>>83597090
Oh nice catch
I like it
>>83597102
Yeah, him and Singh are togethor
>>83597074
so shitty art. so sad
>>83597110
I blame the colourist (because I've liked Carmine's art in the past) and the lightning DC feels the need to give Flash now.
OG Thawne is back without that shitty Booth costume
So how long till Jay do you think?
So far this has probably been the most recap-y of all the Rebirths
>>83597146
Probably with the JSA. Either way, too long.
>>83597157
But from Barry's viewpoint.
>>83597108
>>83597119
Ohhhh. This was in Rebirth before he met Wally. He hasn't met Wally yet. Makes more sense now. He was remembering the pre52 stuff.
It seems like they took away the lines from barry's costume. I just wish they'd take away the lightning too.
>>83597159
I assume he'll pop up in here before that since Johns said he wants to flesh characters out in supporting casts before moving them to main books. Maybe get his powers and memories back from the speedforce storm.
Also I just wanna see Allan try and train Simon and Jessica before he goers back to the JSA
>>83597174
So thats why they inserted the ex wife fails to recognise him into rebirth
>>83597159
>Flash Fact
Ayyyyy nice.
>>83597100
wtf wrong with him
>>83597182
Oh wow, I forgot about that. Man Wally is gonna be schooling Barry in this
>>83597159
>we're being watched
Is it just me or has this been said in literally every Rebirth issue? God, we get it, Watchmen are happening.
>>83597214
>Allan try and train Simon and Jessica
Damn, that would be so great. But I'd rather Humphries not write Alan desu.
>>83597050
Godspeed design is awful, I don't even get what's going on on that's costume
>>83597233
Has it? I only noticed it in the actual one shot and in this, but in this the line (and scene) is taken from the one shot.
>>83597159
>Flash Fact
Aw man. Got something in my eye here.
>>83597025
Oh they went with hideous art for this... well saved me time.
>>83597206
OH, SNAP! This reminds me of the whole "Barry Allen made me the Flash" from Geoff Johns' The Flash: Rebirth, but now inverted with Wally bringing Barry back and making him the Flash.
>>83597247
That can't be the Prof. right?
It's Godspeed.
>>83597182
>>83597174
Man I was really excited for Wally and Barry and but it seems like they're writing him straight out of it on a really weak reason.
Next
>>83597110
I like the art, it feels dynamic somehow
>>83597264
Prof. was the first thing I thought of too, but it's probably Godspeed.
>>83597251
He's a white costumed Flash so I assume he is gonna go with the " I came from heaven to bring judgment" shtick
>>83597216
Well, yeah. It's not like it's a failing on Linda's fault, she isn't mainlining the speed force, which is probably what let Barry break through and remember Wally.
This Linda literally never met Wally before that moment.
>>83597265
Wallys gonna be in this and Titans
>>83597271
>Meta Cold
Thought we were done with that?
Also surprised they didn't update this cover with Wally
>>83597286
The Flash #1 is on the printers now.
>>83597285
Yeah, if this Wally wasn't old enough to be The Flash yet then he's 19. Since he became The Flash on his 20th birthday.
Though he has the memories of a man in his early 30s.
>>83597303
And considering 30-10=20 that's just right
>>83597286
It looks like they're writing him out of this when he tells Barry he's off to see the Titans and they'll meet back up when Wally feels like it.
>>83596994
>40.3 MB

>>83597323

>>83597331

Are you just makng up headcanon now. Fucking hell
>>83597325
Yes.
>>83597350
Williamson said in a pre-Rebirth interview that Black Wally is getting trained by a speedster that hadn't been introduced yet.
So unless its Jay who's yet to return its assuredly Wally
>>83597108
>Infantino Theater
I thought I recognized that name.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmine_Infantino
>>83597286
>Wallys gonna be in this
That's not what it looks like from the issue and Khouri said otherwise.
>>83597055
Good to see the actual Reverse Flash suit again.
Hope they stick with it in the present too, it's a perfect design, never needed to be changed.
>>83597362
>So unless its Jay who's yet to return its assuredly Wally
No, it's not assuredly Wally. Williamson is introducing a bunch of speedsters in his first arc. It could be any one of them also.
>>83597381
You mean a bunch of newbies are going to teach another newbie?
>>83597366
>thought
Anon, please.
>>83597397
I will think?
Nice art, lousy writing.
>>83597362
It's probably going to be Godspeed in disguise(or out of disguise, I guess) to create dramatic tension.
>>83597390
No I don't mean that will happen. I mean that could happen. Maybe he'll reintroduce Max and get him to train Wally, who knows. All I'm saying is it's not assuredly Wally who's going to train him.
>>83597277
yep, but its just not beautiful. like manapul
>>83597408
I was acallling you out at not recognising Infantino.
>>83597182
So Wally is still "The Flash" too then, good to know.
>>83597247
You know they probably shouldn't make Godspeed look so much like Zoom when he's GOING FAST. If I had just read this without knowing the solicits I would of immdiately just assumed "o hey, Thawne is up to bad shit again!"
>>83597463
They shouldn't have created Godspeed at all. We don't need another evil speedster. We've had what, 4 different arcs in the past few years featuring them.
>>83597182
>"I'll use the Speed Force to manifest a new costume!"
So they're gonna keep Wally being a Speed Force Wizard? That'd be one way to keep both Flashes. Barry's faster, but Wally can do more with his speed.
>>83597233
Literally only said one time in one issue but sure.
>>83597485
Yeah really, if they really had to start with an evil Speedster, they should of just used the oppertunity to reintroduce Thawne's classic backstory and powers as he also remembers shit, since no one really cares for Nu52 Thawne.
>>83597206
Damn that's a fucking sexy page
Huh. The first part of this was weak, but once Wally showed up it was pretty enjoyable. Art is alright, but the artist (or maybe this is a colorist thing?) clearly cannot draw crossed arms: >>83597100 >>83597232
>>83597206
dat homage to Flash of Two Earths tho.
>>83597206
Manly tears
>>83597218
I fucking love this page.
>>83597499
As someone who dropped Venshitty's run very early on what even was New52 Thawne's deal?
Liking the art.
>>83596994
OH SHIT NIGGA DIS FLASH NIGGA ALL HERE AND SHEE-IT
>>83597110
Can DCfags only appreciate house style? Fuck you, art is good enough.
>>83597571
So his powers are Hunter Zolomon's powers. He slows down everyone else and it makes him relatively faster or whatever. But he's still Speed Force connected and can time travel so whoopdeedoo for that.
His deal is he tried to use his powers in the future as like...a warlord? Or something? To take over Central City. But the people rebelled against him in the name of The Flash.
No, no one knows why he made a reverse Flash costume BEFORE he ever had anything to do with The Flash.
>>83597693
> Can DCfags only appreciate house style? Fuck you, art is good enough.
No, fuck you. Art is "normal, ok". Lazy artist and inker.
>>83597414
This. Hopefully this book picks up in future issues.
>>83597182
>I forgot we could use speed force that way
This is so bullshit.Love it.
The ink wasn't too good in this issue. But other than that, a quality issue!
>>83597708
Damn that sounds terrible, I hate that this run clearly requires you to have read the previous run to be able to follow what's going on, like with Barry's dad as a free man and whatnot.
>>83597618
What did he mean by this?
>>83597492
Maybe
I don't think DC is smart enough to take this direction, though
>>83597247
Good issue but didn't have much to offer.
Aquaman storytime when?
>>83597791
But that's canon way of using Speed Force.
>>83597108
Barry is with Iris now? Not that lady cop?
>>83598185
That ship sailed years ago anon
>>83598197
Got it. I ditched Flash after Forever Evil.
>>83598185
He is solo player now.
>>83597232
>Superman once told me there is no laughing in the Batcave
You laugh and Batman keeps frowning until you're embarrassed.
This was...underwhelming. Not only writing Wally out like that was stupid but also the art completely killed the emotional weight of reunion.
I'm giving this an arc. to go but if they waste the mine of potential like this, I'm out of the Rebirth entirely.
>>83597232
Is Barry trying to take off an invisible shirt?
>>83598185
He's trying to hook up with Iris now that Patty's gone because Wally coming back into the universe made everyone want to fuck their soulmates.
>>83597016
jesus christ what the fuck is that face
>>83597174
I'm kind of lost on Wally's age. If he's the same age he was Pre-Flashpoint, doesn't that mean he's the same age as Barry now, or even older? Yet Linda is now much younger.
>>83597232
>Superman once told me theres no laughing in the batcave
heh
>>83597218
>>83597232
I am here for the Barry-Bruce team-up. This is great.
>there's no laughing in the batcave
Bruce has a fucking cow in the batcave.
>>83597218
Lol.. nothing ever ends.
>>83597368
Eh, he won't be part of the cast, but I'm sure he'll make appearances often enough.
>>83597182
That Wally face in the bottom panel reminds me of Jojo, and I never even read that.

>>83597252
From what I can remember off hand Detective Comics (albeit it looks like the case with that is Gentry, rather than Watchmen), Action Comics and Aquaman all had a variation of we're being watched. It's not the same literal line, but still. Feels a bit weird having it mentioned so much.
>>83597159
>Something else
>Someone else
Jesus
>>83597074
That black kid can't be Nu-Wally. Look at how fucking far his hairline is pushed back.
>>83599914
I mean, Iris looks like a man. The art is weird.
>>83598925
But you're not allowed to laugh, anon.
>>83597074
>>83599914
Is it Lebron James?
>>83600077
Tell that to Dick
>>83597286
He has the look, but it looks like he's carrying his cold gun.
>>83597218
Yes, Bruce. Joker's behind everything. Joe Chill? That was actually Joker in disguise. Your parents? They were both Joker. Remember that time Talia raped you? Yep, that was Joker too.
>>83597247
Pls be Zoom
>>83597074
So I'm guessing Barry's getting the same visions of seeing their (altetnate) pasts or futures as Wonder Woman showed in WW Rebirth?
>>83597206
>Flash Fact:
This page is so AWESOME..
>>83597232
>Manhattan leaving traces of his strange Cherenkov radiation
I'm seriously thrilled that they acknowledge this stuff, considering he gave people cancer from radiation exposure in Watchmen.
>>83597247
I know it's Godspeed but I want it to be Prof Zoom
>>83596994
You're great, OP! Thank you!
>>83597218
>Batman is a scientist
Homer please
>>83597174
=( That's not how anyone is suppose to run. Heel striking the floor first is bad.
>>83601075

No he didn't
>>83601075
But I thought that was just manipulation from Ozymandias to exile dr.manhattan?
>>83598802
Read the main rebirth special, he notes that he's physically younger though he has all his memories.

This was a great start. I hope they can carry that momentum through the rest of the run. It's been far too long since I last had my favorite DC hero on my pull list.
>>83597065
I love that the last few panels are homages to the same scene in Barry's first appearance.
>>83597108
>Infantino Theater
Nice.
>>83597119
Second panel reminds me of this cover, which I know is an homage to something else, though I can't place it.
>>83597206
I'm digging the parallels here with Barry bringing Jay back into the game in Flash #123 and the speech Jay gave in Flash: Rebirth.
It wasn't bad but it wasn't particularly good. All just recap really. Green Arrow has been the only good one of these one-shots.
Glad they gave Wally his speed force suit though and he'll still be the Flash.
So wait, why is the Speedforce a no-go area for research? What makes it so much more dangerous than everything else to S.T.A.R. Labs and Argus?
that was actually pretty good. if they made the rest of the ongoing a team up with wally i would be pretty stoked.
>>83602127
You could accidentally time travel and fuck up the past, for one thing.
So was this good or not? I can't tell since it felt like 90% recape of Rebirth #1. just from Barry's POV
>>83597016
This is gross.
>>83597074
Revolver Ocelot
>>83597055
Thank god for the costume change.
>>83597136
>>83597145
More hugs between those two pls
>>83597218
I love this.
So, how long until it's revealed that the Watchmen references were all red herrings?
This was damn good. Probably the best written Barry has been since the start of New 52.
>>83597016
Rape face.
>>83602951
Mr Oz I think is the only red herring.
Wait, didn't the New52 flash story cover this exact thing?
Is this a retailing of the same events?
>>83603187
It's shortly before, and shortly after Rebirth, but from Barry's POV
>>83597277
Agree. It's its own style, but it isn't bad.
>>83603411
my only gripe is that the inks are a little too thick
I like the art, writing is eh. Hopefully it gets more interesting in the next issues.
Thanks OP.
>>83601655

>>83597055

Yeah, hope they keep the red lightnings if he ever come back.

>Barry "I'll snap your goddamn neck faster than Wonder Woman" Allen.
>>83597232
man, this artist really cannot draw someone crossing their arms.
>>83604293
he really should avoid it and just go akimbo sometimes
>>83597206
Why does wally have such a ridiculously pronounced jawline? It looks so weird
so.....
Watchmen is Canon
Dr. Manhattan did new 52
then he undid it cause it sucked?
I am so lost
>>83604393
he had quite the chin in a lot of his run, might just be a reference to that
>>83604427
he didn't undo anything, it's unraveling because he's incompetent and can't beat speed force
>>83597368
So uh... Young Wally = Black; OG Wally = Ginger. Is that correct?
>>83604696
That is correct.
>>83604470
>it's unraveling because he's incompetent and can't beat speed force
wait wut...
So Big Blue Cock did the new 52..for reasons
And the Flash or Speed force undid it BECAUSE OF OTHER REASONS?
>>83602733
Jeez, that costume looks so shitty. On the other hand why does it look like he is piggybacking on Barry?
>>83604847
Flash didn't actually undo it but things are leaking through seemingly due to Wally breaking through. Time will tell on the specifics though, it's supposed to be ambiguous right now.
>>83597108
>Barry being a whole day early for a movie
lel
>>83604906
AH OK so we're suppose to be lost
Did they state explicitly why BBC did the new 52 yet? or how?
>>83597206
This spread is fucking fantastic on the floppy, too.
>>83597206
Here you'll notice Wally breaking his leg in half while running.
>>83605046
What we've gotten so far was recapped here in this issue, he interfered somehow when things were more malleable after Flashpoint.
It's a slow burn thing that will apparently take like a year or two before we get the full story.
>bad art

Sucks, I wanted to like it

>>83597108

>>83597055
It was meeeeeeeeeeeeee Barry, when?
I didn't think this would be very good but I loved it. need to think about it from a non-fanservice pov though to get a real judgement. the art is growing on me.
>>83597110
Are you serious? This is good art.
>>83597145
This is so sexy.
>>83606350
I think the fanservice would have done more for me if we hadn't already gotten most of this from the Rebirth special. Not even having the Wallys properly meet here seems like a missed opportunity too.
>>83606597

nah he's gonna be a pawn used by Thawne in some JUSTASPLANNED something.and if we can get a Wally book Abra Kadabra starts up there

appreciate it OP
>>83607637
>yfw it's really Johns letting Williamson start working on the Zoom Corps idea he had years ago but couldn't do
>>83604032
You know he'll be back, they've basically spent the last 8 years across multiple media establishing him as THE Flash villain.
>>83604882
It's his final idea to bring Barry to absolute despair: Rape him.
>>83596994
>>83597007
still hate you, Barry.

New to comic books and trying to get in.
Why can the flash make clothing? Can he control the properties of the clothing, like make himself a suit in tie or make it have the hardness of iron?
>>83609202
The Speed Force is a poorly-defined cosmic platonic ideal of Speed, Momentum, and/or Life itself depending on what story you read.
And Wally actually managed to condense a suit out of it to wear when his legs were broken so that he could still run on them.
Don't ask why.
It's just something he can do.
>>83609202
>>83609262
I think the real answer is because Morrison thought it would be cool
>>83609593
I thought that was from Waid's run. Huh.
>>83609826
Waid may have had him repairing the suit, I think Jesse Quick learned it too.
where's Max Mercury Zen Master of Speed
>>83597206
I came to read comics not to cry for fucks sake
>>83609593
Wow that yellow looks so bad with that orange
I figured out my problem, I don't want a Flash comic in the rain. That's Batman's thing, the Flash is sunny and bright.
>>83609593
Would look better without the bug eyes.
>>83597362
what if Max Mercury comes back?
>>83609262
>>83609593
This comic sounds unreadable. If a character has a powerful ability that is poorly defined I can't take any drama seriously, there is also no interest in the plot because as far as I know the writer can just pull solutions out of his ass.
So is there some restriction or pattern to what he can do? There doesn't even seem to be a consistent theme as conjuring clothing, and having premonitions have nothing to do with speed.
>>83610093
All the premonitions had to do with other speedsters, they're all connected through the Speed Force.
>>83597108
The fact that Flash will just randomly give you awesome pizza just sells me on him or some reason.
>>83597206
>>83597232
A lot of bitching about this artist, but he draws some good ass running poses.
>>83597110
Fuck you, Di Giandomenico's art is magnificent.
>>83610093
The Speed Force is a kinetic wall between the present and the Time Barrier that manifests as electrical energy, and is continuously generated by Barry Allen whenever he runs, and it was created by Barry the moment he was struck by lightning. It exists within every facet of time and space, encompassing all of reality (within the DC Multiverse) and containing knowledge of every time and every place.
>>83610352
No. This is magnificent.
>>83610093
it made sense in context
>>83610460
Let's be fair. Manapul is a level above fantastic. He's Manaperfect
Now that Wally is back will Zolomon come back?
>>83597218
>First thought the Joker left it as a clue

>>83610924
what faggot and right about what?

>they barely do that in the JL team book
why
>>83610857
Well, NuThawne has his powers, so probably when Rebirth is over and the continuity is fixed.
>>83611156
Comic Drake there was a whole thread about it. He had a theory that the Comedian from Watchmen was actually one of the Jokers.
>>83610985
Yeah, that makes sense, guess I just had a knee jerk reaction.
>>83610857
Am I the only one who never liked Thawne/Reverse Flash that much?
I always liked Zoom/Hunter Zolomon way more.
I mean, even as a kid, reading my uncle's pre-crisis Flash comics, I didn't like Thawne.
>>83611469
He's an entertaining douchebag, but yeah I think Zolomon's a more effectively threatening villain.
>>83610418
>I'm omni-powerful, omni-knowing being because I was hit by lighting. I'm really strong. I could probably beat Goku and Superman without using my hands. Also time travel!
Ok Flash is garbage. Dropped.
>>83611469
>>83597110
I mean it's certainly no Manapul but I wouldn't call it "shitty." It's... adequate?

I agree with the people saying it's more of a problem with the colorist.

Technically it was. Morrison did like a summer fill in run while Waid was taking a break.

How many comics do you actually read?

The Flash isn't omnipotent and omniscient. Theoretically, he could be, but it's not like he fully understands the Speed Force and stuff.

Basically, the Speed Force could easily allow The Flash to become a literal Speed God existing simultanously across all of reality, solving every problem he can and truly making the world a better place.
But he's just not at that level yet, 'cause he doesn't fully realize what his powers actually entail yet.

Kingdom Come Flash gets kind of close to that level, but mainline continuity Flash doesn't get there partially out of ignorance, yea, but also becsuse Wally, Barry and Jay just don't WANT to. They've got families and friends and like their human life, that keeps them grounded even when they're doing crazy shit like racing Death to the end of the universe.
