Ravager (Rose Wilson) Reading Order

New 52

With the beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe’s continuity was reset. Rose Wilson appears as an entirely new character in the first few issues of the Superboy series. She then goes on to have an even larger role in the Ravagers series.

About halfway through Rose Wilson’s New 52 journey, an unexplained continuity shift takes place that effectively reboots Rose’s character once again. Her New 52 appearances prior to this point are no longer mentioned and are seemingly erased from history. Her appearances from this point onward are confined to the Deathstroke series, which delves into her relationship with her father, Deathstroke (Reading Order). This point is marked on this Reading Order.

Notes
  1. Rose Wilson does not have a large role in this storyline. However, it explains what happened to her after the conclusion of the Ravagers series.

Rebirth

For Rose Wilson, the transition from the New 52 to the Rebirth era effectively undoes all of her New 52 appearances. However, it brings back elements of her pre-New 52 history. This includes her association with Nightwing and some elements of her relationship with her father, Deathstroke (Reading Order).

Rose's appearances in this era are heavily tied to the Deathstroke series. Over the course of this comic, her new status quo is established, her relationships with the rest of her family are explained, and her adventures are detailed.
