The Official Flash thread

[Tron Bonne]

They won't do the former, but the latter is pretty much what they're doing now

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Barry's already the "true" Flash in the current regime's eyes. That's why Flash: Rebirth even exists.

 

[SpideyInATree]

unfortunately I have this bad feeking DC'S gonna kill off Wally West before to long to try and certifie Barry Allen as the 'true' Flash.

At the Geoff Johns panel at one of the cons a fan asked if they were going to kill Wally West and Geoff Johns pretty much said "No".

So...no.

 

[BrianWilly]

If there's one question that I'm more than goddamn sick of hearing at 'cons at this point, it's "What's going to happen to Wally West?" "What's going to happen to Wally West?" "Is Wally West still going to have a role?" "What's going to happen to Wally West?" "What's Wally going to do now that Barry's back?" "What's going to happen to Wally West?" "Are you going to kill Wally West?" "What's going to happen to Wally West?" "What's going to happen to Wally West?" ****ing hell people. Every single freaking panel. Even if there are plans to Sodamize Wally and decapitate his children and then resurrect him and then kill him and then retcon him out of existence, they're not going to freaking tell you that in a freaking convention panel. Stop wasting everyone's time asking.

ARRrrrRRRG

A better question is "How bad are you gonna screw Wally West? Is it creepy camp counselor, 6'8" inmate, or Full Cattle prod?"

 

[SouLeSS]

The Flash Corps.

It's coming. Just wait.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I sincerely hope they don't call it that.

 

[Tron Bonne]

If they do make it I don't know what it would be called. Speedsters, Inc.? Fast Guys (and Gal)? Wally and the Flashettes?

 

[yenaled]

The Flash Family?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Oh well, yeah, if you want to go with something that makes sense

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

I would go with "The Flashers!".
i think it has a nice sound to it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd call 'me the Speed Force. But I like puns.

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Barry is the Speed Force, or created it now? They're gonna be called the Flash Force.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Created it, I think. The lightening bolt that hit him, which was him, created it

 

[Anubis]

When did Johns go all Bendis on us?

 

[Hush]

When he kinda had a good idea and then just went bat **** crazy with the idea, soon he will be saying that Flash Rebirth has been planned in like every thing he has written in like the past 5 years.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

When he decided to start retconning everything he came across that didn't quite suit his preferences, rather than actually working with established continuity and building the characters organically, which is what he pretty much built his name on. The only comic that Johns is writing like his old self right now, in my opinion, is Adventure Comics. Which he's leaving in 4 issues.

 

[CLARKY]

^
... ... ... Damned ! You are right. I feel the same, I have the same impression when I read him. I like working with continuity but I feel that he establishes more what he wants than anything else. I was kind of OK for GL, but I do not like the idea for Flash, Wally is the Flash, even G.Johns helped establishing that. There was no real need to bring back Barry Allen.

 

[TheWatcher]

They should have two books,one for wally(by johns and ian churchill) the other for barry(by johns and van scriver)

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Why would you condemn Wally to life as envisioned by Ian Churchill?

 

[TheWatcher]

Actually churchill is a great artist!
he does a part in All Flash #1 and its great!

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I'm not all that fond of his work, to be honest.

 

[Spike_x1]

The best work I've seen him do was in Hulk #14, where he's trying to do his best impression of Ed McGuinness' style instead of Jim Lee's, and even then Churchill's work still isn't that good (much better than usual, but not what I'd call great).

 

[CLARKY]

They should have two books,one for wally(by johns and ian churchill) the other for barry(by johns and van scriver)

Let's make it one for wally (by johns and Scott Kolins) and I'm buying.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That would be great.
