April 27, 2011 4:03 pm uughh...so much angst and melodrama for a Flash comic. Not so sure if I want to read Flashpoint now, I'll wait for #12 to come out before I decide.

April 7, 2011 9:37 pm Two people whose names should be on that list are Brian Hurtt and Cullen Bunn. The Sixth Gun is a damn good book. I didn't even realize it until a few months ago but Hurtt even does the lettering himself, dude's a beast.

I am glad to see Stumptown get nominated. It may have taken awhile to come out but when you read it all at once it really is a great crime comic.

April 7, 2011 5:47 pm I'm going to repeat what others have said and suggest The Return of Barry Allen by Mark Waid. My favorite Flash story.

April 7, 2011 5:01 pm Yep, that Nonplayer panel is gorgeous. It's the best panel of the week, month, year...

April 6, 2011 9:18 pm Also, not trying to ruin this for anyone who enjoyed the reveal. Just trying to get my point across.

April 6, 2011 9:16 pm @Paul  What I wanted was an actual story. There's a whole mystery of who the white lantern's new champion will be. It's Deadman's mission to look for said person, going to Ressurection Man (was that his name? I forgot), Batman, and there's even the possibility that it could be Boston Brand himself. After a dozen or so issues here we are, almost to the conclusion and it turns out the chosen one is someone who has not appeared in Brightest Day.

Its like reading a murder mystery where the only characters/suspects are a wealthy socialite, an ex-cop and convicted felon. But it turns out the butler did it! But there was never any butler mentioned before

April 6, 2011 6:44 pm @PaulMontgomery  Fair point, I bought a maxi-series about super-heroes that spun out of a company-wide event. Buyer beware. I didn't think it would be about continuity and the DCU in general, but a story about the resurrected heroes/villains and the mystery of the white lantern's champion, since that's what its been marketed as since day one. Instead there's been no mention of Jade or Max Lord since the beginning (I have no clue if they've even completed they're missions), and the champion is someone who never appeared previously in the story. I had to google Alec Holland. Maybe I'm being too harsh, I guess I'm just griping about cape comics in general and how you have to know about events and characters from years ago to even get what's going on.

April 6, 2011 5:44 pm As someone who is still fairly new to DC comics, and the fact that Swamp Thing hasn't been a part of the DCU for years, I thought the twist in Brightest Day was just plain stupid. There has been no mention of Swamp Thing at all in this story and now, all of a sudden, he's the Dark Avatar and the White Lantern's champion. What a load of deus ex machina garbage. I've invested too much time and money on this series to drop it with only a few issues left to go, but that was a really cheap twist.

April 4, 2011 8:25 pm I started reading this series a couple issues ago and I've got to say that this is the best book on the stands. More people need to read this book.

March 18, 2011 2:46 pm If my wallet became self-aware, then it would be happy to hear this. I wonder what the next flash book is going to be? Maybe they're going to finally bring Wally out of obscurity once flashpoint is done.
