Dove Reading Order/Timeline

This reading order is designed to give a timeline of major storylines featuring Dove (Dawn Granger) throughout DC Comics. It does not encompass every one of her appearances, but is a timeline 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 beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe’s continuity was restarted. Dawn started as a one of the main characters in the Hawk and Dove series. She appeared in this series until it was cancelled, at which point she disappeared from DC Comics until the Titans Hunt series. This timeline follows Dawn through her brief appearances in this era of DC Comics.

Dove’s timeline is directly tied to her partner Hawk’s timeline. You can see Hawk’s timeline right here.

Notes
  1. Dove's appearance in this series mostly revolves around her status as Deadman's girlfriend. Her appearances here are minor though and somewhat contradicted by the events of Hawk and Dove #1-5. The major contradictory moments are Justice League Dark #4 and Hawk and Dove #5, which is why they are placed at the same point on our timeline.
  2. Only the "Balance of Power" story from this issue is relevant to Dove's timeline.
