The Official Flash thread

[Mystirious]

Or just, y'know, give them series of their own.

And have Mark Waid write it

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, most people are speculating that the Flash: Speed Force book will feature Wally and Bart primarily, which seems like a pretty good bet.

I agree with storyteller

Also will the Johns Omnibus have the "Blitz" storyline?

No clue. It was just a listing that popped up on Amazon and nothing has been said about it officially.

How is this Barry series selling

 

[Tron Bonne]

Last I remember it was selling pretty well, but I think the last few issues might have hit some delays

 

[TheWatcher]

I have no doubt that there will be a Flash:Secret Origins. It is the Johns way.
1st-Rebirth
2nd-Series
3rd-Origin
4th-Fifty spin offs.

1st-Rebirth
2nd-Series
3rd-Origin
4th-Fifty spin offs that are better than the ongoing series

Fixed that for you

A Flash Omnibus by Geoff Johns has shown up on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Omnibus-Geoff-Johns-Vol/dp/1401230687/ref=lh_ni_t_

No info, but it pretty much has to be Wally's series. I don't see how they'd be enough of Barry's series for an Omnibus treatment by May (assuming May is an accurate date).

[Tron Bonne]

12 issues of the regular series, plus three misc. issues. I thought an Omnibus would be a little more than that honestly.

Especially for that price!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Marvel's omnibuses are like 25 or 30 issues and they're usually cheaper, like in the $60 range.

 

[MadVillainy]

Also will the Johns Omnibus have the "Blitz" storyline?

ANyone know?

 

[Mystirious]

Nope the first volume won't

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Johns said at some convention that Wally and Bart are supposed to have a larger role in the main Flash book once that motorcycle guy comes into play.

 

[Charlie Boy]

Someone please politely tap me on the shoulder when that happens.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I'll start reading Flash if Wally's got a significant role. I'd prefer his own series, but I'll take what I can get at this point. I miss him.

 

[flash13]

Me too

 

[Charlie Boy]

We all do. And since I'm not going near TT, I miss Bart as well.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I miss Bart as Impulse. I'm kind of wishing the changes from Johns' early Teen Titans run never happened lately.

 

[Charlie Boy]

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Bart getting popped in his knee then suddenly returning as Kid Flash, myself.

I miss Bart as Impulse. I'm kind of wishing the changes from Johns' early Teen Titans run never happened lately.

I don't really see the big deal. He was an impulsive idiot, now he's not. Going back would just be, like, Brand New Dayish.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Not so much for Bart as for Conner. Both of them were just a lot more fun before Teen Titans. A lot more fun. I'm not saying the growth should be discounted, either. Just get them closer to their fun, boisterous, sometimes-reckless personalities of old. Like Niceiza's brought Tim back to some approximation of his light-hearted self in Red Robin without shortchanging any of the emotional drama he's been through.
