19 Replies

Villains Month Reverse Flash finalThroughout their run on The Flash, Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato have hidden little gems along the way…little hints of things to come.  The payoffs have been excellent throughout – and this issue of The Flash…uh, Reverse Flash is a great example.  There are payoffs in this issue for things that have been simmering since the beginning of the series.  After reading this, all I could do was simply say, “Wow!”  So, let’s take a look at the origin of the New 52 Reverse Flash!

Trinity War Ends (?) With Justice League #23 (Review)

Leave a reply

IMG_0925Trinity War comes to a high point in this issue of Justice League…but to say that the war “ends” is a bit inaccurate as this leads directly into the upcoming Forever Evil storyline (and all those Villains Month issues coming up).  By now, there have been enough interviews with huge spoilers that most fans know how this ends, and who shows up at the end…but in this case it’s “all about the journey”, so let’s pick back up in the midst of that huge battle over Pandora’s Box.

The Reverse Flash Revealed!….(Review of Flash #23)

5 Replies

Flash #23 (final cover)The battle with the Reverse Flash has kicked into high gear…and at least we know going into this issue that he ISN’T Dr. Elias!  But, who IS the Reverse Flash?  We will find out at the end of this issue…but that’s something I won’t spoiler here.  What I can tell you is that this is an excellent, fast-paced, action-filled issue that is a must-read for any Flash fan.  Manapul and Buccellato have crafted a truly amazing new version of the Reverse Flash, one powerful enough to easily go toe-to-toe with the Fastest Man Alive.  And, once you have THAT name you will be begging for more…

SOME SPOILERS (NOT THAT ONE, THOUGH) AHEAD
