Mark's Profile

I love benday dots and I love pre-digital coloring. If the comic uses those two things in its art, I'm on board.

Flash continues to be great, and this event is a blessing and a curse for this book: we derail the plot once more for an event, but hopefully this will reward the series in the long run with some character development and increased reader-ship.

Meddling kids gonna meddle, but I like the twins and I'm excited to see each of the alternate goose chases. The Earth-Flash sequence was without a doubt the best thing about this issue (mainly because of the art). I love Pasarin, but Nahuelpan knocks it out of the park.

Based on the first page flash-forward, I wonder if that will truly be thawne/zolomon, or if it's wally in the zoom suit. more

Geoff Johns please be the publisher of DC comics, fix this awful state of dc comics :(

Some Thoughts:
-Seems like Thomas got zapped by Darkseid back to the Flashpoint Earth preserved in Hypertime.
-The concept of the Divine Continuum presents some interesting ideas and I think you could find a way to fold it into Morrison's Cosmology as well.
-Set up for World of Flashpoint plots: Per Degaton in SA, project Superman, Wesley Dodd, and even a possible Prime Earth Psycho Pirate? He's being used in the Detective Crossover right now if I'm not wrong, but then that would mean that this is the Flashpoint version with memories/visions of prime earth.
-Most intrigued by the Doomsday Clock mentions; Slater's watch, Mime & Marionette, and the Dreiberg kids mentioned on the chalkboard.
-More Zoom fuckery is on the way! And the Flashpoint Barry Allen stuff was a lot of fun.
-The Clockwork Killer mystery is pretty cool, someone is killing time traveler counterparts and stuffing them with gears and shit. The Scavenger stuff was a little out of place, but I wonder if he was really just working for Aquaman and ended up killing Barry and the Dents just because.
-I'm praying that Johns follows up on the Stargirl Spring Break plot threads.more

I really liked the issue so far and I'm pretty interested in it. Geoff Johns is one of the best writers in my opinion and his writing carries this issue, however the art brings the score down a bit. Let's hope its not as dissapointing as Three Jokers.

In DC's darkest hour, they turn to the one man who can still save them... Geoff Johns.

I enjoyed this a lot. However, it's tough to know what kind of bearing it is going to have on the larger DCU. Clearly some, because Thomas Wayne acknowledges what happened to him in Justice League Incarnate.

I know the previews spoiled it but I was still surprised to see the return of t he Doomsday Clock Universe. I am excited to see how it's all connected. Could we be building to Earth-Johns or Johns Multiverse? I think I'd be more interested in that than nearly all the shit DC is currently putting out.more

Interesting.....The Thing is this book is stuffed with lot of references.To fully grasp it u need to know past dc events...Anyway it's good to see johns writing again....Hope that this ends well

The GOAT is back.

Interesting MYSTERY story. If you don't like mystery and detective stories, you might not like this. But first set your expectations with understanding that this is a mystery story. It includes Flashpoint Batman Thomas Wayne, Batman (what universe?) Bruce Wayne, Sandman Wesley Dodds, Flashpoint Green Lantern Abin Sur, Flashpoint Aquaman, various time-travelers, Flashpoint Superman, and Rip Hunter Time Masters team... and yes there definitely **IS** a Flash in this story. Not clear who or what universe Flash. Sandman is part of a narrative, GL and Superman by reference.

Bruce Wayne Batman begins the story with Watchman villains Mime and Marionnette leading the Bruce Wayne Batman into Time Masters redoubt to get a snowglobe that apparently has some type of time-travel powere. Bruce Wayne Batman's goals? Not clear. But he erases from the Time Masters blackboard of ideas that "Thomas Wayne will die."

Next we jump back to Flashpoint universe, as if nothing had changed, with the intervention of the Flash Barry Allen from Earth One. Batman Thomas Wayne tries to recreate Barry Allen as the Flash, but he is apparently (we'll see) stopped by an Atlantis saboteur working for the Tyrant Aquaman. He apparently fails, and we see Barry Allen's body die. However, we then is some type of Flash in this Flashpoint universe, who is nearly invisible. Is it Reverse Flash? Flash from another universe? Or was Barry Allen's spirit merged with Speed Force although his body dies? Or is it another Flash who has been or has gone to the Flashpoint universe?

(Be aware, there are gray "thought" narrative boxes with bat logo in yellow moon, but that is Thomas Wayne, not Bruce Wayne thinking. That was really odd. Sloppy?)

Lots of questions. However there is killer stalking time-travelers called the Clockwork Killer. Time-travelers Jeff Smith (1st in Rip Hunter, Time Masters), Atom villain Chronos David Clinton, Waverider Matthew Ryder (Linear Men),and #Flash villain Abra Kadabra are all victimes of the killer Clockwork Killer. Meantime, Psycho Pirate Roger Hayden jailed, and he remembers a universe where the Flashpoint issues were resolved.

A Batman Bruce Wayne concludes in a Batcave in some universe being taunted by Time Masters Corky Baxter for "what he has done" to the Divine Continuum, and that the Time Masters are going to get Batman Bruce Wayne, and they will "change his future" as well.

A lot of people have read Flashpoint, Justice League Incarnate, which you pretty much need to know to understand the story. I would also recommend re-reading: Flashpoint: Batman - Knight of Vengeance by Brian Azzarello, as it recounts the last part of Thomas Wayne's universe... before the Aquaman/Amazon war which took over in the main Flashpoint series.

As one reviewer wrote: "this feels like it could be issue #4 of Batman: Knight of Vengeance."

Pure Garbage

It looks like the book has run out of what little steam it had as a series by issue #10...This series isn't progressing or going anywhere interesting it seems. The art is also laughably bad.

This comic is fan fiction garbage. Bendis and Taylor completely ruined Jon Kent.

Completely mediocre.

Eww

Looks like Taylor only knows how to write when Nightwing is in the story
