This series seems rushed and chaotic for such an important story.

This series seems rushed and chaotic for such an important story.

I disagree. Its just fast paced and a lot of things are happening at once. Its because its more of an adventure story than anything else.

Wally West fans, take heed...

A fan asked what's going on with former Flash Wally West in the New 52. "Wait and see," was the general response, with Wayne directing fans to the New 52 panel later in the day. Gates added that "Wally will show up in 'Kid Flash' #3, and not in the way you expect."

Add in his appearance in Teen Titans #2 to the Wally West return appearances list. That's at least 2 books where you can get your Wally West fix.

That would be because there aren't enough pages in each issue. I don't know if anyone else has been counting, but #1 was 35 pages, #2 was 22 pages, and #3 was 26 pages. Which explains why #1 was the only issue that seemed to move at a decent pace and get as much done as it should. If the other two issues had been that long, that'd be 21 more pages of story than we have now, which is an entire normal issue. Instead, the pacing is crippled.

I agree. Especially issue #3. That was the best one yet. It's nice to read a book that actually gets better as it goes along, LOL. Sadly, not a lot of series can say that. This book can.

Appearance = how many panels?

I've found the flow of Flashpoint (ignoring the minis) so far to be fairly smooth and quick. I think a lot of hype has been made about the Aquaman/Wonder Woman war, but that is dealt with entirely in the mini (as all the minis are telling their own seperate stand alone stories) but seems to really simply be the state of the Flashpoint world. The Flashpoint story is the story of Barry and his mission to fix things. Again, everything else happening in the world is there for those interested but without it, the main story stands very strongly on its own.

Appearance = how many panels?

And what context? For all we know it could be one panel of Bart reminiscing about people who don't exist anymore because he remembers the pre-Flashpoint timeline.

Hopefully the first is the worst cause that was a lousy panel.

I wouldn't be surprised dc would do that so there no question Barry is flash. No more questions on Wally even though most fans want Wally then they want Barry. See poll on this message board. If I was still glass half full guy I say he is the surprise help in the issue.

Appearance = how many panels?

I`m betting no more than 2. In a Flashback or something.

I wonder how Wally will appear i mean if Jason can be a priest.
