The Flash #17 - "So Within"

[laughing_tree]

I read -- or reread in many cases -- a lot of the best Flash stories out there and I kind of slowly realized that there's this really interesting friction between stories which start from the perspective of "Well, he can run really fast and you don't need to understand why, that's not important, just watch him go and do some stuff." And there's another separate canon of stories which are all about "We need to lean heavily into understanding how and why he does this stuff," which relies upon a whole ton of cod science and really getting into the nitty-gritty and the detail of the why and the how of it. And both of those ideas, both of those approaches, have their virtues but they also annoy me for different reasons, and it kind of slowly came to me that there is a third route... -- Si Spurrier

The New Gods #2 (2024-) is comings and goings.

[thanekos]

Issue #1 was prophecy after Darkseid's passing - the coming of " .. the last avatar.. on [the great steed's] hooves shall follow the reckoning of all " - and charges - Highfather of New Genesis tasking Orion to kill that recently born avatar, and Orion tasking Scott Free to hide that child from him.

Issue #2 opened on the " new hand of darkness " Metron'd related to Highfather - introduced them, emboldened by Darkseid no longer being, as their own thing.

In their own context, they and a leader of theirs were rendered with different art - shown as shadowy menace in #1, they were exposed matter-of-factly in #2.

( Their leader had the focus. )
