She's as cute as a button and I've loved her since I first encountered her in Impulse. I was so delighted she went mainstream with the Titans, even though I didn't follow the series.
So, obviously, since I didn't follow the book, I was just wondering what the character was up to these days and any great back-issues of the Titans or other books I might delve into to find some nice Jesse(Jessie?) Quick appearances.

Probably not. Especially the "I'm sleeping with my mum's boyfriend" crap.

Oh my.

Jesse (not Jessie) debuted in the Justice Society of America series set before Zero Hour. The series didn't last long so we didn't get to see near enough of her (but there is great art!).
She was in a couple of issues of Justice League Quarterly as part of the new Conglomerate, along with Nuklon. (one of my faves!)
She's had some good appearances in the Flash. (another goodie!)
I wanted to like the Titans series that followed the Titans/JLA xover, but it sucked.
Currently, a non-powered Jesse Chambers is part of the supporting cast of JSA. It looks like she may become romantically involved with Rick Tyler (the Hourman's legacy), if he ever recovers from the injuries he suffered during Black Reign. Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Might I mention that I *still* like Jenni Quick as a codename for a certain 31st Century speedster!
Posted by Jesse Future on :
As do I, EDE. Hokey as it sounds, should Jenni ever ditch XS I'd rather she take something like that up over the Flash. She's still so young in my mind for that title.
Thanks for the rundown, Miss T. Doesn't sound like there are too many goodies out there.

Jesse Quick should name her first born child "Nestle"!

Who was Jesse? The offspring of Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle?
Posted by Caliente on :
Yeppers. She was going supposed to be next in line for the Flash mantle, once upon a time, but then Bart came into the picture and, well... the rest is history!
Posted by legionadventureman on :
You'd think after 50 years (yep, the silver-age FLASH is a golden-oldie this year) the family tree might have needed a little light pruning... Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
When Johnny Quick died, I almost went down to the DC offices and went all Jim Braddock on the editors there, so I'm not sure if that's such a good idea LAM!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Johnny Quick, along with Aquaman and Green Arrow, was one of Mort Weisinger's creations! I believe he was actually published up until about two years before the debut of Barry Allen!
Which makes one wonder what would have happened had Johnny continued to be published...
Posted by legionadventureman on :
I heard you had a very dark side, Cobie ...But really my comment was in view that it seems every speedster in the DC Universe has a family connection or association with the Allens. The entire comics line needs an overhaul - particularly to explain Iris's true origin(is she/will she be born in the future), where does Don and Dawn Allen fit in currently (if they do), what's to become of Bart and Jenni and so forth. Hopefully, the new series will help tidy up all those annoying loose ends. I didnt mean any harm.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Aw, I know
I also hope the new series addresses the long history of the Speedsters!
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
I miss Jesse. Her time with the Titans really had it's ups (deputy leader) and downs (ugh). Here's hoping she gets something out of 52.
Posted by Stratum on :
Jesse was cool. She should have been an Infinitor....though with the way she was treated in Titans, she may as well had been.
Johnny Quick, OTOH, should have never died (or gone to the Speed Force). To this day I still love the premise and more importantly, his costume.
How many metas actually run around in muscle shirts anyway?

Not enough!
Johnny's costume is one of the only short-sleeved costumes I can think of. It's usually either long sleeves or no sleeves. Johnny was really cool.
As for Jesse, it would really be great if her powers were restored and she became active in the JSA or a related group.
Someone brought up the spelling of her name. "Jesse" is usually the male name; the feminine is usually "Jessie", being short for Jessica, but they didn't ask me when they came up with her name. That kind of thing used to bother me a lot.

I miss Jesse too, but not with the Titans actually. I never really saw her as a "match" there. She belongs in the JSA. Period. Exclamation point!
