ComiXology has made another change in their Flash/Impulse re-issue schedule. For a while they were releasing three issues of the 1987 series starring Wally West each week, then two issues of that series and two of Impulse. Recently, they caught up to where the comics released for the Flash 101 sale left off, and pause the Flash but kept Impulse going. This week, Flash is back, but they’re releasing just one issue of each 1990s speedster series: Flash #84 and Impulse #39.
Flash #84: Fresh out of the dual wringers of “The Return of Barry Allen” and “Back on Track,” Wally West carries on protecting Keystone City, this time going up against a blade-armored mercenary known as Razer.
Impulse #39: The Trickster returns, pulling in threads from the organized crime, toxic dumping and flood storylines.
Update: Here’s the Impulse summary from ComiXology (I can’t believe I forgot this one): “The Trickster is back in town. And you can bet he’s got something up his sleeve when, working with Impulse, he tricks Manchester’s rival crime families into believing the toxic waste they’ve been dumping in town is actually a formula that can turn metal into gold!”
@SpeedForceOrg The Tickster vs The Flea: an extremely bloody battle! #iamsosorry
I liked that Flash story (Razer) if mostly for the beginning with the new hairstyle. Could empathize with him there…new hairstyles are a scary business.
Still looks totally weird to see Bart with a crew cut while standing behind him is a lady who I suppose Marge Simpson was modeled after.
On a side note: comparing the new Superman and Star Trek movie poster previews to that Impulse poster….
I’d rather buy Impulse.
More Peg Bundy, I think.
I’d forgotten about that show.
damn you for reminding me of it. Years of therapy wasted. 😛
I’ve actually read that issue.
