Regular reader of SSG may have noticed I didn't publish a new comic Pull List for this week or the last, these middle weeks of November. While one was an unusually short week of comic pulls for me personally, and the other was surely worthy, the whole world was a bit taken by the happenings of American politics, for the past few weeks or so. Instead, to distract from the wishy-washy news cycle, I worked on my Madelyne Pryor complete appearance reading order! Since her appearances are much fewer in numbers than that of Illyana Rasputin's Magik, who I did something similar on before, I was able to actually read all the issues on the list. This ended up with me adding brief summaries of the relevant events of each issue, to give context for anyone looking to learn more about the Goblin Queen. I've edited the notes I took while reading as much as possible, but please forgive any discrepancies or errors I might have missed. My over-eager enthusiasm for Madelyne Pryor is matched by my desire to get more people to fall in love with her character, too. Additionally, while most issues summarize just Maddie's role, a few include more in-depth explanation of the whole issue's events. Continue Reading for the reading order and history of Madelyne Pryor!

Before we get too far along, I need to point out that in your comic reading journey, you will no doubt come across other readers who claim you MUST read one particular series or another, or how this or that comic is the greatest of all time, but be warned, these are all just opinions. Never feel obligated to read a story that doesn't sound interesting to you. The only thing you need to do is not be intimidated or afraid of digging in!
If you don't know what to read, you might want to start by thinking of what kinds of stories you are usually interested in: do you like Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, or Adventure? Do you like stories that explore a great mystery, shed light on a historical period from a different perspective, or bring a character to face their dark past?
