Though it makes him less distinctive amongst the DCnU Rogues, as now pretty much everyone will have powers and he isn't unusual. Kind of a shame.

I like Chunk well enough, though I have to admit to not being a huge fan of that era of the Flash. So that kind of colours my opinion on all those characters. Still, he was nicely off-beat and I appreciate that he wasn't a typical sidekick. Thank you!

The Flash is one of the few titles still offering the 1:25 and 1:200 covers. I’d interested in knowing if the variant covers offered make any significant contribution to these numbers.

And I'm not just saying that because he said the Top is his favourite Rogue :> (that absolutely flabbergasted me, by the way, and I started fangirling like an idiot). My favourite Marvel character is Pyro, which people have also always found bizarre. My husband digs Rom the Spaceknight, so we can sympathize. I wouldn't think it's weird at all to be a fan of Iron Fist, even before his revival. DiDio’s a pretty good guy, I like him.

If I *wanted* super powered homicidal maniacs I'd be one of the many Gothic Knight fans rather than a Flash fan. Make Flash gory and I'll have to admit that others were right that Wally is best kept MIA in the Flash book. We don't need another Joker or Mr. Freeze.

Nobody tops the Top! If he's brought back into the DCnU, we can only hope he'll keep his goofy appearance and batshit insanity. Unlike the other Rogues, he won't even need to suffer a retcon of his powers! Damn right! Nobody tops the Top!

I tend to like the people who are pulled to those third and fourth stringers. I also firmly believe all it takes is a write who is passionate about the character to change people's minds. For years people looked at me funny for saying my favorite Marvel character was Iron Fist. Also I've tried to pitch a Wild Dog story to Dan Dido at two different conventions. One day he'll have to let me write it. Everyone character has reached out and found an audience somewhere. I tend to like the people who are pulled to those third and fourth stringers.
