The Flash #775: Beacon of Hate

[superboyprime]

"I've gotten some criticism about it but it's mostly positive with people seeing it's like an old-school comic book with people opening it up and seeing the Flash going on an adventure. You're going with him. You're going to have fun. As long as I'm writing Wally, he'll never get hurt again." - Jeremy Adams

The former Angel of Vengeance who lost his job for being too evil escaped vowing, well, vengeance. That's not a win, Wally.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I mean, it's technically a win, if you ignore all the bad stuff.

[owlbrigade1]

I mean, Flash got Eclipso to stop bugging him right there and then. So, win?

Also, please do close your cupboards guys. I say this as someone with a scar on her forehead from standing up straight into a cabinet door someone had left open.

It's a win for him, it's a loss for Hal Jordan on whatever planet Eclipso is gonna attack now he's fled into space

[dan_ingram]

"That's a problem for future Wally. Screw that guy!"

[super_fly]

I mean he just declared a general vow of retribution, unless he states his plan there's not really much to go on

[jgraygaming]

Skinny Mister Sinister is NOT a good look for Eclipso.

[tinygaylaura]

Give Starbreaker his body back he needs that

[cainofdreaming]

The guy's been disembodied often enough, he's used to it.

[mastermahan]

It's hard to look like a *less* butch Mister Sinister, but somehow he managed.

[iamrman]

It's all well and good for the writer to keep on about not doing anything to hurt Wally, but just wait until the next creative team comes along and mucks it all up!

Hell, Teen Titans Academy just brought back Heroes in Crisis.

[iamrman]

Good thing I don't read Teen Titans Academy then.

[tinygaylaura]

I mean it was never gone?

It's a thing that happened to Wally in canon, that hasn't changed

It's just that most writers prefer not to bring it up because it was a garbage story written by someone who had a psychiatrist say they didn't think trauma existed and portrayed every single character as an absolute moron

[lordultimus]

I'm just saying, why bring it back just for angst and shunning?

[blues32]

THAT'S Elcipso? He looks like a poor Mr. Sinister cosplay.

[tinygaylaura]

He's posessing the body of Starbreaker, a cosmic energy vampire and excuse you he was around long before Nathaniel Essex comitted his first abomination against nature and science so Sinister is doing a bad cosplay of HIM if anything

[zachbeacon]

Starbreaker? I thought he was inside Dr. Light.

(Why yes, I AM regretting that phrasing. Thank you for asking)

" .. I guess I don't go in for the anger thing.

" I mean, can you imagine - a superhero comics protagonist susceptible to influences that cause flawed behavior? What kind of reader in 2021 would want that? "

" None! "

" Exactly. "

So Wally West wakes up one day only to discover that the universe hates him for no apparent reason?

Honestly, after the last dozen or so years, I'm not sure I believe that he would notice.
