A few of those characters I agree with (Aunt May), but others still had a lot of life left in them, so to speak. I'm surprised they cared about Guardian's return; I didn't really think he was popular enough to notice.
And some of them really were stupid deaths to begin with (Colossus a notable one), so I don't mind seeing those deaths reversed. I do think, however, that when a character dies they probably shouldn't be back the next year. Let them lie fallow a bit to counter the cynicism everyone has nowadays about characters dying and promptly coming back...and don't kill so many characters to begin with!

I don't like it (no surprise there), but there's not much to be done about it now :\ He looks really douchey with that sleeveless vest, it doesn't really fit my mental image of him. And I'm not impressed with him having powers at all, as I've said.
Just waiting for them to roll out the rest of the Rogues at this point, I guess.

I think it's a little silly, but then so was Deathstroke whupping the Justice League in Identity Crisis, and he clearly had amazing speed and reaction time there.
Every so often a villain will seem to catch a speedster napping -- during Johns' first run on the Flash, the Top caught Wally flat-footed repeatedly. While he does have some super-speed (he must in order to do the stuff he does), I question him being as fast as Wally. I guess it's possible he took Wally by surprise. Might have been the same situation with Deathstroke too.

Tom Batiuk once did a strip (I don't remember if it was in Funky Winkerbean or Crankshaft) showing a character getting heavier, made to look like the classic Flash #115 cover. Edit: Found it! thefastestmanalive.blogspot.com/2009/01/funky-winkerbean.htmlAnd when looking at Silver Age letters pages I saw why: he was a Flash fan, and had a letter published in the Flash letters page at least once

I'm not ruling out liking it once the story arc (or this particular run on the Flash) is finished, but at this point I'm not thrilled. This isn't necessarily Manapul and Buccellato's fault, of course -- some of these changes are probably part of DC revamping itself and changing in specific (such as a more youthful) directions.
Be that as it may, I still didn't like the issue and don't like the rebooted elements of the Flashverse. Not a good sign.

Unsurprisingly, I didn't care for it. Sorry, when they muck with the Rogues like that, I'm not gonna like it. I think DC's made a huge mistake.

Seems like it's a US-only contest, alas. Well, I can understand that -- hope some of you guys win!

Eh, why not. It probably won't appeal to anyone here (it's mostly Top/Golden Glider based), but I promise it's generally not too sappy. Each one has a rating and warning of any objectionable content in the header. liabrown.livejournal.com/338073.html

I'm attaching a picture that some comics fans may recognize...no it's not from a comic, though... Anyone have a guess? I'll reply later on with the location of the shot. I hit the quote button, but it wasn't what I thought it'd be. My guess was going to be something related to the CERN particle accelerator I still don't know!

I have mixed feelings. It's definitely a well-done comic: beautiful art, light-hearted and fun instead of the unrelenting grimness in much of the DCU, and nothing in the comic has pissed me off yet (unlike much of the rebooted stuff I've read).
That said, I'm finding it a bit flat so far, and unfortunately I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get over the reboot changes. I don't like Barry never having been married to Iris, and so forth. And I suspect I won't like the newly-powered Rogues.
So my feelings are mixed and I'm not sure I'll ever be happy with the new continuity. I don't know.

I don't play video games, but this game does sound tempting and I'm glad they added more Rogues. Can't say I need yet another timesink, however!

Just the Flash so far. Also getting the Shade LS, but that's just an LS, and getting Suicide Squad for as long as Digger's in the title (hopefully not long).
I enjoyed the first two issues of Demon Knights that I read, but haven't decided whether to pick it up.
