The Official Flash thread

[Tron Bonne]

Well, that'll suck, those aren't major roles at all

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Johns keeps talking about how he loves all the Flashes, so who knows? He might surprise us and use Wally, Jay, and even Max (if he comes back) a lot. I'm not holding my breath or anything, but you never know.

I mean, the man has written many a good Wally story in his day, so perhaps he means what he says. It won't necessarily be Kyle part 2: Kyle Harder.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I don't really get the situation. I do like Bart and all, but with the way the whole GL and GLC have been successful you'd think they would do Flash and All Flash, or something, as opposed to Flash and Kid Flash

That's frightening

My guess is that Johns' talk of loving all the Flashes extended to his pitch as well, so he figures he'll handle all of the Flash characters in his book.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, maybe that will make most people happy, I dunno

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I have to admit, I did quite enjoy Barry in Green Lantern. Gone was the angst of Rebirth and there was the Barry I've come to love through post-Crisis interpretations of him in Brave and the Bold and JLA: Year One.

 

[WompuM]

Well maybe by BN, his parents are no longer.........dead!!!!!!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It still seems a little odd to me that people are so excited that Johns might retcon out his retcon as part of the story. Either way, you'd still have had to suffer through like three quarters of a mini-series' worth of angsty Barry.

BN is set after Rebirth. Barry isn't The Black Flash anymore, so his head isn't screwed up now. He's acting like Barry again. He's the smiling, easy going Barry we (I heheh) know and love again (like in New Frontier). I can't wait to see how he gets back to being his old self in the rest of Rebirth.

They're still dead, just like Hal's parents. It's the official origin now. I just want to know, if Barry's dad was in prison and his mom was dead, who raised Barry then?

 

[Kevin Smith]

I'm very pleased about The Flash news at comic con. Looking forward to the new Barry ongoing (finally!!! I always said his return was inevitable, just like Cap).

 

[Timstuff]

Yeah, but Steve Rogers' return to being Cap didn't take 20 years.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Yeah, but Steve Rogers' return to being Cap didn't take 20 years.

lol! Yeah, thankfully.

You can't keep the big guns dead. That's all I'm saying.

 

[Kevin Smith]

The Flash: "I still don't get why you don't do more to protect your identity. This new Lantern? Kyle? His mask covers most of his face. Smart kid."
Green Lantern: "Clark hides behind a pair of glasses and you're worried about me?"
The Flash: "Clark slouches, wears clothes 2 sizes too big and raises his voice an octave."
Green Lantern: "And I'll never understand how he got Lois Lane that way".
The Flash: "Hey, some women are into introspective guys."
Green Lantern: "You mean like Iris?"
The Flash: "Like Iris. What do I keep hearing? 'The geeks are taking over the world.'"
Green Lantern: "Oh, God. You started reading the internet, didn't you?"
The Flash: "And stopped. Too slow."

^^ Barry and Hal had some great moments in GL #44. I'm glad that Barry is being himself again.

Holy double posting Batman.

 

[Hush]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan **** BARRY ALLEN!

 

[Kevin Smith]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan **** BARRY ALLEN!

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!

Barry's back. Hal's back. Steve's back. We won. You still got the wannabes.

 

[Hush]

I don't mind Steve but then again i rarely read anything Marvel cause i hate that universe right now with the exception of Thor. I have accepted Hal's very, in my mind, unwelcome return. Barry's has simply been a HUGE mess since issue one and he really didnt need to come back so its kinda pointless but i have no control so oh well.

 

[CLARKY]

I would not mind twins Flash since Central City and Keystone City are twins cities. I think I'm dreaming. That won't happen. Oh well ...

 

[Kitsune]

They're still dead, just like Hal's parents. It's the official origin now. I just want to know, if Barry's dad was in prison and his mom was dead, who raised Barry then?

Uncle Ben?

[Anubis]

Like the old saying says....s**t floats.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Is that the third issue? It has stumbled a little. The first issue was number 1, and the second was like 3 or 4.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Not bad by any means, but it does seem a bit low for such a hyped series.
