Ambush Bug on Planet Flash

1 Reply

For those who missed it, the latest issue of Ambush Bug: Year None #2 parodies the “Planet Flash” storyline from Mark Waid’s The Wild Wests. The citizens of Savoth call for help, but instead of a Flash, they get Ambush Bug.

In the 6-page sequence, he tries to protect Savoth from Mr. Nebula (a parody of Galactus who, rather than eating planets, redesigns them — and has horribly tacky taste) and his harbinger.

It’s…very bizarre. Absurd in both the everyday and technical meanings of the word.

(Thanks to Comic Bloc poster BESTBUY for pointing this one out.)

Emergency Stop: Full Run?

Rumor column Lying in the Gutters seems to think that the upcoming Emergency Stop trade paperback contains the entire Morrison/Millar run on The Flash from 1997. And considering that Amazon is currently quoting a list price of $60(!), I certainly hope so! For that price — heck, even for the discounted price of $37.80 — it ought to be both complete and a hardcover!

It’s still listed as shipping in January, so with any luck we’ll get more solid information in DC’s next round of solicitations.

On a related note, the first real substantive post I made on this blog was a summary of the Morrison/Millar run. I don’t remember what price Amazon was quoting back then.
