January 2, 2013 10:53 am I am kind of surprised to hear myself say this but I might be dropping this soon. Nothing is happening, I love the art every month, but, I also feel like I have been reading the same book month after month after month. Is this the new 52 editing decision. It's a bad one and I've dropped more books than I would ever have thought possible. I miss the other speedsters, I really miss Wally, I miss Jay, I even miss Max. And I especially miss Iris. It seems like Barry is unfocused and has nobody to turn to. And too many dangling loose ends. Sorry, the art is not enough to cut it.

December 10, 2012 7:24 pm Ahhh...so sorry to see this happen. Cassaday is a gem whose light gets shaded all too frequently. Will go all Hickman after this brief 4 issue opening.

November 27, 2012 12:11 pm Here's the rub... they are ALWAYS GREAT, but, and it's a BIG BUT (as opposed to a BIG BUTT), it never feels like it's moving forward and that has been the ongoing criticism of much of the new 52. They just drag on and on and on and on. I love the FLash (been reading him since 1963), but today's stories are taking too long and I am losing interest.

November 27, 2012 12:00 pm Is this a mini? How many issues total? As Marvel NOW rolls out my budget for DC got cut in half.

November 20, 2012 6:54 am Buying the 1st issue for Remender only and for the collectible #1, for a Con Signing. But I hate JRJR's. dropped any and everything he drawers.

November 19, 2012 1:33 pm Comics? Dinosaurs? Hmmm.... There may yet be a connection. I have to say I started buying Comics at 12 cents cover prices in drugstores. Yeah, you heard me right the first time. 12 PENNIES FOR 32 PAGES. So now I am all grown up (wipe that smirk of your face), married to my partner, own a home, have a big dog and 2 cats and 4 vehicles (used/older). I am a professional and while I made a better living before the 'Recession', I still do pretty good. Where do I draw the line. Well the New 52 is quickly becoming the dwindled down to 4 titles. The Marvel 'NOW' initiative is starting out with digital and paper #'1's (to sign at Cons). All I can say is I resent Marvels double ships. FUCK YOU and shove your no-prize. Oops..did I really say that! I see comics pricing themselves right out of existence. It is a sad thing. When I look back there is not tons that I would re-read. And that's how I make my purchasing decisions... read a title for a while, if I lose interest (or patience in the case of DC telling the same Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Demon Knights, etc... story issue after issue until I don't care) I toss them. Snyder's Batman is a rare exception. But more and more I just don't care. I am already getting 'hooked' into some of Marvel's 'relauch' (cough, choke, choke... and it ain't a chicken bone girls). Iron Man... faged'aboud'it. Fantastic Four (not so FANTASTIC), Uncanny Avengers...AWESOME! New X-Men... potential abounds. Thor... great. But can this go on-and-on and at what price. I guess I can always re-mortgage or sell off a toe at a time (what can I get for a kidney? Hmmmm?) So there I go... rambling at my rage. No answers, no end, credit card bills keep coming...oh yeah, did I mention the cost of groceries, insurance, heating oil, gas, and a good haircut? If I buy 3 books, and you buy 3 books, and he and she each buy 3 books, let's start a swap.

November 12, 2012 7:34 am SO WHAT's NEXT? What are they calling the new show? When does it premiere?

November 1, 2012 10:12 am His jumping of X-3 and his SNORE on Superman has left me less than enthusiastic for this turn of events. I mean we're stuck with this now, we have to go along with it, but where as prior I was psyched to see this on opening night, now I can wait a week or two or even for Netflix. Sorry, I don't feel the love for this compromise.

October 4, 2012 2:22 pm John Byrne (ah the goog'ol Byrne and Austin Days of Past) should never have started to think he could write or ink his own work.He's barely an honorable mention these days.

October 4, 2012 9:54 am Hi Connor, Funny you should pick this. When I was a younger man figuring out my place in this world as a gay man, I strongly remember and identified with this book and this exact sequence of panels. I always found parallels between my own minority and mutants (and their lot) and found comforts there. These days there are parts of our country where things have really changed and society has "grown up". I am so proud and happy for younger generations. Sadly that is only some but not all. There is a place in comics for strong, positive role models for everyone. Let's hope we see more of it in all media. I'll make it a point to say hello at the NYC COMIC CON sometime Friday. Peace.
