a lot more context from Wallys POV while 110 is more from Barrys

for Born to Run

Flash Vol. 2 #62-65

afterwards Wally has his own backup within the flash title you sorta see a bit of his school life and him doing things.. it falls short with unlike barry we see his personal life and his relationships with people wallys parents rarely show up in his earliest stories, theres no deep storytelling its moreso just some fun little slice of life thing)

Flash Vol. 1 #277 (appears in Iris' funeral)

Legends of the DC Universe #18 (Raven and Wally issue its very good)

But thats everything with Wally leading up to NTT where his characterization is overall changed and he is written as a douche mostly cause Wolfman and Perez didnt like the character nor wanted him in the run but DC editorial had them add him due to his popularity at the time.. but this is how you get a good sense of who his character was as Kid Flash he was nothing like he is potrayed in NTT he was a fun character and he grew.. so greatly after NTT he does show up in Trial of the Flash here are his issues but its best to read the entire storyline in whole

Flash Vol. 1 #343-345

he does show up in NTT again in Vol 2 in issue 2 all the way to issue 6 then Crisis happens and then his flash run begins!

BIRTHDAY CONFIRMED

LAVA LAMP GUY ALSO INEXPLICABLY HAS THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS SAKURA/NOT SAKURA/WHATEVER HER NAME IS

SO ALL THE SAKURA BIRTHDAYS ALSO WERE LAVA LAMP BIRTHDAYS

MEANING HE WAS 14 ON THE SAME DAY THAT THIS ALL HAPPENED

(And what a terrible birthday party)

OH AND THAT MEANS THAT WATANUKI AND LAVA LAMP GUY HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY ALSO, BOTH FROM WHEN THEY WERE THE SAME PERSON (AND SO BORN AS ONE PERSON ON THE SAME DAY) BUT ALSO BECAUSE WATANUKI CAME INTO EXISTENCE AS A SEPARATE PERSON ON THEIR BIRTHDAY

AND

WHEN SAKURA GAVE (CLONE) SYAORAN HER BIRTHDAY FOR HIM TO HAVE, SHE WAS ACCIDENTALLY GIVING HIM THE SAME BIRTHDAY THAT HIS ORIGINAL SYAORAN ALREADY HAD, AND (DEPENDING ON THE TIMING) MIGHT ALSO HAVE BEEN GIVING HIM THE CORRECT BIRTHDAY FOR WHEN HE WAS CLONED AS WELL

SO

The list of People who absolutely have the first of April as their birthday now includes: 

-Cardcaptor Sakura 

-Tsubasa Sakura (Original) (from chapter 1) 

-Tsubasa Sakura (Original) (from Lava Lamp’s backstory) (Who is not named Sakura)

-Tsubasa Sakura (Clone) (Or at least that is the birthday she remembers, so it counts)

-Lava Lamp Guy (Original Syaoran)

-Tsubasa Syaoran (Clone) (Both adopted birthday and real birthday)

-Watanuki (Real Birthday AND came-into-existence-day AND his name)

DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO ADMIT TO HAVING THE SAME BIRTHDAY WHILE WE’RE AT IT?

This is my Marvel Comics reading order. Since I wrote this one long before I wrote my DC one, it's a lot simpler and more compact. I mostly just stick to Marvel Masterworks here. I feel like I probably should change it, to update it to be more like the DC list I made, but frankly, I don't know how I could do that. The most I kind of want to do is add some modern humour comics. But the list as a whole feels pretty good. I definitely could stand to add more characters, but I don't know if i'm prepared to spend more time making long-winded, frivolous reading lists. sigh...

Who is....Ruth Aldine | Blindfold? A Reading Guide

Ruth Aldine in an X-Men affiliated mutant from Marvel comics first introduced in 2004. She was born with no eyes or open eye sockets and due to her mutant condition her father left her, her mother, and her older brother only a week after her birth. Spending her childhood tormented by her abusive older brother, Ruth would eventually find freedom and happiness only after her mother had died protecting her from her brother's attempt on her life. Now living with her aunt, Ruth would begin to teach herself to harness and control her extensive mutant powers, but her brother's execution would result in him stealing half of her powers and her being sent to the Xavier Institute, where she first received her codename, Blindfold.

Ruth is currently the girlfriend of Professor Xavier's son, David Haller, and does not have a corporeal form on Krakoa, instead living inside of David's head. David has however as of 3. May. 2023 blinked himself out of existence and Ruth's fate is unknown.

Ruth was born in North Carolina and it is implied that she is from the Appalachian region of the state!

Below the cut you'll find a mostly complete reading order for Ruth!

First Appearances

Ruth's first appearances are found in the lead-up to M-Day/Decimation and its immediate aftermath. It may be beneficial to read Astonishing X-Men (2004/Vol. 3) #1-6 for context before reading Ruth's first appearance if you would like a better understanding of the run.

Astonishing X-Men (2004) #7-8 New X-Men (2004) #23-24 X-Men (1991) #201-204 [A stories only] New X-Men (2004) #37-41 Astonishing X-Men (2004) #15-18

Divided We Stand, Manifest Destiny, and Utopia

In the wake of Messiah Complex Charles Xavier is presumed dead and X-Men are disbanded. There is no home for mutants, no trust and no purpose to live for. Scott Summers is at this time the leader of mutantkind...things are going about as well as you'd expect. This gets picked back up following Necrosha (explained below).

Young X-Men (2008) #1-6 X-Men: Manifest Destiny (2008) #3 [C Story] Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Exodus

Necrosha

Necrosha is a crossover event that deals with mutants being resurrected for the dark purposes of Selene Gallio (an old enemy of the X-Men, first appearing in New Mutants (1983) #9) who intends to use these resurrected mutants in her quest to become a goddess.

X-Necrosha (2009) #1 X-Force (2008) #21-22 X-Men: Legacy (2008) #231-233

Utopia Continued

The following issues are a continuation of Utopia!

Nation X (2010) #2 [C Story] X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back (2010) #1-3 <- this a 4 issue story so I would personally recommend reading #4 as well ;) X-Men: To Serve and Protect #3 X-Men: Legacy (2008) #244

Age of X (sort of)

The mutants are almost extinct, tortured by a strike force led by Colonel Graydon Creed. The first signs of the Age of X appeared in X-Men: Legacy #244; the events were removed from the Earth-616 mainstream continuity, with no memories of the alternate lives. If you've taken a look at my David Haller Reading List you'll see this event explained as "David’s desire to be loved forces him to grapple with reality," and as a story that "places David in a role where he has to choose between a false universe where he is considered a beloved hero and reality where he must choose to be a hero despite the fear others feel about him." Ruth's appearances here are still pretty connected to the X-Men: Legacy (2008) plotline we've been following now for a bit.

New Mutants (2009) #22, 24, 27

Curse of the Mutants

In what can only be described as the "oh shit we've run out of ideas" last resort of any creative company putting out too many crossover events in a short period of time..... the X-Office put out Curse of the Mutants. The arc centers on a human bomb exploding in San Francisco's Union Square, covering dozens in vampire-converting blood. It then becomes the mission of the X-Men to track down Dracula's son Xarus, now "Lord of the Vampires", even if that means enlisting vampire-hunter Blade. Yeah.... I don't know either.

X-Men (2010) #11

Schism and Regenesis

Schism follows the break-up of the X-Men at a moment of peak anti-mutant sentiment. Regenesis is the period of regrowth and reorganization following Schism.

X-Men: Schism (2011) #5 <- May be helpful to read #1-4 as well! X-Men: Regenesis (2011) #1 X-Men: Legacy (2008) #259, 261, 263

Avengers vs. X-Men

When the Phoenix Force approaches Earth, Hope Summers is assumed its next host. The X-Men and the Avengers are divided on how to handle the situation. The X-Men believe that the Phoenix Force will herald the rebirth of the Mutant Species, while the Avengers believe that it will bring an end to all life on Earth. This leads to a war between Marvel's two powerful superhero factions.

Avengers vs. X-Men (2012) #3

Legion: Son of X

This is where Ruth's path first crosses with the professor's son, David Haller, in any real meaningful way. It does however mold her story around his and start the descent of her story into being focused around David rather than Ruth.

X-Men: Legacy (2013) #1-24

Ruth has a handful of blink and you'll miss it appearances between Son of X and This is Forever but they aren't..... really important at all and don't really do anything to tell Ruth's story.

This is Forever

The X-Men are all presumed dead, but this isn't the case.

Uncanny X-Men (2019) #11

Legion of X and Before the Fall

Ruth Aldine is back from the dead.... and is now living inside of David Haller's head rather than having a body, and oh did we mention that she now pretty much has no motivations that don't revolve around David and is only seen when she can promote David?..... As a David fan, I am exhausted.

Legion of X (2022) #1-10 X-Men: Before the Fall- Sons of X (2023) #1

Reading list is current up until 6. November. 2023!
