The Official Flash thread

[Tron Bonne]

I think someone predicted it earlier because it seems like convenient way to shoo away Wally since Barry is back.

 

[WompuM]

And, I assume somebody close to Barry would die so if Johns crosses Blackest Night with the new Flash series, he'll have fodder for Barry.

 

[BrianWilly]

Hasn't he already done that? The new Flash series doesn't look like it'll start until after BL, anyway.

I mean, people, there's no way in hell he's going to sacrifice Wally. You know that. I'm aware that Johns is a barrel of "

" a lot of the time, but c'mon.

 

[MadVillainy]

If he does....I have a present for him

not my wiener

 

[WompuM]

Is it your wiener?

 

[BrianWilly]

Good god, I was right about to ask that. I mean, the way he said it was just...

 

[MadVillainy]

....not my wiener

BL?

I don't think it'll happen particularly and I don't think if they'll do it they'll kill him, but I think what someone said earlier was that Wally would replace Barry as the Black Flash somehow. Nice way to kind of get him out the way for a little while Barry flopped around.

 

[BrianWilly]

Yeah that's...not gonna happen, guys.

 

[kytrigger]

I thnk they should create a new ongoing where both Wally and Kyle team up. Their both friends and just have them both be "searching" for their new role in the DCU. It would give them both exposure and since they are constantly tavelling, allow them to interact with the rest of the DCU and rebuild their status amongst the readers.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Kyle already has his role in the DCU: he and Guy are "specialist" Lanterns who outrank pretty much everyone in the Corps except for the Alphas, Kilowog, and Salaak.

Yeah that's...not gonna happen, guys.

Could happen to Jay, though. Then he'd really be old as death lolpun!

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

well i would just like to throw my 2 cents ( thats all i get paid at this*&^%$# Job)
As a cat who likes Both Barry and Wally. i always dug wally since he was Kid-flash. Kid Flash!!! Man That is one of the baddest names ever, but i grew up with Barry and was bummed when he bought the farm in Crisis.I saw Wally as another one of those emo heroes when he took his place, but He became even better( well the writing and character of Wally became even better that is). I was bummed when they said they were going to bring Barry back cause he died such a great death and Wally was the flash now. I dig rebirth for the nostalgia it brings as one who grew up with Barry( I mean how can you not dig Flash smoking Supes butt in a race) who would i prefer to see?? Wally as the Flash, but when you got &^%$# how many GLs??. I guess theres room for a bazillion flashes too.now i will just take my 2 cents and buy me some booze to drown my sorrows about this &^%$# job.Hehe

 

[Hush]

I just bought Human Race and it really was quite awesome, not gonna lie.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I love that story. I'm gonna hold off on buying the trade, though.

 

[Hush]

Yeah my shop owner held it for me because he is the man! Oh and i must say the way Linda was brought back was ****ing sick.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Guys.....Wally isn't going anywehere, lol. Stop being so paranoid.

 

[Kevin Smith]

And I loved that moment in #3... "Those were for charity, Clark" BOOOOOOOOM!!!!

^ Epic.

 

[yenaled]

Guys.....Wally isn't going anywehere, lol. Stop being so paranoid.

Exactly. Wally is going nowhere fast.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah that's...not gonna happen, guys.

I don't think it will either, but anyway it goes Wally is in, I think anyway, for a pretty big downgrade in some form or fashion. Like someone said earlier though, just got to accept the fact that DC is currently moving the way that just isn't for readers like myself

 

[Kevin Smith]

Exactly. Wally is going nowhere fast.

Like that's anything new.

C'mon, dude, you know what I meant....he'll still be here. And as a Flash. Stop whining. Let Barry have some spot light. How many Wally stories did Barry fans have to endure? I don't think it's too much to ask for Wally fans to give Barry a shot. And even so, what's to complain about? You still have Wally, you still have him as Flash, and you can still read him. It's not like they killed/replaced him. Barry and Hal fans really took it on the chin when their characters were "replaced".

 

[flash13]

Barry can have the spotlight as long as Wally has his own book. Cause I'm not gonna buy Barry's book after Rebirth, the only reason I'm reading it is for Wally and Jay.

 

[MadVillainy]

I like the idea of separate books.

If Barry's is good I'll read it same thing with Wally's.

I can't speak for everyone, and I've said this about 50 times now, but to me it's not just a case of 'I like so and so better'. I don't think Barry Allen should come back. I don't ask a whole lot of my comics, I really don't. I have a very small list of characters who I believe should not come back for varying reasons. The usuals are on the list, Uncle Ben, The Waynes, etc. On the top of the list, numero uno, was Barry Allen. There's a lot of reasoning for this, but I've went into this already in this thread and don't feel like doing it again. And, frankly, I don't know why Barry fans would want him to come back either, but once again, I don't want to get into that again

And I think it's pretty naive to think that everything going to be the same for Wally. He may still be around, and he may still be a Flash, but he's going to get downgraded. It may not end up being like Kyle was when Hal first came back, but a downgrade is inevitable. Unless they really have two books, both titled Flash, but they won't

 

[Paradox1]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn f$&k Wally West!!!

 

[Tron Bonne]

If you're going to do it, do it right. It's f**k, not f$&k.
