WHY

STOP FRICKING BRINGING UP HEROES IN CRISIS

I know everything's canon, and this is a significant event that affect the hero community, but everything is canon happened just so writers can pick and choose which canon to focus on. In other words you can also just move on. This is part of why I don't like DC fixing their story within the story. Just let him fight dinosaurs.

The arc was literally solicited as "The Redemption of Wally West". You thought it wasn't going to get brought up?

Maybe this is setup for a major retcon where Wally changes history to save their lives.

Let's not exaggerate...

I didn't read the last solicit. I was distracted by the dinosaur... well, barely dressed muscular Wally, but the dinosaurs too.

I don't actually like lots of exposed skin on anyone, but... where are these dinosaurs? (I freak'n love dinosaurs. Long live the memory of Harry Harryhausen.) (One of the best seens in Justice League animated was Wally discovering Bruce's dino.)

I would argue Wally had it way worse. Not even close when you compare them tbh.

So, are we thinking the story starts with Wally looking like Barry because of some weird fusion?

I just finished it and it was a blast! Why couldn't we have gotten this Savitar on screen? I've read up to the Final Night tie in issue (Linda's the GOAT). Will pick up where I left off later.

Ok, fine. It's not that bad. It just makes Emerald Twilight look like the Flash of Two Worlds.

Nah, Wally is into hair dye now.

Isn't it usually, script, then art, then letters? The script can be altered at the lettering stage if need be, whether it's because a mistake was noticed, or because they need to trim dialogue if the art doesn't leave enough space for the speech balloon, or, as happened with a few New 52 books, to remove obsolete continuity references (and some were not caught in time and were edited for the trade).

Ok fine all of you convinced me to add The Flash back to my pull list. I hope we aren’t shafted again and in six issues are reading a story where Wally murders his family, eats their liver, and Barry returns to lock him up.

I see it's now a $5 comic with, presumably, a backup story. Anyone know what that backup story is? This jump to $5 now has me considering waiting for the trade for this.

Yeah, still no mention what the extra pages will be covering yet.
I guess it's too much to hope for a Flash Family back-up.

Yes, but colors come last. Or at least, they did about some ten top 12 years ago (I lost touch with most of my colorist friends). Don't ask me why, though, I wouldn't do it in that order either.

**Digifiend** · 03-20-2021, 09:59 PM

I see textless colour previews a lot more often than lettered uncoloured ones.

**BohemiaDrinker** · 03-20-2021, 10:05 PM

That's just how a .psd file works.

If you see a preview, everything is already done anyway.

**married guy** · 03-21-2021, 02:43 PM

While I'm a bit upset (understatement of the year) to see the Sanctuary make another appearance (I was hoping it would NEVER be referenced EVER again) I hope this will be the last time we ever see it.
