The Official Flash thread

[The Flash!]

I'm hoping it's not Wally, myself. Remember, the first Flash we see will not be the Flash for long, according to the editor of the comic.

I read it in the thread for the NYCC.

If it's not Wally then who could it be? Bart? Someone new?

As said here.

"Only one," Hilty said when asked how many Flashes there will be “One Year Later”. "There is just one, ultimately," she added. "I get the idea that people are going to be taking turns being the Flash, that's not the case."

Didio reminded Hilty that the first Flash you see won't be the same Flash at the end of the new Flash #1.


The full title of the new Flash series is The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive.

Is the series coming out this summer btw?

Based on the fact that Bart's Flash costume in the future was primarily orange and not red, I don't think that it will be Bart.

That's what they say. They haven't given it an official date or month or anything yet, though.

The Speed Force is allegedly staying gone, according to Joan Hilty, and Wally's speed costume was made of Speed Force energy. Of course, she also said the Speed Force would be more important than ever, as well...

She said the speed force AS WE KNOW IT will be gone

Oooooh!

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

She said the speed force AS WE KNOW IT will be gone

no she said an interveiw at newsarama that the speed force will be as imporant as ever.

 

[Fantastic Fan22]

she said that too but she also said that the speed force as we know it will be gone, it was in the same interview.

 

[slipalong]

who knows then? But from the JSA preview Jay still has his speed so...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I just hope the speedsters are still capable of all the badass crap they can do now. However they explain it, stealing and lending speed, bumping up their metabolisms to heal wounds faster, and skirting along the light-speed barrier to punch with infinite mass are ****ing awesome.

Where did you get this?

That's what they say. They haven't given it an official date or month or anything yet, though.

I heard it was in the summer, so who knows. Maybe we'll see in the new solicts next month, or a new update.

I thought I saw June somewhere, but that may have just been for Wonder Woman. It can't be too far off.

this is just a sketch.

It's a shame. So far I'm loving these pencils, then hating the inking/colorations.

 

[Xan-El]

The Twins..Wally's newborns are gonna be the Flash(Flashes?) either way I'm intrigued but just for the first few issues, after that I'm done.

That sounds like a smart conclusion...I would bet money on it. I thought Kid Flash would take over the reigns for Wally but It doesn't seem possible...

 

[Orko Is King]

The upcoming Issue #1 covers for the relaunch of Flash : One Year Later

It Looks like Wally .

I'm soooo buying this! Did they get rid of his yellow boots (like the live action show)?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

We haven't seen any clear pics of anything below the knee yet, so it's possible.

 

[slipalong]

That pic of the front cover isn't showing up for me... is it hosted on a website anywhere?

[slipalong]

many thanks corp!

Dunno how I missed that one!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No problemo.

 

[Nightwing 52]

That current pic doesn't look like he's wearing yellow boots. There probably red like his arms are, with the yellow lighting rods embraced around them. Or just plain red....

 

[TheCorpulent1]

His entire leg from the knee down is shrouded in shadows.

 

[Nightwing 52]

His entire leg from the knee down is shrouded in shadows.

Not his left one. You can clearly see the red embedded all over it, straight down to his foot.

Even it isn't, I don't think yellow boots would fit well with that costume....

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Shadows aren't always colored black in comics. The left foot is a silhouette; maroon-looking, yes, but a silhouette nonetheless, just like his face is supposed to be partially silhouetted, which is why it's colored that dark, maroon color too. All you can see that's clearly colored red on it is a little piece of his calf, which his boots might not come up to anyway.

I don't see how yellow boots wouldn't fit with that costume, either. It's the same damn costume as the current one except for the gloves.

Only because this costume looks entirly different from the costume we saw in the first preview about it. Which is why some say he might be black other then white. There was a discussion pages back on whether or not his mask was a full piece mask or not, that this costume covered his entire body including his face. Remember, its said that the first Flash we see in this seires won't be the same one by the end of the first issue. So maybe he gets a new costume, and this is it? I understand what you mean about the silhouette and I could be wrong, I just think there won't be any yellow boots on this one.

Take a look at the sketch GAH posted. It might not be the exact interior Flash may have, but possibly something close to that. On that sketch, he's not wearing any boots, instead his whole leg is covered all the way down...
