NEW CREATIVE TEAM TAKES FLASH TO NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN STARS!

Legendary comics writer and novelist Dan Abnett and veteran artist Manuel Garcia launch an all-new era of epic adventure!

Flash Gordon is grounded! With Mongo now an impossible distance away, and Earth's governments reacting to the potential dangers of alien worlds, space travel is now reserved for the experts...and a former football player-turned-sword-wielding rabble rouser isn't making the cut. But when a huge object--a meteor? a planet?--appears on a collision path with Earth, Flash will leave the ""experts"" in the dust. With a bootleg spaceship courtesy more

    A much stronger second chapter that balances introspection with genuine sci-fi adventure and finally gives this relaunch the momentum it needed. Read Full Review

    Flash Goron #16 is a very effective beginning to Abnett’s first story arc. It fleshes out recent events, develops the main character, and kicks off a high stakes plot. It’s perhaps a little more generally sci-fi than traditionally Flash Gordon, but it is very engaging. Flash Gordon is setting up to be a sci-fi adventure series to rival any space superheroes.

    The beginning of this issue was extremely weak, and I did not have high hopes for it coming off of Adams' run. However, Abnet wrote one of my favorite Aquaman runs. Thankfully, this issue got better by the end. Good enough for me to continue it. I don't like that Zarkov has androids and is an android, that is completely human looking. I liked the design in Adams' run. Keeping my fingers crossed.
