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 in December

23 September, 2009 (13:13) | Comics, Green Lantern | By: Alan

IGN has previews of the Blackest Night titles due in December, and there’s some big plot points revealed.
The solicit of Blackest Night #6 is being kept pretty quiet beyond seeing that we’ll be learning some of Nekron’s secrets (presumably relating to the white light we learned about this month and how he’s returned?), however the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Flash: Rebirth #2 Preview

29 April, 2009 (17:17) | Comics | By: Alan

DC Comics have posted up a new preview of the upcoming second issue of Flash: Rebirth on their official blog.  I love that variant cover
Its nice to see Mark Waid’s Savitar story being so heavily referenced so far in this series.  I’d figured his appearance in issue 1 would be more  a throwaway [...]

The Flash: Rebirth #1

2 April, 2009 (13:02) | Comics | By: Alan

Well, its here. With Barry Allen brought back in Final Crisis, DC lets the Rebirth dream team of Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver loose on redefining the Flash family for a new age.
My first immediate thought was that it was nice to see they reverted back to the original cover. The replacement [...]

DC May Solicits

18 February, 2009 (23:18) | Comics, Green Lantern | By: Alan

The May solicits are up at Newsarama, and there’s some interesting things in store that month.
First up, it looks like there’s no issue of GL.  Well that sucks, especially with them building up the Blackest Night at the moment.  I daresay the issue will be more than worth the wait, but I hope its the [...]

Flash Rebirth Preview

8 February, 2009 (22:24) | Comics | By: Alan

Despite the series not being released for another couple of months, DC still decided to open up the NYCC by giving us a sneak preview of what is sure to be one of their biggest hits this year, Flash: Rebirth.
I’ll start by saying that I’m presuming that this is very much a pre-release copy, and [...]
