Oh, someone's unimpressed!

One page from The Flash #1 under the cut.





Oh, I am definitely liking this art. _{But it does get kinda awkward when you realize that they are grandparents...}

No idea what's going on, but the art is endearing. I like it. =)

Wasn't there anything exciting that happened? Why isn't anyone posting that?

[dreamreaver]

I'll let others post the important pages, since I'm really not in the mood for explanations. But, long story short, the dead Rogue isn't one of ours, it's the Mirror Master's equivalent from a 25th century force called the Renegades (each major Rogue has an equivalent, the leader's name is Commander Cold).

[theanswer]

...And you picked this boring exchange over that?

[dreamreaver]

I found it funny. What, that suddenly makes my post less legitimate? If you're interested, why not get the actual issue?

[theanswer]

Well nothing really happens in this page and posting it kind of limits what other people can post from the issue.

[dreamreaver]

It's one page. One page isn't much of a hindrance, especially when you consider this is an extended issue.

[sailorlibra]

If it helps, I like that you chose to post this. Cute isn't necessarily worse than action-packed. *grumbles*

[jaclynhyde]

Seconded. I often prefer seeing character moments here and checking out the action in the issues themselves.

[retro_nouveau]

Here too. Actually rolled my eyes when Barry disassembled the car. Loved that Iris is never far from her Jitters cup.

[jelly_ace]

I always thought S_D was more into character-related posts myself...

[bwhahahabeck]

Then, uh, they can buy the issue for the action packed parts.

[kingrockwell]

Listen, people post what they want to. If you want to see something else, post it yourself!
Quit being a jerk.

[theanswer]

Name calling, nice.

[kingrockwell]

"Being" implies a criticism of the action, not the person.

[theanswer]

That's a nice little lie.

[thatnickguy]

Silly argument.

You've started one.

[stubbleupdate]

Wait. What makes you think that people have to post things that amuse you. If you want to see somethibg different, post something different.

You have no right to chastise other users for posting things that don't interest you.

[theanswer]

I wasn't.

[stubbleupdate]

What were you doing then? Apart from calling somebody out for posting "this boring exchange"?

[dimwit90]

The only thing I could think of when reading this was "Why is Barry wearing a tie?

[aaron_bourque]

. . . was he known for not? Anyway, it looks like they're at a fairly fancy dinner, judging by how she's dressed, so he'd have to wear a tie to get into most restaurants that are for fancy dinners.

[kagome654]

Well, he's more often associated with bow ties than tie...ties.

[aaron_bourque]

They wouldn't let him in with a bow tie. There's rampant bigotry against bow ties in those fancy restaurants.

[dimwit90]

I've always thought Barry was a bow tie guy ever since Iris gave him the red one on their first date? No? okay never mind

[badficwriter]

He is..a bow tie is even his avatar in their phone messaging.

[midnightvoyager]

So he... er... tricked his wife into making an agreement... that...

Okay. Cool story, bro? Guess I'm missing some context or something.

[aaron_bourque]

Iris is regretting being morally upright with him.

[raygunjill]

It wasn't a trick. He's a police scientist while she's a crime reporter so they agreed that all their conversations were off the record for the sake of a peaceful marriage and being honest at their jobs.

[badficwriter]

It was probably a good idea. You can't be close to someone and have to constantly watch what you say or they'll print your words all over the media.

I thought the issue was a bit slow. Bart did the same thing to the same Trickster in an issue of Teen Titans with the whole dismantling a car shtick (waaay before he died, can't remember the issue #) but much, much neater. No little boys were almost killed.
I was also confused as t why he wasn't wearing a red bow-tie. It's, like, his thing!
And I was a little disappointed I wasn't given an explanation as to WHY Barry came out of WPP.
And can someone tell me how man years passed between COIE and this? I thought it'd be like 10-20 years but a friend on twitter said more like less than 10.


Also, anyone else get the ring to with it?
