Our main cover is confusing, chaotic and clunky. It's so strange how I almost always enjoy Porter's interior work, but rarely his covers. I guess he just keeps trying to "go big" and it ends up a mess. Anyway, what we're looking at is the new villain Paradox allegedly erasing Barry, Wallace and Avery from time. Wallace and Avery aren't even in this story, but neither is Bart, and yet here we are.
Bart's cameo comes in the form of a bust in the halls of the Flash Museum in Central City. Porter can never resist including every member of the Flash family in his museum scenes. Even when it doesn't make sense. I'd love to see a scene of somebody looking at all the Jay Garrick, Max Mercury and Bart Allen stuff and wondering who the heck those guys were supposed to be.
So yeah, Paradox sent Barry away to a heaven-like prison, while he battles Godspeed in the Flash Museum. And Impulse is still nowhere to be found. It's been almost a full two years after Williamson started teasing Impulse in the pages of The Flash, and we're still not there. It is rather ironic that fans of the fastest boy on Earth must also be the most patient fans on Earth.
Here are the new house ads:
Punchline has arrived in Gotham — and the joke's on Batman! Batman #92, drawn by Jorge Jimenez, who was named the Artist of the Year on this blog four times.
Batman: Last Knight on Earth. Scott Snyder's and Greg Capullo's final Batman epic is the Dark Knight's last stand!
The DC Nation Spotlight is on Punchline, with quotes from writer James Tynion IV and artist Jorge Jimenez.
Next time, we'll finally wrap up that dreadful assault on Metropolis in Action Comics #1021.
