I know it seems a bit odd to talk about a Marvel book on a Flash website, but stay with me a moment. There are two series currently running, one at DC and one at Marvel, in which mental illness has been portrayed in a major plot line. For DC, it’s HEROES IN CRISIS, with a tragedy occurring at a mental health facility for superheroes called Sanctuary. For Marvel, it’s THE UNSTOPPABLE WASP, in which the lead character is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. So, how do the two story lines match up? Follow us after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Writer Joshua Williamson has found the secret to wrapping up an arc…don’t try to wrap up everything in a nice, neat little bow. There are consequences…and some BIG changes in the Flash’s world by the time this issue is done. The Trickster has upped his game and may have become the Scarlet Speedster’s greatest nemesis…at least until Zolomon returns. Just how does “The Greatest Trick of All” play out? Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
What can I say except…wow! Okay, let’s try this…Trickster has turned into the most formidable Rogue of all, at least for the present. That’s it. James Jesse has pulled “The Greatest Trick of All”, but how he did it is just as important as what he did. In a world turned upside down by his antics, Trickster is in top form…can’t say as much for our favorite speedster, though. This is a great arc so far, so…wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
How do you make The Trickster, the OG Trickster from the Silver Age, into someone truly formidable and frightening? Take one part James Jesse and add one part Joshua Williamson, that’s how! As we segue from the Force Quest into a new arc, we find the Trickster’s impact on Central City…and it could well be the worst thing that Barry could ever imagine! But, don’t let that get you down, be happy! Be happy, okay? Just. Be. Happy. Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
