OK...I don't want to see Bart die...really don't. I would rather the whole aging thing was reversed and he went back to being Impulse.

This is, though, a very interesting time to be a Flash fan. I'm not sorry I dropped the book when I did (just bad writing) but I'm really glad I picked it up again.

Looking forward to find out what happens.

I like how the splash page evokes Barry Allen's swan song:

Crisis on Infinite Earths #8

Nice homage to COIE #8 with that 3rd page.

I can't wait for what comes next!!!

Great looking stuff! Tony Daniel deserves a better fate than this.... Hopefully DC can put him on another book and VERY soon!

I completely agree with the first part. But i'm not sure about the "interesting time to be a Flash fan" thing. I mean, if you are, then you probably have a better say than i do.
I just think fans of the Flash and Martian Manhunter are getting kind of screwed by what's been going on with those two major characters. I guess J'onn is coming back for Outsiders soon, and this new Flash stuff will probably (hopefully) take care of its problems, but we shall see.

VinnyPic · 06-18-2007, 04:31 PM

Not even that. Rememer Bart's status and his Bart-specific power.

Try it again, but this time throw on a superman tshirt. Its all in the details

They'd really better not just kill him. What a waste that'd be. Even deaging him would be pointless, unless they gave him amnesia or something. Even if he's a teen again, he's still going to have experienced a good year or two as an adult. It's not our physical age that defines us, it's our experience, and unless they do something severely drastic, it'd be completely illogical and inconsistant to just put him back the way he was without it being a complete copout move.

Like school in the summertime...no class.

Looking forward to reading the issue on Wednesday, although I really wish DC had left Bart as Kid Flash II instead of this "Let's see if people like Bart as Flash IV and if not, we'll just kill him off and bring back Wally" plan. And no, I'm not buying the "intentional misdirection" spin control.

Chip Whitley · 06-18-2007, 04:50 PM

So since #13 is the last issue, what happens with 14 and 15? Will their stories be rolled into the All-Flash Special, or was their being offered simply misdirection?

chairhead · 06-18-2007, 04:50 PM

I could see him going back to Kid Flash and Wally coming back. Then maybe we could get Bart back in TT.

FourthRow · 06-18-2007, 04:59 PM

What power is that, exactly?
