Oof, all of that certainly seems like a complicated mess of continuity. Still, I find the advice on the reading order for those you listed helpful.

So that I can conceptualize it, would you say that I could consider the stories featuring Jason after Batman #400 / DC #566 and before Batman #408 / DC #579 as effectively using Earth-One Jason Todd? I believe I understand the stories themselves have to be in New Earth, but in terms of characterization, it is almost as if Earth-One's JT rolled over into NE for a little while before his reboot in Batman #408?

I have yet to read much, since I am assembling this list so that I can buy the issues later, but from what I read, some of the issues in this "in-between" period of Jason continuity seem to have Jason with the same upbeat personality he had in the Earth-One stories I have read of him. So if I can treat those in-between stories as E-O Jason, I think I can conceptualize that in my brain.

Regarding your offer to provide a detailed reading order for a little bit after what you have already sent me, I would welcome it.

So far, my rough outline looks for the timespan looks like thus: ''[in-between continuity] + Batman Vol 1 401 + Detective Comics Vol 1 568 + Batman Vol 1 402-403 + Detective Comics Vol 1 569-574 + Legends Vol 1 2-3, 5-6: Robin (Jason) helps out during the Legends event. + New Teen Titans Vol 2 26-31: Robin rejoins the NTT to help them on one last mission to rescue Nightwing and Raven from Brother Blood, and Jason thanks the team and leaves in issue #31. - Tales of the Teen Titans Vol 1 86-91: These issues reprints NTTv2 #26-31. [New Earth] + Batman Vol 1 408-413 + Batman Annual Vol 1 11 + Detective Comics Vol 1 579-582 + Batman Vol 1 415-420 + Batman Vol 1 422 + Batman Vol 1 424-428: “A Death in the Family” + New Titans Vol 1 55: Dick Grayson learns of Jason’s death and begins mourning him. Dick feels partially responsible since he is the one who gave Jason the Robin uniform and gave Jason his blessing to be Robin. Dick goes to Bruce to discuss Jason, but the two grieving heroes end up at each other’s throats. + Secret Origins Annual Vol 2 3: The NE history of the Teen Titans is relayed, and Jason is included in it, showing that his tenure as a Titan remained intact after CoIE. + Batman Vol 1 436-439: In this story, “Batman: Year Three,” Batman is trying to deal with Jason’s death, and Nightwing helps. Jason appears in flashbacks in issues #438-439, but he is not shown at all in #436-437, although all four issues deal with him, so the story may be significant for Jason readers.''

If you have any insights as to how you would rearrange some of these entries, I welcome it. Also, if there is anything that needs added, I welcome that advice as well.
