The Official Flash thread - Part 1

[Lord Valumart]

So where's Boomerang in all this Rouges stuff?

But anyhoo, GRODD!!! I ****ing love talking apes!! I cannot wait to see how this plays out! So bloody exciting!

 

[HighFivingMF]

So where's Boomerang in all this Rouges stuff?

He's hanging out with some cult. He's been popping up in Suicide Squad.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

New Boomerang or old Boomerang?

 

[HighFivingMF]

Digger. He has his energy 'rangs still.

I really can't stand Heatwave's new look, and I'm still on the fence about Captain Cold's freeze powers going internal, but overall I like what they're doing with them. Especially Weather Wizard, he's legitimately interesting again. I do wonder how things are going to go with the Rogues hating Captain Cold. Presumably it won't last, and I hope it doesn't, since I have always loved them as a unit.

I really dug Rebirth! I really love the parts about the speed force. That whole concept is just fiercely fascinating to me

I thought that cult had killed him

Gliders and WW i have to say are the best imo. Heatwave is the worst. With the rest i'm still on the fence about. CC seems too much like Sub-Zero now for me lol

Glider's new design is my favourite out of all the rogues I think she be looking fabulous and sexy

I hope she'll be sticking around to either lead the rogues or be part of the team

 

[HighFivingMF]

Not even a little.

 

[Maximus One]

So are The Flash vs The Rogues or The Fastest Man Alive good books? I'm just asking because I saw them at the comic store by my house and they weren't too bad price wise.

 

[Cain]

The Flash Vs. The Rogues is cool as long as you don't mind silver age comics. Don't even look in the direction of The Fastest Man Alive though. It's a pretty terrible waste of time.

 

[CConn]

The Fastest Man Aive: Full Throttle wasn't bad though.

It's a shame Guggenheim wasn't on the book for all 13 issues, it might have been something worthwhile.

 

[Maximus One]

What about Flashpoint? The Books a Million by my apartment had a few Flashpoint books. They had Flashpoint: Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash etc. Is the Flash book the main Flashpoint book?

I can't do Silver Age stuff. It's just how I am, the most simple looking art I've ever been able to get into in a book was like The Long Halloween and when was that? The 80s?? I need some good modern Flash books but I'm hesitant about Flashpoint because I'm so hesitant about alternate reality stories

 

[HighFivingMF]

The main series is just Flashpoint. Flashpoint: The Flash has the Kid Flash, Captain Cold, and Legion of Doom (starring Heatwave) mini-series.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I actually kinda liked Fastest Man Alive. I thought it was neat seeing how Bart dealt with being the 4th generation of a legendary hero. And I feel like it set up Inertia as a good villain for Bart, but it never got to go anywhere.

That book just got screwed by editorial. It touched on a lot of interesting stuff, but there was a bunch of crazy **** going on all at the same time.

 

[Mystirious]

Countdown

I blame Countdown and its numerous stupid tie ins for this

Countdown screwed up pretty much all the books/characters involved while it was running because every title wound up having to pointlessly tie in to either Countdown or one of its spin offs

It was fail in a whale

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Just read the issue. Awesome moments. Loved seeing how everyone upgraded from weapons to superpowers. Flash's fight in the mirror world was visual eye candy; oh and let's not forget GRODD!!!

 

[Mystirious]

Kneel before Grodd!

 

[Panthro]

Does anyone actually like Patty Spivot? I find her... strangely irritating.

 

[CConn]

She's okay.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Who the hell's Patty Spivot?

 

[Hush]

An annoying side character in this current run.

 

[CConn]

Romantic interest.

 

[Panthro]

Who the hell's Patty Spivot?

The girlfriend who isn't Iris West.

 

[Mystirious]

Does anyone actually like Patty Spivot? I find her... strangely irritating.

She was pretty annoying with her nonsensical 'i know you aren't to blame for Barry's death but I blame you anyway' rant right after Flash saved her life

Apart from that I don't hate her

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The girlfriend who isn't Iris West.

Oh. Irrelevant, then.
