Hmm...it's interesting, but I don't know if I can really judge it until I see him without any distracting Kirby Krackle around him.

[icon_uk]

Ditto.

[lieut_kettch]

Ditko? No, Kirby.

*badum craaaash!*

[captainbellman]

SO.

MANY.

UNNECESSARY.

LINES.

OH GOD IT'S SARK

[chrisdv]

If this is Wally, then I'm officially rooting for the "villain" to kick Barry's ass.

Oh, who am I kidding. When it comes to this series, I already am rooting for whoever's smacking Barry around this issue.

[onceaskrull]

I love you. Wait, did that get weird?

AND WAIT is there speculation that it is Wally? I haven't been following Flash because Barry puts me to sleep and I hold a major grudge, and I likewise haven't been keeping up on the story progression. But have there been any clues/hints? Or is it just idle speculation?

[chrisdv]

I don't know. Do you want it to get weird? O.o

*cough*

No idea if there is speculation over Wally being Reverse Flash, but it's been my personal theory for about a year that he'd wind up becoming the Reverse Flash, having realised that he's had his marriage, children & place in the Flash legacy erased from history because of Barry.

The only hints have been Daniel West, brother of Iris, suddenly appearing in the series since the zero issue, but that's not really hinting towards Wally & there's been no reference to if he's Wally's father or uncle. Hell, we still don't have any answers as to Bart's relation to Barry in the DCnU, since they've still not interacted.

I WOULD READ THE HELL OUT OF THAT VERSION OF REVERSE FLASH.

Barry Allen: The Greatest Supervillain of the DCnU.

[wake_the_dragon]

If this Reverse Flash turns out to be Wally, I'll actually start reading Flash again.

[darkknightjrk]

Considering what they've left as clues, it's probably a character Manapul and Buccalato created named Dr. Darwin Elias, a scientific genius who started out as someone who helped Flash (he helped him figure out the Speed Force and some of the problems that might happen if he went too fast) but then ended up leading the crusade against the Flash after everything that went on in the run, turning the public against him.

[chrisdv]

...My version's better, Elias has been absolutely rubbish as a character.

[darkknightjrk]

Also, I'm gonna say it here--I like Barry in this series more than I liked Wally in what I've read of his solo series. *insert "come at me bro" meme here*

[q99]

That line strikes me as a "It sounded cooler in my head" one ^^

[akodo_rokku]

ahahaha
aaaahahahahahaha
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He looks like a New God on a bender. Less flashy-flashy and speedlines so we can actually see you, please.

[darkknightjrk]

"He looks like a New God on a bender."

You say that like it's a bad thing. :P

[theflames]

Heh, what a cynical bunch.

It looks pretty great, the guy almost looks like a force of nature rather than a guy in a suit! Here's hoping the other artists render him well.

Since the lines are working with his volume and form, it looks rather nice.

[auggie18]

In all fairness, this has Manapul art and everything looks good with Manapul art.

[theflames]

Very true, he's very talented... I'm very sure this won't translate well with other artists unfortunately.

[darkknightjrk]

"Since the lines are working with his volume and form, it looks rather nice."

It's interesting, I remember recently Brett Booth talked about this on his blog when showing off the designs he did for the New 52 Doctor Fate, talking about just because superhero costumes started out being simple and without ornate details, it doesn't mean they HAVE to stay that way, which I think is a really true point.

[thormonger]

I'm curious if that's the final costume or one where it's materializing around him. I look forward to finding out.

[reynard531]

I like how the ear pieces are pointed up. It's another nice touch on the whole reverse thing. Otherwise, it's in an interesting image with all that negative speed force around him. I just hope the costume is still yellow and red, like it's supposed to be.
