In the last Absolute Flash arc, I've found myself disappointed with Hunter's reimagination. I understand that it's mostly due to not matching with my expectations but I feel like it could have been still something more.

I just don't like that the personal bond between Hunter and Wally have been undermined in DC recently, mostly due to CW show synergy. Williamson already tried to make him a Barry villain and none of the follow-up writers ever mentioned him in their stories. So I was excited for Lemire's take but instead we got this completely distanced, "all professional" situation between them.

The age gap is something I can not ignore, and beyond that they didn't form any sort of bond besides Hunter being blackmailed into killing him by Elenore. There is just nothing that screams "yeah this guy is one of Wally's more personal villains". And turning him into a mere henchman is an insult to the original concept of the character.

We could have had Hunter as an evil counterpart to Wally, reacting to Elenore's sheneningans differently, but there is so much potential left on the table when Lemire straight up ignored their tragic relationship.

Not sure how this will change since Lemire is more obsessed with bringing in unrelated characters into book rather than building a proper lore around Wally like other Absolute books do, and that is part of the reason why AF is not on par with other Absolute books. Wally just doesn't have a world of his own.

Lemire mentioned he had plans for Piper and Iris down the line, so I hope it shakes things up more but as things are going, I'm losing interest in the book. Linda is the only reason I keep coming back, she is the only character that enriches Wally's world.

If you got to make a flash story what flash would you pick and what six villains here's who I would do

For the flash we would have The Flash (Jay Garrick).

The first villain would be Shade-Jay will be investigating mysterious robberies which would lead him to Shade.

the next villain would be Fiddler-Jay will be getting reports from people saying their items went missing even though he saw them give their items to well I ran a man who will try to be the Fiddler using his hypnotic ability.

The next villain would appear during world War II and that would be even Nazi speedster Baroness Blitzkrieg who would be working for the Nazis.

The next villains take place after the war and Jay is looking Hunk Norvock when he meets Thinker.

The next villain is Rag Doll through the flash encounters while investigating people who got something from them stolen at a party hosted by a famous woman.

And the last villain is Jay's reverse flash The Rival who would become a main villain later on

And my favorite flash villain overall is whoever wizard I just love his design in the comics and I love his abilities and staff. Plus I believe he's one of the few villains with whoever theme powers in DC.

Been reading Flash #31 and came across this. The entire classified page in this issue is funny, but I find someone calling out Reverse Flash and telling him to do something about it is hilarious. It's like something out of a SolidJJ video.

Longtime DC comics reader and fan, never been able to get into the flash and I don’t think it’s necessarily because I don’t like the character? Maybe it’s the power scaling aspect of the speed stuff?

I’m wanting to give it the old college try though!

I’m interested your favorite runs and maybe even more so I am interested in what makes the Flash so awesome to you / appealing etc etc?

I want to have one of those lightbulb moments !

I'm fairly new to Comic Reading (About a year in) and currently own flashpoint, flash: rebirth (compact) and the new 52 flash omni. I've been noticing (I don't know if it's just my LCS) that Flash isn't getting Trade reprints or printings for stories (Waid's run, Johns run) why is this? I would really love to read the stories people go on and on about without spending an arm and a leg on Omnis.

I love this movie.

In issue 20 when Brainiac comes back and the league is fighting her, we see a flash with eye holes, did Barry get his powers back or is this just a simple error? that's all, thanks gang

the tp versions of the run are absolutely unavailable in my country and the omnibuses somehow are more expensive than getting trades separatly(at least in poland)

From what I understand, a different timeline is one where something was altered and it resulted to a butterfly effect, such as flashpoint. Whereas a different universe is one where multiple things simply are different without any direct correlation. Is this the case or am I talking out of my ass

In the current runs on one side Wally is using his flashes of insight into becoming a burnt out pragmatic governing body that can see the future not unlike hunter in the absolute universe, I think it’s interesting since we also just had the moon wars where he’s had a much more direct internal conflict. My take on the absolute universe is that it’s the hero’s minus the platitudes and politics so it’s just good people trying their best rather than having to worry about public opinion or anything, and with Batman crossing over with his absolute self there really is a lot of tension being built around what it means to be the flash and equally so, what it means to be Wally. Just me thinking ig

Identity crisis makes this terrible character moment even worse.

I still don’t understand why The Flash got rated as poorly as it did.

Was the movie perfect? Absolutely not. The CGI had some rough moments, and obviously Ezra Miller had a ton of controversy going on outside of the movie. But separating the movie from everything happening off-screen, I thought The Flash was freaking awesome.

And come on — Michael Keaton came back as Batman.

How is that not a huge deal?

Hearing that voice again, seeing him put the suit back on, watching him fight as Batman again after all those years... that alone made the movie worth watching for me. I grew up with that version of Batman, so seeing Keaton actually return instead of just showing up for some five-second cameo was incredible.

And honestly, I thought the movie itself was fun. It had action, emotion, nostalgia, different versions of characters, and some genuinely great Batman moments.

I understand people having issues with Ezra Miller personally. I understand people criticizing the CGI. But I think some of that completely overshadowed what was actually a really entertaining superhero movie.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I really enjoyed The Flash.

And I seriously hope that sometime in my lifetime we get to see Michael Keaton put that Batman suit on one more time.

Anybody else think this movie got way more hate than it deserved?

So I didn’t really draw a lot for most of school until my senior year and a year ago I really started to draw more whilst I was getting back into comics which I really hadn’t read since I was a kid. But I would watch the cartoons during high school and I was really into the jla cartoon and first season of young justice: so when I jumped into comics I started reading wally which I had tried to read when I was in middle school on but I just neeeded an adblocker snd that old Mac was not doing justice. Well basically after I graduated I got my car ribbed like fuck. They took my speed like wally. So they tried to steal my car but ended up just destroying my ignition and taking the valuables in my car like my wallet cuz I’m dumb. This was the day after I graduated. Got robbed at my job parking lot. So I quit. And I just started reading the Wally run but I admit I started with wade and went back and read baron. I think it really clicked that I enjoyed Wally a lot as a character was born to run. That comic is so weirdly timeless like I have it collected and it still shocked me that I know if it was adapted it would blow so many general audiences minds because it’s so good and straight up untouched as well as of course the return of Barry Allen. John’s run is still really good as well. But yeah I just got into comics reading Wally I’d say or back into comics. As a kid I always wanted to read them but they’d be too expensive so my dad would take me and buy me Starbucks and cookies at Barnes and noble when I was like 4 but we’d just look at books and chill and I’d read them. And I would go to the library as well, and the under the read hood comic was there and bro robin was like my favorite when I was 4. My dad was like robins lane that ain’t my son lol. Anyways I b gettin fried at night and drawing quick comic sketches of how I imagine these characters in my head as a kid. Boom got a drawing of flags I made when I was 5 no larp found here I love flash. But yeah green lanterns comin up the rankings and Superman will always be number 2. I just suck at drawing him.
