Why I Like the Flash Contest Entries, Part Two
A few days ago we posted the winning entries in our “Why I Like the Flash” contest, but would be remiss if we didn’t showcase the others as well, because they’re all quite good. Without further ado, here’s part two (of three) of the contest entries we received.
Why I Love the Flash – Contest Winners
Speed Force held a contest to celebrate our fifth anniversary in June, and though it took a while to finish (sorry about that), things are finally back on track. We are pleased to announce the winners, and to share everyone’s stories!
The question posed to readers was simply why do you like the Flash?, and thirteen people responded with some wonderful entries. There were beautiful stories, photographs, and fan art which were a delight to see. We will reprint them all here for everyone to enjoy, broken up into several posts for ease of reading.
Flashy iPad Billboard
A few months back, I saw this iPad billboard out of the corner of my eye and thought of this Jay Garrick/Golden Age Flash statue.
Apple has since rolled out a summer version of the same ad, which gives you an idea of how long it took me to post this.
