The Rogues kick ass
You can’t blame her for changing her name from Snart, can you?

New Flash #7 Cover Revealed!

speedforceorg:

The Source has posted the new cover to Flash #7, featuring Captain Cold.  The solicit still features the cover to issue #6, which was originally intended to be #7 but was bumped up.  A time-hopping CSI story originally intended for #6 was scrapped in favor of moving up the New 52 debut of the Man Who Mastered Absolute Zero.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, the post focuses on the love triangle that has been on display since the last issues of the pre-Flashpoint series. Editor Brian Cunningham poses some rhetorical questions about the relationship between Barry and Patty, with Iris on the outside (for now).

The fun part is building a love triangle where no one knows how the heck it’ll turn out. For now, Barry’s happily dating Patty…and it might stay that way for a while, with Iris outta luck waiting in the wings. Will Barry someday succumb to Iris’s charms and brassy style, making for a difficult time at work with Patty shooting daggers with her eyes?

Maybe…maybe not. Keep reading to find out. In fact, the cover to FLASH #7 shown below is probably an apt metaphor for our hero with Patty on the left, and Iris on the right.


Happy Valentine’s Day, speed-readers!

As is obvious, I’m quite behind.

mick baby

oh god what is the context of this, or at least the context of the rest of this story he’s telling

No context, alas, just a solitary panel.  It’s from The Life Story of the Flash, a book written by ‘Iris Allen’.

That time when Barry randomly had telepathy.
Though I’m pretty sure the slashers could suggest why Len called Mick.

Flash #5 preview, with one page of Rogues.  But who’s that on the left?  Folded Man, or just another meta?  It doesn’t really look like Folded Man, but Tar Pit and Girder look a bit off too.

Dump him, Iris.  He was obviously cheating on you.

That’s what you get for talking out loud to yourself, Iris.  Somebody might break into your home and answer you.

The Rogues appear briefly as Dick Tracy villains in Wednesday Comics.  The comparison works surprisingly well, even if the Rogues are handsome in contrast to the Tracy villains’ freakishness.  I think that’s why so many people in the 1960s noted that the Rogues were handsome — in addition to the weirdness of the Batvillains, people of the time were very familiar with Dick Tracy’s and other pulp heroes’ ugly bad guys.  In that sense, the Flash Rogues were an innovation.
