Flash 1 Preview

[thokstar]

CBR has a preview of the first issue of the newest volume of Flash.



I like that Barry uses a bow tie as a text messaging icon. Or that he doesn't seem to believe in abbreviated words; he's the Flash, he has time to write full words. (OK, I do realize that's not why people abbreviate words when texting.)

Also <3 Manapul.

Well considering we've had two events with Barry languishing over what his rebirth means to not only him, but his family, friends, and the world. I think you're getting your wish as we speak.

I'm not actually reading the damn thing...

Do his 'rebirth' issues actually cover all this stuff then, as opposed to just being not quite dead? Colour me pleasantly surprised.

Well they haven't tackled everything. The first thing on everyone's mind is naturally going to be Barry being alive.

[arysteia]

Yeah, see, but while I concede that's massively interesting to his near and dear ones in-universe, it's not *hugely* interesting to *me*. (Judging from the tone of your comments, it strikes me it's not massively interesting to you either.) While he's been dead longer than just about anyone IRL, it's still par for the course in the revolving doored DC afterlife. What *is* unique about Barry is the fact his loved ones have lived entire lifetimes without him, rather than a few years.

[theanswer]

Yes, but my point is that they haven't had time to tackle everything.

That's fair, *g*. I freely admit I'm not currently reading the title, though it's not out of any sense of pique, just busyness. I guess I'm just musing about stuff that'd make me keen to start.

I'm relying on you, s_d, to keep me in the loop as to when that is. :D
