I don’t care what he haters says, I love this new run on Barry and can’t wait to read the next story arch.
Flash just makes me so damn happy!
I flipped through the “Dastardly Death of The Rogues” hardcover at the store today. It actually collects the secret files story and issue #s 1- 7, not #s 1 – 6 like the solicitation says. It looked good!
Also Flash related and out this week ‘Suicide Squad: Trial By Fire’ which collects John Ostrander’s earliest issues. A certain rogue is featured very prominently in that series. Also it’s the greatest series ever created.
