“Angles” Review of THE FLASH #3

This volume of THE FLASH is not for the faint of heart. It’s a mixture of horror with psychedelic visions – layers of reality that keep peeling back for Wally West to find. Only, these layers of reality are not so inviting. Wally is gaining new powers but losing touch with reality at the same time. Max Mercury and Bart Allen show up in this issue…and that’s a great thing for a lot of fans. But, what happens to them in this trippy world? Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!

“The Coming Dread” Review of JAY GARRICK: THE FLASH #2

I keep saying this – I’m a big fan of Jay Garrick and have been for decades. Getting to see him as the lead in his own series for the first time since 1949 is a special treat. This series gives us a new speedster in Judy Garrick, but still maintains that classic Flash vibe that long-time fans still love and appreciate. Throw in a HUGE mystery that may have implications for all of the DCU and you’ve got a great story! Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!

“Double Juggle” Review of SPEED FORCE #1

It is SO good to see DC give the Flash Family more titles – it’s been a long time coming, and now we have not one, not two, but THREE titles directly tied to our favorite speedsters (and that’s without counting all the super-group titles). In this series, we see Wallace West and Avery Ho getting some well-deserved spotlight. There are cameos a plenty is this inaugural issue. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!

“Stepping Out” Review of THE FLASH #2

We are in the second issue of a very different kind of FLASH story – one of cosmic horror. Wally West is dealing with all sorts of strange happenings, and seems to be developing new powers while Rogues are also moving up the high-tech scale. It’s a mystery inside an enigma, and a whole new approach that redefines the Speed Force and almost everything you think you know about The Flash. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!

“The More Things Change…” Review of JAY GARRICK: THE FLASH #1

I have been a fan of Jay Garrick since the early JLA/JSA crossovers of the 1960s. Any time Jay or the other original Justice Society heroes showed up, I was on cloud nine. So, getting to see a NEW SERIES (even a limited one) of the ORIGINAL Flash is a special treat for this old reviewer. Seeing that Jeremy Adams, fresh off of a terrific run with Wally West in THE FLASH, is writing this book, makes it even more fun. This is all part of the “Dawn of DC” initiative, bringing in some new twists to the old canon. That includes a sidekick who never appeared in the Golden Age…but who appears to fit in perfectly here. What do we learn about The Boom? How will she adjust to a world that has moved on by 60 years since she last saw her loved ones? And, who is Doctor Elemental? Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!

SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!
