Great pic BTW (feet and all).
This needs to be a poster, like so much of Manapul's panel layouts, to be hanged and admired each and every day. I don't care if it takes up the entire length of the wall, it's that awesome.
Warning - Spoilers....kind of.........
As for the images themselves, what does everyone think of them? I have to go back to check over them all, but the gist I get is that no matter what Barry does, Patty dies. Whether trying to save the people at the stadium, trying to take out the Speed Force energy capsules or attacking Grodd head-on, it appears to end badly for Patty.
Were the Rogues in those images anywhere? If so, how does Barry know what they are doing if he's unconscious?
Still, wonderful depiction by Manapul of this new ability of Barry's.

You have some good points to consider, Savitar. I hope the news isn't so bad for Patty...but now I want to go back and look even closer at that pic I took (or just closer at one of the 5 copies of the issue I bought so I could take that pic).  |

The Rogues do appear in some of them...The Flash is "planning" using a map (?). I noticed in how the stories "play" out that Barry is dying in the end....with Patty "at his side".
I don't think it's Barry knowing whats going on, because he is unconscious.....I think it's more like getting an idea and logically following it through. His Speedmind is considering all angles, possibilities, and outcomes. He doesn't know what The Rogues are doing; per say, but knows them well enough to consider strengths, weaknesses, etc.

I think you are giving an excellent description of the Speed Mind, at least based on the interviews I've read. He doesn't have true precognition, but can logically figure out what is likely to happen next if he takes a certain course of action. What makes this one unique is that his unconscious mind is following multiple tracks seemingly all at once - and no matter what it makes for one amazing spread of pics!

It's nigh impossible to accurately predict the actions of one man, let alone a small group such as the Rogues. So his Speed Mind must be vast as well as quick if he considers every single action they could take. Such as, will they help me? Will all of them help me? If not, which one doesn't? How many follow his/her example? and so on. I have to wonder, his being the excess point of the Speed Force, does his Speed Mind access the Speed Force, allowing him to 'see' those future visions, of all possible futures? And that combined with his logic is what allows him to 'see' all possible outcomes? Have to admit, this is the coolest new ability for Barry, but also the most frustrating.  |
