Interview with Van Jensen at HeroesCon 2014!

We were able to sit down with FLASH co-writer Van Jensen at HeroesCon 2014 on behalf of Speedforce.org and TMStash.com, where we talked about Wally West and his development in the New 52, the present Future Flash storyline, Barry’s relationships with Patty and Iris, and more…including his projects PINOCCHIO: VAMPIRE SLAYER and THE LEG! Just click on the link below.

Just a couple of notes – this was recorded on the floor of HeroesCon, so please excuse the background noise.   And, yes, the first question was intentionally silly, but we do get down to business very quickly thereafter.  Thanks to Van Jensen for taking the time to meet with us at HeroesCon!

This Week: MPH, Digital Spin

This week sees the second issue of M.P.H., Mark Millar and Duncan Fegredo’s book about speedsters in Detroit.

In digital backissues, DC has started jumping around. Last week they released Flash #191, the Pied Piper spotlight. Issues #192-200, featuring “Run Riot” and “Blitz” by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins have been available for a while. But rather than pick up with Johns & Alberto Dose’s “Ignition” in #201, they’re jumping way ahead to Flash #238, the first part of “Fast Money” by Tom Peyer and Freddie Williams II featuring the perspective-altering villain Spin.
