I have zero art/graphics talent, I'm afraid (and am spending the next week and a bit frantically trying to get a fanfic done for a deadline). But it's a cool idea!
(If you're still doing this after the fic is done I might participate, but it'd look laughable)

That's what I've been told! I haven't played the game yet myself because my computer is perpetually short on memory and it can't be installed, but I want to (I've already purchased the Flash expansion pack). People have said he's the chattiest Rogue

My shop's too small to have special events. A friend of the store owner set up some extra longboxes outside, and there wasn't a single Flash issue included I was looking, and a stranger next to me asked the owner if there were any -- he said that dude was the third person to ask about Flash issues.

Yeah, the Top has been replaced by Turbine (otherwise there would be two spinning Rogues named Roscoe). Which is one reason I no longer buy the book.

I can't speak for Wally fans, but as a Top fan his complete erasure from the DCU leaves me with two conflicting feelings: glad that he isn't being butchered, but also hurt and upset that DC thinks he needs to be replaced. I wouldn't be surprised if at least some Wally fans feel something similar.

I think that Johns' first run is overall pretty good and worth reading.
Like Ed says, it depends on your favourite Flash and what eras you enjoy. I like the corny Silver and Bronze Age stories because they're so silly and bizarre, but some people hate them.

I've had terrible writer's block for a while, and forced myself to write a few drabbles and ficlets (extremely short stories) in an attempt to break it. Not sure it worked, but here they are: dillonmania.livejournal.com/6914.htmlI've also been working on (and procrastinating on) a massive story that's due June 1. I can't imagine anyone would want to read it because it's long and also kind of grim, but yay, now you know it's in the works! And it'll include an illustration or two by a fan-artist.

It's probably a sign of desperation, which is not good. Not that I'm buying DC at the moment anyway (because they've already completely alienated me), but if I was it would probably turn me off.

Manapul and Buccellato said their 'WTF' cover didn't sync up with the planned story and they had to alter the story to fit it. Just goes to show you what a trainwreck these line-wide stunts are. (And in case it isn't clear, I don't blame the creators for it; the fault is with whoever ordered the stunt)

Saga's the only title I'm buying these days. I like it very much -- the universe building is definitely one of its strengths.

I've never heard of him, but he looks incredibly young in both photos. Makes me feel old :>

Very well-written piece! And I agree, it's frustrating.

The comics world, and fans, owe him a lot.

Lisa was a great character before the reboot too.
