Quick Thoughts: Twitter Through 2009-04-05 (Flash: Rebirth Week)

  • Why Las Vegas is a BAD idea for Comic-Con
  • One thing’s for sure: there’s a ton of online buzz over Flash: Rebirth.
  • Odd: Saturday WonderCon report has more views than Friday even though Friday’s been up longer.
  • Please let this not be an early April Fool’s joke: RT @warrenellis: Just heard from DC that John Cassaday has finished PLANETARY #27.
  • Just one day more to Flash: Rebirth!
  • Barry Allen is back…and it’s the worst thing that could ever happen to him!
  • Anyone know what timezone gets its comics first? Does Europe get its American comics on Wednesdays?
  • When does my LCS open? How early can I justify taking lunch? Didn’t think I’d be this excited about Flash: Rebirth.
  • This week’s comics: Flash: Rebirth, Noble Causes, Buffy and Farscape
  • Flash: Rebirth #1 = 90% excellent, 5% metacommentary, 5% WTF-worthy annoying retcon.
  • Crazy idea: What if Blackest Night and Flash: Rebirth are linked, and there’s a Blackest Night: Flash special coming up?
  • And apparently Geoff Johns never read Mark Waid’s The Life Story of the Flash. We’ve never seen Barry’s life before he was Flash? *headdesk*
  • Noble Causes #40: bittersweet but fitting end to series. At least Dynamo 5 is still going.
  • The more I think about Flash: Rebirth #1, the more certain elements just bug the heck out of me.
  • I don’t want Flash to be grim and gritty. The Rogues, yes, but the Flash should be bright and heroic.
  • Flash SEO: Always remembering to write “Barry Allen” and “Wally West” instead of just “Barry” and “Wally.”
  • Funny. Retweeting @fullofwhoa: Barry Allen’s most exciting adventure to date.
  • Weekend goal: catch up on comics that I’m 4+ months behind on and decide whether I should keep buying them.
  • Finally pre-ordered Girl Genius vol.8! Plug: www.girlgeniusonline.com
