“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!
