Heat Wave Reading Order

This reading order is designed to give a timeline of major storylines featuring Heat Wave (Mick Rory) throughout DC Comics. It may not encompass every one of his appearances but is an outline of the major ones and the stories that affect them.

The continuity details relating to each specific storyline are explained in the “Review” of each storyline. Every “Review” link will provide a detailed continuity breakdown of that story and will explain any reference the story makes to other aspects of the DC Universe. All of this can be found under the “Continuity” section of each link.

New 52

With the start of the New 52, the DC Universe was reset. Heat Wave is introduced as a member of the Rogues (Reading Order) and an antagonist for the Flash. In this role, it is clear some of Heat Wave’s pre-New 52 history is preserved but no specific events are referenced.

Heat Wave was reintroduced through The Flash alongside the rest of the Rogues. His appearances in this era are almost exclusively tied to his role as a member of this team.

Flash issues are from the Vol. 5 series.

Notes

1. This issue only has a brief appearance from Heat Wave and the Rogues (Reading Order). However, it shows what they did at the conclusion of their previous arc.
