Etrigan is a pretty basic RR list. All my reading comes from using the appearances list on the Database, the harder part is locating the reading material.

The Demon Vol 2 and the second half of Vol 3 are collected in trade and probably digital. Everything else you’ll may find digitally or you’ll have to get individual comics like I did.

I really have to sleep so I’ll do a perfunctory list now and give it the N8 treatment later.

After Kirby the basic reading order is:

Swamp Thing Vol 2 #25-#27.

The Demon Vol 2.

Cosmic Odyssey.

The Demon: Action Comics Vol 1 #636-#641.

The Demon Vol 3.

Hitman Vol 1 (Ace of Killers) #15-#20

The Demon: Driven Out.

The stories between The Demon titles have pertinent information regarding the core titles. I didn’t read anything in order so I sought out these gaps in the storylines. I can give you interesting independent appearances as well, usually with Batman.

Avoid anything written by John Byrne. It’s all heinous; Blood of the Demon, Wonder Woman and one Action Comics story where Superman goes back in time to fight Morgaine le Fey. Pfft.

Thanks

Surprisingly, Batman: Mad Love features a good Etrigan story

The first volume of The Sandman features an Etrigan cameo

And Green Arrow: Quiver features Etrigan prominently

An Etrigan cameo? 😑

A most amusing cameo to boast, dear IceMoh

It was alright. The parts I read anyways

I’ve updated my previous post with the exact issues.

Other points of interest that you can read independently are mostly Batman related.

The Brave and the Bold Vol 1 #109 is Batman’s first encounter with Etrigan and Blood. As SforHope has discussed with me, the “Haneyverse” tends to do its own independent thing, hardly keeping continuity with mainstream Batman tales of the time. However, when mainstream Batman does encounter Etrigan and Blood they are well aware of each other, so I consider this issue to be canon in NE continuity. It helps that it is a decent story as well with a grim conclusion. Batman is out of his depths when confronted with unnatural forces, both f[r]iend and foe.

The second BatB encounter (#137) is unfortunately much sillier than its somber predecessor. The climax is ridiculous and illogical even by magically reasoning. However, though I haven’t confirmed it, I believe Matt Wagner esoterically references this issue in The Demon Vol 2.

But in steps Alan Grant with a three part story that evokes everything brilliant about BatB 109. Detective Comics Vol 1 #601-#603 is one of my all time favourite Etrigan tales. I have physical and digital copies of it. In fact, it must be included in the essential reading above, only I don’t know where to quite place it chronologically, only that it the story continues in The Demon Vol 3 #8. While you’re at it, try and read DC #616 as another helpful reference before The Demon Vol 3.

Now that I think of it, best read Detective Comics Vol 1 #482-#485 for a history lesson on the Eternity Book as well. It comes up in Vol 3 also. Baron Tyme was an interesting villain as well. I’m amazed he never made a return.

Batman: Demon is a one-shot where Batman ventures into Hell with Etrigan as his guide.

Batman Vol 1 #544-#546, known as “Major Arcana,” is a darkly fun escapade where Joker dabbles in the occult and summons Etrigan, making a demonic bargain.

A lesser appearance, but mini I think is worth reading anyway is Arkham Asylum: Living Hell. Etrigan makes a late entrance, but it’s worth it for Warren White.

Batman: The Dark Knight is another mini occurring right at the end of NE. This is one I have been meaning to read for sometime but keep putting it off. SforHope doesn’t have high opinions of it. You can ask him how much involvement Etrigan has.

That’s all the Batman down, but there are a few more titles worth noting.

Blue Devil Annual Vol 1 #1 features the one time assemblage of weirdos and supernatural misfits affectionately known as the “Spirit Squad.” It’s a fun story.

Another major supernatural team up occurs in Swamp Thing Vol 2 #49-#50. You may have heard of The Rising Darkness. An excellent mystical event penned by Moore.

Day of Judgement, while I’m not a big fan, is a extramundane curiosity which Etrigan instigates.

After reading The Demon Vol 3 you’re ready to read Lobo/The Demon: Helloween. It’s a one shot with the two frenemies saving themselves after trying to end the world. Also check out the very last two issues of Lobo Vol 2 (#63-#64) for more unholy shenanigans.

Action Comics Vol 1 #762 is a joyful Christmas tale where Superman encounters Etrigan posing as a shopping mall Santa. Good times.

And, no, I don’t read Prime Earth.

However, Batman: A Tragedy is an interesting alternate universe that merges the Batman and The Demon mythos into a neo-medieval world with some interesting aesthetics.
