March 21, 2011 9:33 pm Damn! I'm there!

February 22, 2011 7:38 am Nice. I can skip most of the X-Men related comics for the next month or so. Zeb Wells and Leonard Kirk were doing some amazing work before this crossover. I'll wait till it's done to jump back on. Money in my pocket.

September 13, 2010 4:35 pm Yeah, this has been a lot of fun. The fast release pace really helped too. So, does Goran Parlov's excellent artwork! That guy should be a star by now. 

August 12, 2010 9:35 pm Andre Braugher as Darkseid sounds awesome! It still surprises me the level of vocal talent they get for these movies.

Great show about one of my favourite all time comic heroes.

Connor, thanks for mentioning the writers that came before Waid and Johns like William-Messner Loeb and Mike Baron. A lot of the concepts that we see now being used all the time in Flash comics were created in those runs: Super-fast metabolism to keep speed up, being able to pluck bullets out of the air, waeving through people at such speed that they seem to stand still etc were all created in these runs. Also, the character of Waly wasn't always boring (something which I disagree with btw), during these runs he had great supporting cast members like Chunk, his estranged parents and Linda who were all created around that period too (plus also a brilliantly written gay Piper who became one of Wally's best friends).The character of Wally has slowly changed over time, he was a spoilt, brass, brat for much of it which made the character interesting and different. Of course he mellowed as he grew up over time, but those earlier issues of Wallys run were edgy, sexy and took risks.

People today obviously want the traditional (and in my mind a little dull) personality of Barry over the fun, brash chracter of Wally (when he's written well that is). Oh well. Looking forward to following Johns run, but I really don't think he's done ANYTHING new with the character of the Flash (which is not Johns forte, he's much more about working with the traditional tools and giving them a spin).There's a reason people loved Wally for 20 years and it's the same reason people are upset that he's been sidelined because Johns just wasn't interested in going back to him: Just because Wally was badly written for a few years doesn't mean you replace, it just means you need to try harder. 

June 2, 2010 11:42 am Good news! Doesn't really change much and Joe Q will probably STILL be pumping out the pencils. For a man who watches over one of the biggest comic publishers in the world, he still manages to get out more work than some full time artists. Kudos Mr Q. BTW that picture is all kinds of intimidating!
