Absolute flash #1
writer: Jeff Lemire
artist: Nick Robles
Colorist: Adriano Lucas
letter: Tom Naples
Cover Artist: Nick Robles
In many ways, Absolute flash It is the first real test of the absolute concept. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are relatively simple sellers with natural abilities or no power (unless you consider Super Rich as a superpower). However, the flash has more moving parts than just how the average person gets super speed. Some might expect Barry Allen and even Jay Garrick to be the absolute flash of DC, but the decision to play Wally West feels like a bold move: What happens to the ultimate traditional hero in a universe without legacy? With this week’s Absolute flash #1, Jeff Lemire,,,,, Nick Robles, Adriano Lucas and Tom Naples The first release question sparked a lot of mysteries and teasing, and started answering this question, or at least started answering it.
Origin stories can be a barrier at times, but Lemire, Robles and Co. In a wise manner, he jumped around in time between the day he already had his own abilities and the day two days ago. Time must make the story include some action today while providing important backstory in flashbacks. It also means that time beats may be related to Wally’s abilities, not just storytelling skills, so it would be fun to see how this works.
As for the teenager Wally himself, he was outside the red-haired mop at first glance, and he was largely unrecognizable compared to his mainline DCU. The introverted Army boy, Wally, struggles with making relationships, and he is especially unable to connect with his military father, who tries to raise him alone after Wally’s mother dies. Wally finds friendship among young scientist Barry Allen at the military base, and in a little bit of symmetry, it is clearly a catalyst for Wally’s future superheroes. It’s not the foundation of unfamiliar storytelling, all characters fit into familiar prototypes – rebellious teenagers, domineering fathers, cool external adult characters – but it’s a springboard for storytelling.
If there is a characteristic that absolutely Wally shares with the original Wally, it is also a characteristic that makes them both very relevant: he is lonely, and he is looking for his place in the world. For the original Wally, it was the sole member of the Flash Fan Club in Blue Valley, Nebraska; for the absolute Wally, it was an anxious child forced to walk around a lot. The traps are different, but the essence of the speed Wally is the same, one can imagine that his power will be as the series develops, ultimately giving him his purpose.
Absolute flash #1 is a characteristic question with a lot of conversation and a lot of emotions, and Robles and Lucas handle it well. Robles’s character is emotional and has a unique body. Wally’s father hits a grand figure while Barry’s manner is laid back and open. Wally himself was quiet and closed, hiding under his hoodie and stuffed his hands into his pocket. Lucas has a rather soft color in the championship scene, which brightens the power of Wally’s thriving thriving in today’s sequence.
Unlike the previous absolute title, Absolute flash Not totally running (pun is absolute intention). The first issue lays a lot of foundation for future events, sowing relationships and unexplored mysteries. It wasn’t the most exciting debut, but it was certainly fun, and this version of Wally immediately became a compelling leader. If the series can push and further build characters and their relationships, then this has the potential to be the best absolute title to date.
Final judgment: purchase.
round up
- It’s been a very powerful week for the DC version, so we’re going to hit some highlights. Batman and Robin: Year 1 #6 Bring Mark Wyder,,,,, Chris Samnee,,,,, Matheus Lopesand Clayton CowlesIn a vibrant duo, it tells a midpoint, which is a problem, and like on the boy’s cover, the team found some kind of balance. It’s full of action and character drives, which are the best questions in the series.
- This week there is a book of three small books, and the other two intersect in unexpected ways. Batman/Superman: The Best in the World #37 with Adrien Gutiérrez,,,,, Matt Hessand Steve Magic Package the current Aquaman-centric arc as this series, and WAID, Bryan Hitch,,,,, Kevin Nowlan,,,,, David Barronand Richard Starkings and Tyler Smith‘ Superman: The Doomsday of Lex Luthor #2 brought back the Black Label series on nearly two years of issues, a problem that led Superman to continue to seek treatment for Lex’s mysterious illness, while elsewhere is Atlantis. Lori Lemaris fans were having a great meal there.
