I have preordered all of my comics (the comic shop in my town only gets books if you preorder them 2 months in advance) and starting in Januray, I'll now actually get them all on time. So, I just deal with December and I'm all free.Information Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397150034120296016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-32978966470626494562011-11-28T00:04:18.894+00:002011-11-28T00:04:18.894+00:00Hi Claude, thanks so much for the con story ... yo...Hi Claude, thanks so much for the con story ... you must indeed have been chuffed to see this comic apppear. It seems Manapul and Buccellato are fired up for a long run and I couldn't be happier.<br /><br />(Well, they could give me a Wally series ...)<br /><br />I'm hoping that the announced JSA series will be wonderfully classic,a proper pre-Crisis Earth 2 book (just call me Nura Nal).<br /><br />Jonathan, I'm not surprised by your weariness. WHisper it, but I think DC have finally got a Flash series with (excuse me) legs.<br /><br />Info Geek, it's time for mail order or digital ...Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-67028507866107801732011-11-26T04:20:25.550+00:002011-11-26T04:20:25.550+00:00I would love to read this.

However, in the ever confusing adventures of my local bookstore, they don't have it this week, even though they got their comic book orders in on Wedsenday. So, they got last week's issues instead of this week's and even more confusing, they were missing their copies of Batman and Wonder Woman #3. Argh!<br /><br />But back on the topic, good review and I hope to actually read this by next week.Information Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397150034120296016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-35947251162533527182011-11-25T12:08:26.410+00:002011-11-25T12:08:26.410+00:00I'll have to pick up the first three issues of...I'll have to pick up the first three issues of this -- I'd been avoiding it because, quite frankly, I was exhausted by Flash-Cancellation Syndrome, caused by all the short-lived Flash books of the last five years.Jonathan Stoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751600613741713162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-59119215011158633322011-11-25T02:05:38.144+00:002011-11-25T02:05:38.144+00:00I met Francis Manapul back in Feruary in New Orlea...I met Francis Manapul back in Feruary in New Orleans at a two day convention. I asked why the Flash was only getting twelve issues. He said that it had completed its run. Har har, I laughed at his joke, but you don't just pull Barry Allen out of limbo to cast him away after twelve issues. What's next for him, I asked as a curious fanboy should. He told me that he wasn't at liberty to say. Is he gone forever, I prodded further. He repeated himself. Irritating. So, I paid him a hundred dollars for a black and white watercolor of Superboy and Krypto and forgot about the whole thing. Then along came the editorial surgery and I had my answer. The Flash is back and my initial disgust with the wholesale dumping of DC's mighty history and convoluted continuity gave way to something an aging fanboy can really appreciate. A better personal economy. Sadly, for me, Superman is dead and gone. The JLA and JSA are history. Jonah Hex has become some kind of thug for hire (I know..But there's a difference) and only Flash and Green Lantern seem to have stayed the course, in spite of some minor changes in costume and plot. I can't countenance that thing called Action Comics, cut down before that mythical number one thousand could be reached. Just when Paul Cornell had pulled me back, the new DC direction chases me away. Over all, I hate the new stuff. Something like The Flash, though, with an artist/writer (which I usually detest) with such a splendid design sense deserves a look in until they hand it off to Rob Liefeld to destroy. <br />And, damn!, but you should have seen how fast the lad could paint.Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831507399345911439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-64048605074312466002011-11-25T00:44:38.014+00:002011-11-25T00:44:38.014+00:00I reckon so - but I like Barry more at the moment,...I reckon so - but I like Barry more at the moment, as Kate Kane makes poor cousin Bette dress like a boilerman.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-3957943145079708372011-11-25T00:43:18.119+00:002011-11-25T00:43:18.119+00:00This book and Batwoman are the two mainstream supe...This book and Batwoman are the two mainstream superhero books in the New52 that best exemplify the spirit of something that's actually New.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.com
