November 1, 2012 4:00 am A great summary. Wally is my Flash, and I tend to agree that the ability to develop him makes him a more fascinating character than Barry. DC seems to have such reverence for the Silver Age characters that their more recent versions get short shrift. Whilst I agree that Wally's story certainly has an arc to it, I'd hate to think that the lacklustre final chapter really represents the end of his story - it's unrepresentative of the Flash of the 1990-2000's and does the character a real disservice.
August 27, 2012 8:52 am I was just thinking that. It might be cool if J'onn J'onnz had the same kind of mentor/foster parent role with Stargirl that he had with Gypsy back in the JL Detroit...

June 11, 2012 4:10 pm Lots of books for me this week. BQ: Although I'm not much of a football supporter, it'd be rude not to root for the Eng-er-land. (Why are we supposed to be "the villains" btw?)
June 5, 2012 1:45 pm Perhaps a "Brave and the Bold" film could introduce Flash & reintroduce a Green Lantern, then do a bit of a mini team-up story. Barry & Hal or even Wally & Kyle could be possible combinations.
June 5, 2012 1:05 am I already dropped it; I couldn't take any more abuse of this character.
May 31, 2012 3:55 pm The whole haematemesis power is really worrying me. Quite apart from the whole risk of circulatory collapse, those poor Red Lanterns are going to be permanently anaemic, breathless and fatigued. Atrocitus looks like he's robust enough to handle the drop in haemoglobin. It's that poor little kitten I worry about...
April 30, 2012 4:09 pm Agreed: That run was really the only time I could get into the Legion.
