The Official Flash thread - Part 1

[Mystirious]

He's not under the (completely wrong) impression that Captain Cold somehow isn't a badass. He can do what he wants. He knows the truth.

Oh you

 

[HighFivingMF]

Best issue so far! I love what they're doing with this book. Some cameos and hints at things to come too!

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Can't wait to see Captain Cold come into play some more. This series is good. Constantly exciting. and the art is sooo good. The coloring is fantastic. I love the washed out look they use to convey normal speed in things.

Looking forward to the next issue already.

Yeah, I can't wait to see some more of the classic Flash rogues in the series. Don't know why they didn't lead off with one of them right from the start but I hope it leads into something.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

eh, I can see why they would start with someone new. It's a new universe, with (somewhat) new incarnations of the characters. To me, the Flash is kinda defined by his Rogues. They're half of what makes me pick up Flash books.

With the new universe, they want to carve their own path and make their own name. Relying on the old characters kinda defeats the entire purpose of the reboot. I think every villain for the first arcs of all the major books are new. And so far, it's been successful. Knowing that they'll get around to them eventually is good news, though.

 

[CConn]

Did someone say Cap Cold isn't a badass?

I'll **** that ****er up.

 

[Hush]

This last issue was awesome and this is the best looking book on the whole market hands down. So awesome.

 

[sethypants]

Im loving the new take on Captain and Trickster. Cant wait to see all the rogues united. I hope they're all re imagined to a modern version of the character.

 

[Cain]

The Flash is the best JL related book to me. It's just fun as **** to read. Manapul & Booch's Barry >>>>>>> Geoff Johns' Barry.

 

[Anubis]

Heh, Booch.

 

[Cain]

Son of the gooch

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I agree with this.

I was worried at first about the writing team, happy how the series is turning out so far.

 

[HighFivingMF]

My least favorite issue so far, but I still dug the Hell out of it. I like that Iris still gets some story to herself.

 

[Hush]

This book has the most unique paneling I have seen and man if that doesn't make this book that much more awesome. Also that series of panels where you see the suit come together on him! Jaw Dropping, Manapul has made Lee's design work well and that's awesome.

 

[kguillou]

Manupaul was made to draw the Flash, simple as that. His art is so bautiful and innovative, he's like a prettier version of Frank Quietly (not that Quietly isn't absolutely amazing himself). I hope he stays on this book forever.

 

[lixdexia]

I like that his layouts are as good as jh Williams but I prefer his figure style sooo much more

 

[HighFivingMF]

Starting with #8 Flash gets a new villain! Turbine, a Tuskegee Airman who has been trapped in the Speed Force since the '40s!

 

[HighFivingMF]

Jay Garrick from Earth-Two.

 

[Lord Valumart]

That is such a horrible costume... Whats the from? A Flash comic or an Earth 2 comic?

 

[HighFivingMF]

It's the cover to Earth-Two #2.

 

[Panthro]

Jay Garrick from Earth-Two.

What the Hell?

If that's Jay Garrick I don't think I want to see what Earth 2's Alan Scott looks like.

 

[hippie_hunter]

This Earth-2 relaunch looks horrible. And there is no reason for the dramatic changes within Earth-2 either.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

holy god, that is horrendous. like, seriously, wtf?

 

[SpideyInATree]

This Earth-2 relaunch looks horrible. And there is no reason for the dramatic changes within Earth-2 either.

Agreed. I was going to give it a try but after seeing some of the preview images I think I'm going to skip out on it and go by word of mouth if it is any good. Can always go back and grab something.

 

[lixdexia]

thst costume makes me a little dead inside.
