NewsOK’s Nerdage has posted two articles relating to Flash: Rebirth and Blackest Night. First, a short video interview with Geoff Johns (which I haven’t watched yet because I have no sound). Second, a write-up of Flash and Green Lantern in which Geoff Johns remarks that the two heroes will be the “cornerstones” of the DC Universe this year.
The most intriguing remark:
Barry Allen returning from the dead is “the worst thing that ever happened to him,” Johns said.
That puts an interesting perspective on it, and actually reminds me of sixth-season Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in which the title character comes back from the dead…and isn’t as happy about it as you might expect.
Hopefully this will lead to a musical issue.
I always envisioned Hal coming back ignorant of the fact that some dude was running around with his name for a year committing cosmic genocide in his name.
“Hey. You killed 3597 of my best buddies!” “I did?!”
Geoff Johns doesn’t write comics that way I would.
