Wildstorm Reading/Checklist

So, when I started preparing for our YouTube show, I had to research and catalog every Wildstorm appearance so I could have them ready for the videos. We have Suggested Reading here at the site but they’re not complete. I’m sorry to say I don’t have time to make this checklist look nicer but as far as I know, with the old Wildstorm stuff, it should be complete (feel free to email me if I missed something wildstormaddiction@gmail.com.) And if you need to know about variants, www.mycomicshop.com is a good resource.
