State of the Blog: Fall 2010 – Guest Bloggers Wanted!

20 Replies

There are a couple of changes coming up that are going to impact my blogging activity.

The first is that I’m starting a new job on Monday. I’ll be focused on getting up to speed (pun not intended), and the longer commute will leave me with less free time. And depending on their policy on personal internet use, I probably won’t be checking comics news on my breaks.

As for the second change, I’ve mentioned my wife from time to time, such as our Comic-Con costumes, her homemade Flash cupcakes, etc. I’ve been keeping quiet about something…well, here’s a recent photo: Continue reading →

Umm…Not For Sale?

I received an odd email yesterday on the webmaster account for Hyperborea.org:

My name is [removed] and i will like to purchase one of your product in your company. I need to order a Tread Mill and i wanted to know the price for one then i will be able to know the number i can order. You can also email me back with your website for me to choose from the one that suite my requirement. I will be hoping to hear from you soon.

It took me a second to realize it wasn’t just ordinary nonsense spam, but probably triggered by a search matching the writeup on the Cosmic Treadmill, the Flash’s time travel (and dimension travel) device!

Sorry, I don’t have one of those for sale…

My first impression of it was “Wally West!” and then I quickly remembered that Wally had nothing to do with Brightest Day and that we haven’t even really seen him (except for the one-off appearances in Magog and Secret Origins) since Flash Rebirth ended. My reaction obviously had to do with the belt and the way it’s been designed.

Flash #6 Pushed to November 10

8 Replies

DC’s website now shows a November 10 release date for Flash #6, and November 24 for Flash #7. No change so far on Flash #8 or #9, which are scheduled for the beginning and end of December.

Flash #6 concludes the opening story arc, “The Dastardly Death of the Rogues.” Flash #7 and #8 are Rogue Profile issues, spotlighting Captain Boomerang and Professor Zoom, drawn by guest artist Scott Kolins.

(Hat tip to Wayne Lippa for spotting the change.)
