The Official Flash thread

[Tron Bonne]

Well, I can't imagine it being a much rougher road than theone he's been on the last few years.

I didn't mean in that way, I meant more the way poor Kyle got the shaft in GL after Hal came back. If Corp is right, well, it'll still gonna suck since The Flash will be reduced to teamplay, one-shots and minis.

The only reason anyone becomes a supehero in John's eyes is; MY PAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRENTS ARE DEEEEEEEEAAADD!!

 

[Scarecrow_King]

heh. I giggled at that.

In a battle along the outskirts of time, the secrets of the Speed Force have been revealed! The new archnemesis of those who ride the lightning is coming for Iris Allen. And the Barry Allen you knew is gone forever...or is he? What change does Wally West face? What destiny will Kid Flash choose? Prepare to meet a Flash Family that's both familiar and different...and get to the starting line for the next epic adventures of the Speed Force!

I'm guessing the September issue is when Wally will get his new costume.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I thought he already had his redesigned suit, or is he suppose to get a completely different suit altogether?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wally redesigned his suit in Rebirth already?

 

[sethcohen]

nope

 

[Scarecrow_King]

ya know, I wouldn't be surprised if its just a variation of that Walter West costume from a while back. I don't know anything about that story. but I thought the suit was pretty decent. he was from some alternate future or something?

 

[Kevin Smith]

...Who are you trying to convince, us or yourself?

LOL. Not trying to "convince" anyone, just getting something off my chest.

He's Wally from an alternate timeline where Linda dies.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn F**k Barry Allen!

Naw, DC already did that when they made his book about a supporting character and shoe-horned his sidekick into his costume.

The Hype thought this was so true they posted it twice!

*coughs* troll *coughs*....

Eh, I think Wally and fam will get an All Flash book. They already started a #1 on that a couple years back...I don't think it will be as "bad" as Rayner.

 

[sethcohen]

i still think wally is going to sacrifice himself and take barrys place as black flash so barry can go on being the flash

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That'd be a nice, tidy way of pissing off every Wally fan ever.

 

[BlackLantern]

Johns did say that Wally would remain a superhero and adopt a new identity....plans changing??

 

[flash13]

He better not sacrifice himself I would be pissed!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Here's hoping we get a GLC-style non-Barry Flash book at some point. And that we don't have to wait almost a year after Rebirth to get it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

We'll see, at this point I'm not expecting much from Wally's future except what Corp said.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

If Wally et al. do get a comic, I bet it'll be named something silly like "Speed Force: Re-energized!" I mean, what sort of "re" word can you apply to the Flashes to follow the GL: Rebirth/GLC: Recharge motif?

 

[Tron Bonne]

I guess that would be the best we can hope for really and could be pretty good. It's still pretty sad, though

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd actually be really happy with a non-Barry Flash series if it's as good as GLC is. It'd logically focus on all the other members of the Flash family--Wally, Jay, Bart, and whoever else is around--which is a big part of what I enjoyed about Waid's run on Wally's comic. Wally's kids would probably benefit from having more than just their parents to interact with, too.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, I would buy that, I'm sure it'd be great in the right hands.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Flash: Rerun!

heh.

 

[WompuM]

Maybe not Wally sacrificing himself, but Jay?

Hhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Spoiler

 

[BrianWilly]

Remind me again why we even think anyone is going to be sacrificed?
