Flash Rebirth #6

26 February, 2010 (16:59) | Comics | By: Alan

So the end of the story is finally here.  Granted, we new through Blackest Night that Barry cheered up, Wally, Bart and co were still around, and Thawne was locked up in Iron Heights, so really it was just seeing how they got there.
Scarily I first talked about the solicit for this issue back in [...]

Blackest Night: The Flash

25 February, 2010 (14:07) | Comics, Green Lantern | By: Alan

I must admit, I think the initial run of three mini-series that tied into Blackest Night had an advantage over these later entries.  With the first 4 issues concerned only with Black Lanterns attacking and building up to Nekron’s return, they were freer to tell a story within themselves, unshackled by any other events in [...]

Whatever Happened to The Flash?

23 December, 2009 (17:01) | Comics | By: Alan

Its been an interesting week for fans of The Flash, with the announcement that not only will there no longer be a Wally West co-feature in the main Flash title when it relaunches next year, but also the Kid Flash book that was supposed to accompany it has also been scrubbed.
Its quite disappointing news as [...]

Blackest Night #5

30 November, 2009 (15:17) | Comics, Green Lantern | By: Alan

Since the two are closely linked, I’ll start by covering Green Lantern #48 which finishes filling in the story of how the Corps leaders get together, as Atrocitus and Larfleeze are saved from the Black Lanterns on Okaraa by the timely arrival of Hal, Sinestro, Carol, Indigo-1 and Saint Walker (with Ganthet and Sayd along [...]

Flash: Rebirth #5

20 November, 2009 (09:26) | Comics | By: Alan

After some quite lengthy delays, Flash: Rebirth issue 5 finally came out this week.
I’ll say it now, I think this is the best issue of Rebirth so far.  The pace finally felt right to me, and it built on the Zoom stuff from issue 4 well, and resolved some of the lingering subplots.
Most of the [...]

Blackest Night: Titans #3 & Green Lantern #47

4 November, 2009 (12:40) | Comics, Green Lantern | By: Alan

Alongside Blackest Night #4, it was a big week last week for Blackest Night with the final part of the Titans mini-series as well as the latest parts of the War of Light as Hal and co contend with the Black Lanterns on Korugar.
The highlight of Green Lantern #47 was undoubtedly the War of Light [...]

Flash: Rebirth #4

28 August, 2009 (09:35) | Comics | By: Alan

Its been a little while since Flash: Rebirth #3 hit the stands. Ending with the reveal of Professor Zoom being behind all Barry’s recent troubles, it was obvious that the series had hit a turning point.
There’s very obvious parallels with Green Lantern: Rebirth here.  In that series, Sinestro was revealed as the villain at [...]

Adventure Comics #1 Preview

1 July, 2009 (21:38) | Comics | By: Alan

DCU Blog had a treat for us today, with the first look at the new Superboy-starring Adventure Comics.
It looks like a great start to the series, with Kon in much the same place as he was at the beginning of Geoff’s Titans run.  In Smallville, trying to live the life Clark had growing up.  Although [...]

Flash Rebirth #6 Solicit

16 June, 2009 (10:22) | Comics | By: Alan

Ok, its no surprise, but Geoff Johns has confirmed this isn’t the final cover for Rebirth #6 (fairly safe money that the gradient will be replaced by a group shot of the Flash family, including Wally in his new suit?), but still, the solicit is worth a mention.
The one thing that’s been leaping out from [...]

Flash Rebirth #3

12 June, 2009 (18:33) | Comics | By: Alan

This issue is largely concerned with events immediately after last issue’s big revelation.  In fact in terms of time covered, you can easily imgine this whole issue takes place in probably less than half an hour.  It rattles along at a fair old pace.
Barry has been revealed as the new Black Flash, and the JLA [...]
