Two page spread from The Flash #1 behind the cut.



Silver Age Done Right
I think Flash was the only comic of the new 52 to do that old fashioned origin blurb thing.

I've seen that drawing many times the past few months.

It still never fails to make my eyes happy. :D

The Flash, showing us how stealing the costume of a better, more competent hero is done.

Wow. Manapul's come a long way since he was doing the Necromancer for Top Cow. He could almost give Williams III a run for his money... Almost.

I misread that as 'tenuous sense of justice' and was all, that's honest and upfront of them.

I love it when they used letters as panels, it's a nice touch and leaves more space for the art!
(and now I finally know how the Flash (at least Barry) got his powers

I really think wally was not a hero in this new verse. I mean he was not brought up in red hood outlaws, and no one made huff in teen titans about there being a new kid flash(in teen titans when barry denied realation), and he barely knows iris west.

I prefer barry allen but Wally west should not just be swept away...get rid of kyle rayner. Wally west and the new guardians would be sick.

Was wally wests identity public knowledge? I read his dc retroactive and he walked around mask-less(he was also a broke loser).

This. This is what you need to pull people into comics.

Even if it is Barry Allen.

Barry seemed fun and had a bit of a personality here. I think that was the chief complaint of post-Rebirth Barry: no one really cared. He was still pretty boring, by the numbers, and showed no signs of real life.

I do hate that his marriage to Iris has been retconned. The concept of a Flash Family where they're all family men (and women, if you count Jesse) was a great touch, and one of my more endearing notions. However, I'm happy with how the comic feels, and Iris is at least a strong presence in the story, it seems.

I do miss Wally. It's his personality and his history that made me love him, and I will maintain to my dying breath that Barry Allen was much more effective as a dead spirit that everyone was trying to live up to after such a noble sacrifice, but I'm not going to shun this book just yet.

And as mentioned before, MY GOD THAT ART. So good.
