Blackest Night Flash #1 Discussion

[Flash_Fact]

Is it just me or has Sarah Palin somewhat forever tainted the word "Rogue?" Ever time now I see it in a Flash reference, I can't get that Wasilla accent crossed with the voices of the film Fargo out of my head no matter how hard I pound it against the wall.


Arrgh!!

Scott Kolins does an amazing Barry Allen. This is better art then I remember Rogues Revenge was.

No worries. If there is a Sarah Palin in the DCU, one of the Rogues would take her out for perceived trademark infringement.

Is there a Sarah Palin in the DCU? She'd be a lot more fun as a comic book character than President Obama.

Not in DCU, but seeing as how Mad Magazine did a bit on her as Blunder Woman and Mad is owned by DC, there is hope!

DC Comics.com has a PDF preview of the issue up with a couple of pages not in the IGN preview.

Cool to see a character turn up in those pages that I was hoping to see in the mini.

Dude, thanks for posting that.

I was extremely excited for this mini if for nothing else than it was going to be Geoff and Scott back on the Flash.

But from this preview it looks like some of Owen's issues are going to be resolved, and Geoff may give him some direction. Plus, he's in it!

And I've always liked Tar Pit, and I'm glad to see him as well. Tomorrow can't come soon enough!!!

Also, I like the way Scott Kolins drew Owen. He's got kind of a new costume that reminds me of his most recent action figure. New direction, new costume. I and the other, like 2 or 3, Captain Boomerang Jr fans of the world will have a good time with this book I feel.

I really like Owen too so I'm glad he's in this mini.

I just hope his daddy doesn't kill him!!!!

I wonder, is Owen paying him for this, or is he doing it out of professional courtesy?

[General grievous]

I love Tar pit.

Hope we get to see Double down as well.

[PyroTwilight]

So, I finally get to see Tar Pit! I fear he'll be cruelly dispatched somehow.

He can not be killed! no heart. Astral projection.

Just finished reading it. It's all set-up, nothing really happens. Good for someone like me who didn't read any Blackest Night or Final Crisis stuff, cause it gives a good background to what's happening.

[DeadManMoe]

Nice to see that Scot brought back the "speed force costume comes form lightining-shaped scar in Wally`s chest" thing.

That was one nice visual topuch back when he was drawing the title, but I haven`t seen it since.

So it did come out today then? I ask because there were conflicting reports on whether or not comics came out today or tomorrow because of the Thanksgiving Holiday in the U.S. Doesn't really matter to me since I get mine on Thursdays anyway, but just curious.

[The Bowss]

Glad To Owen Will Really Be In This Major not Minor (That's How It Looks Atleast.)
