Well, if you've heard the news, it's all a moot point. Bart had been around for a long time, I felt fairly confident he would come into his own and the writers would get into a groove with who they wanted him to be and where they wanted to take him. I thought it was a nice intro to a new series with some interesting plot points, art ranging from the very good to the serviceable, and while Bart wasn't as fun as he use to be as Impulse, or, to a lesser degree, Kid Flash, he also seemed to bring an interesting perspective to the character that I felt would be interesting to follow.ĭid I like Bart as much as Wally? No, but once upon a time I didn't like Wally as much as Barry, and that changed in the early nineties when I was in high school. Granted, it's not up to the level of Geoff Johns' or Mark Waid's run, but those guys are seasoned all-stars. Oh, but the fanboys cried havoc! I kept hearing the news series was terrible Bilson and Demeo, the new writers, didn't have a clue what they were doing. I love the character of the Flash, no matter who's in the mask, so I was going to stick with it. I didn't see the point in tossing Wally aside, but I also had faith that Bart would come into his own one day. After all, Wally was once Kid Flash, and he had to step into Barry Allen's boots, and, though it took many years, he eventually became a top-tier character in terms of roundedness and dynamic. So, even though I didn't understand why they were relieving Wally of his duties, I also didn't get very upset about it. What initially put Wally on the path to greatness, after a bit of a rocky start, was Mark Waid's fun and fanciful writing, and Johns just kept that sprint moving. I didn't understand why they ended one of my all-time favorite runs with Geoff Johns' Wally West as the Flash. When this new series began, I honestly didn't get it. I promise you, the recent news did not alter my thoughts on this work whatsoever. um, I swear I've been meaning to write a review of this collection for about a month now, and just when I sat down yesterday to write it, well, we got some news about Bart Allen and The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive Issue #13.
