48 STORY PAGES! FIVE STORIES, all tying in to the hit FLASH GORDON ongoing series! KID FLASH - Teenage Flash's daring & dumb misadventures! DALE ARDEN - Hero of the science desk! PROFESSOR ZARKOV - Drunken rocket scientist of the future! SHARK PRINCESS - Royal tribulations on one of Ming's many conquered underwater worlds! BABY FLASH - What kind of trouble did Flash get into before he was even out of diapers!?
These stories all take place before the events of Kings Watch #1 and Flash Gordon #1, and despite each story being really short and a bit rushed, I enjoyed both the writing and art from this collaborative team-up. If you are a fan and familiar with the Flash Gordon universe, you will surely enjoy this annual issue. It's a nice precursor to the upcoming Kings Crossover event coming in January 2015.

Behind a steep price of admission, "Flash Gordon Annual 2014" gives readers a handful of fun stories, even if their connection to the current "Flash Gordon" series is clinical. Continuity-light, but still connected to the legend of Flash Gordon, this comic book is a nice introduction to Flash and friends, a fine example of what Acker and Blacker bring to the franchise and a snappy sample of the stories these characters are capable of. While I can appreciate the buffer page that highlights the start of each chapter, I would have preferred some pin-ups instead and a static table of contents on the inside cover. That said, that's a small nit to pick, especially for a comic book that features some fantastic comic book creators clearly having fun with one of King Syndicate Features' most well-known properties.
