The way they worked Captain Marvel

The rest of it... Ok, I guess... Though I have to say I smirked when

Spoiler:
Barry fell down the stairs, doing his best Xavier impression

Spoiler:
Captain Marvel and Dianna square off

in future issues - but other then that.... ermm

Flash #12 was WAY better.

does the first issue read smoothly?

It flows nicely, yeah. Just wasn't overly eventful.

indeed

Enjoyed it quite a bit.

Thanks i will read it shortly

to my flashpoint review.......i really enjoyed the first issue.....it caused enough mystery to keep me hooked....although i do have some theory's. i just hope they can tie it all up in the given five issues.

EDIT: anyone else find Captain Thunder really badass seeming?

i def want to see more of capt thunder.

Looks like something big is coming to the DCU after Flashpoint, called The Dark. Could it be Darkseids return? Or have something to do with Blackest Night?? Let the rumors begin! News from Bleeding Cool.

Possiable DC Reboot?

Hmm, I think the Dark has something to do with Swamp Thing.

Some interesting interviews.

I really, really, REALLY, hope that this leads to a Captain Marvel/Shazam! resurgence in mainstream DC. I appreciate the fresh twist on Captain Thunder, who seems to be both an homage to the original concept of Captain Marvel (several individuals with an aspect of the power who merge into a single being) as well as a nod to Infinity Man.

If anyone deserves an ongoing post Flashpoint, it really ought to be Captain Marvel.

I just read Abin Sur: The Green Lantern and i enjoyed it! but it is completely obvious they tried to make it look like the movie....from the way the outfit & ring looks to the guardians.

What about the other tie ins. Anyone read them? Anyone?

i couldn't afford them until Friday 🙁 but i think gl and bats are the only tie ins im gonna be picking up anyways...can't afford to get them all.

anyone read the bats tie in or world of flash point?

i read Flashpoint #2 and you know what i enjoyed it! that "surprise" ending i found interesting but im thinking i know what will happen....

Spoiler:
Barry's flash powers will kick in, in the next book healing his body from the accident...as speedsters tend to do.

Shade one was pretty cool. Interesting powers.

anyone read Frankenstein? I heard it was pretty aweosme.

God I love Frankenstein (first issue was great, btw.) I'm SO glad DC has finally started to use him more.

Grifter was in Flash Point 3! 😱

Flash Point still continues to suck though.
