Flash Rebirth #1


The other event that DC advertised at the New York Comic Con has hit the stands.

First off, bringing back The Silver Age speedster cheapens his death in the first Crisis. Same can be said for Hal Jordon being up and about after the Parallax incident. It’s doesn’t move the universe forward, but backwards instead.

But this first issue does a decent job with it’s monologues and flashbacks to explain the character’s mythos to bring new readers up to speed on what’s going on right now, no pun intended.

At the same time, I don’t buy in the beginning, how convenient the lighting bolt strikes at Mysterious Person at the right time and place at the right moment when the cops are about to arrest him for murder, so the electro chemical addicent to work again.
