THE FLASH #43
Written by Joshua Williamson, art and cover by Carmine Di Giandomenico, variant cover by David Finch and Danny Miki.
"Perfect Storm," part five! With the Flash Family hot on his heels, Barry takes the fight to Grodd. If he's going to survive, he'll need to steal his powers back and stop Grodd by any means necessary!Â
32 pages, $2.99, in stores on March 28.
Yup. There's the whole Flash family. Even the Flash of China who's brand new. Yup. Everyone. No one missing here. Or no one important at least for DC.
Meh... DC back to basics as usual. Though I'm looking forward to The New Age of Heroes, it's hard to get excited about them because DC has a history of introducing new characters then dropping them like a bad habit when they don't catch on right away. Oh well at least they look cool!
Done with DC. Can't handle the constant whiplash! Time to go on a hiatus!
ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.

Big month for DC’s side imprints, with more New Age of DC Heroes titles starting and Young Animal relaunch. Still interested in Sideways and Terrifics. Maybe Immortal Men too since I like what Tynion did on DCYou Constantine. Will wait on word of mouth for the Brimstone trade. Eternity Girl sounds cool but imma probably be trade waiting Young Animal from now on.
If Sejic’s not doing the interiors then I guess Aquaman is off my pull list because I only had it pulled for his art. I'll check out the next artist's work though to reach a conclusion.
Justice League solicits don’t seem too interesting but that’s probably because we’ve only had one issue of the current arc (which I jumped on and am really digging) so they might just not be revealing too much.
Not interested in the Superman Bizarro arc. It’s cool that Tomasi has turned Superman into more of an episodic, two-and-done series. Makes it more accessible and probably compliments the overarching stuff going on in Action Comics. I'm just personally not as interested anymore. I’ll catch up and then see if I wanna drop it.
I love Super Sons but them vs Talia sounds meh.
Waiting on word of mouth for Humphries on Nightwing, and the Batman/Wonder Woman and Mera miniseries. How's Seeley on Green Lanterns?
Can’t wait for Deathstroke Volume 4. Mister Miracle and Batman: White Knight are still hype.
Last issues for Ragman and Mystik-U minis so that cuts down my pull list thankfully.
Overall kinda meh tbh.

It frustrates me when an artist gets popular and then DC stops giving them monthly titles to do covers, crossovers, and events. They've done it with Fabok and Reis, and now Jorge Jiminez. His art is fantastic, but I'd rather see it consistently in the same book month-to-month than on a couple covers and 1/3 of a crossover.
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

Now, I really disliked this HJ & GLC solicit.
The guy controlled ION, controlled ION alongside ALL the energy from the Central Battery and the life essence of the Guardians, REBUILT THE BATTERY and RESSURECTED THE GUARDIANS, then went to control every single shade od the emotional spectrum, became the Goddamn White Lantern but oh"Mainly Man Jordan's ring is too powerfull!!! I'm overwhelmed!!!!"Kyle Rayner tries to control Hal’s ring, but the power within the ring is overwhelming him.
Ge-zuz...

That's too bad. Haven't read the series but been interested in the two characters. Might pick up the trades for Humphries' run.
My only exposure to Kyle is through Tom King's awesome Omega Men series during DCYou and that solicit pisses me off.

Fabok has repeatedly said that he doesn't want to do monthlies any more. Drawing Justice League required him to work crazy hours and was bad for his health. DC has tried to use Reis' to support some secondary books like Cyborg and the second Justice League book but it hasn't stuck. Hopefully he can get a good run on Terrifics.
He's already off by or after issue 4, which is hilarious.
Just give'm all minis or something. Good art is worth nothing if it's not consistent.

These solicits are just looking ok for me.
Action Comics kind of surprised that the lead up to #1000 is this. Pretty underwhelming. Not happy about Booth on the art. Just got rid of him on Titans. I hope they actually make Sam Lane a two dimensional character. This stereotypical mean military thing has been done to death already.
Lois and Clark have also been married awhile so it wouldn't make sense to do this fighting thing now.
Superman This Bizarro story could be interesting. Bizarro is a fun character but not really liking the team on this book. They usually disappoint.
Detective Comics This sounds interesting. I'm glad there is focus on Tim. Although I'm not the biggest fan of the dark road they are taking him down it is intriguing and being done well.
Nightwing Have no idea what's happening. I guess when the team starts starting from this week I'll get an idea where this is going.
Red Hood This sounds fun.
Wonder Woman Sounds pretty good. Glad to see that they are continuing with the Darkseid story and building up on it.
Hal Jordan and the GLC Zod vs the Lanterns is pretty cool but it sounds like they are taking it a step further. Not sure what they mean by Zod taking control over the GLC but sounds intriguing. Plus Kyle getting a spotlight.
Titans "Sigh" More stupid internal drama. Can they actually just fight a villain or something. I've given up on this series. Shame.
Flash Well that didn't last too long. as I knew it wouldn't. Just in the last issue it says how Wally steps in for Barry as the Flash and already here no mention at all of Wally. And Wally is conspicously missing from that cover of the Flash family (Of course).
Honorable mentions.
Mera. The Teriffics. Curse of Brimstone. Trinity. These look cool and I am optimistic for them.
Looking forward to the New Age of Heroes books. Deathstroke and Mister Miracle of course. Cool to see The Red Lion appearing in Justice League. Priest’s run should be interesting.
Nothing else looks super exciting though.
Eh. I’ll pick up the same ones as always. Action, Superman, Titans, TT, Supersons and probably Terrífics as well as Visaggios’ title a well as Sharp’s brave and the bold.
