I’m going to be cruel without real malice and opine that saving someone he loves at the cost of many should be right up Barry’s alley. 🙁 *coughs*
Nice artwork yet again.
“…DC Comics’ hottest new Super Villain!”
Aren’t they all?
I mean, from the looks of what they always write on these solicits each time…
From now one that term should be reserved for fire based villians. At least then we get a pun out of it.
I was thinking the same thing. Like, where is Heatwave?
Just a note not related to anything other than Flash and my fanaticism thereof:
I have high speed internet.
At first I was elated (I was able to go into store websites and look at a page of merchandise pictures in mere seconds rather than hours! It was like suddenly getting hit with lightning and obscure chemicals! Even pictured coming on here and typing in speed talk.)
The bad part is that I managed to go through every Flash site I ever wanted to visit and revisit (including Fan Art) in one night because…well, there just isn’t anything new of Wally to find from the past six months. Put a real damper on my excitement: like winning the million dollar lottery only to have the banks crash an hour later and a million dollars become worth one dollar.
I tried Comixology…the only Wally stories there are ones I have seen before and mostly own the trades of. Hardly any Messner-Loebs or Baron. What I did find that was free and that I hadn’t seen before only managed to make me angry at the glorification of Barry together with the silence over Wally all over again. (Flash 101.)
Current merchandise is all of Barry’s Flash.
So why I’m thankful to be able to window shop Amazon and online stores at last… it just ain’t the same without Wally West to find and cherish and basically go ga-ga over.
Now I have yet another reason to growl at DC Ed….they ruined something I’d waited a decade to have.

Hit unexpectedly by Citizen Cold’s gun.
Still trying to figure out whether that’s the Folded Man who calls Iris “fiesty” (spelled wrong) or somebody else.
I’m still trying to figure out HOW Iris managed to HIT the Folded Man in the first place!!!
Iris is a BAMF! 😛
Besides, even a Folded Man has a flat side and that hunk of whatever she was weilding also apparently sported enough of the two dimensions to whack baddie up the noggin and into lala land. ;P
