Sorry, gang, no real post today. Time got away from me.
However, I wanted to issue a correction…it appears I will be buying four comics this week, despite previous statements to the contrary, as I somehow missed that the new issue of The Muppet Show is coming out. Man, the Muppet comics…Boom! Studios has got a good thing going, here.
Plus, I can feel myself beginning to waffle on the whole “should I buy Flash or not” thing. So I’m going to settle it the old-fashioned way…let you, the people, decide!
IF MIKE SHOULD BUY THE NEW ISSUE OF THE FLASH, VOTE “YES” IN THE COMMENTS – IF NOT, VOTE “NO.” I shall abide by your decision by the time I leave work today (6 PM Pacific time).
Let your voice be heard!
If I have to buy it, you have to buy it.
I say no… Flash hasn’t been right for a long time. I’m still of the opinion that Barry shoulda stayed dead, Bart shoulda stayed Kid Flash and the twins were never a concept ever.
No. Barry is a better dead hero than a re-live one.
No. DC has ruined FLASH.
No! Reread your Waid Flash issues instead.
Yes. Whatever it takes to get Francis Manapul more work.
No, and ditto what Erik said.
No. The pointlessest of all the pointless Johns Bronze Age restorations.
Vote “No” for Johns Flash on Comics Day.
No. I haven’t picked up the new series, but all his appearances to date have the character almost obsessively concerned about the past. Compare that to GL, where the character acknowledges past events while still moving forward.
Yes. Just to be different. And because I like Geoff Johns.
…and because you should support your local comic book store Mike! :) :)
(that means buying as many comic books as possible)
No, and ditto what Jacob said.
No. Don’t encourage this behaviour with sales.
No,because Barry Allen dont drink.
yeah go ‘head. cmon. it’s not going to hurt.
YES! What’s with all the Flash hate? Captain Cold! The new characters at the police station! It’s more about the hate for Captain Boomerang’s new hat.
No. Better dead than read.
I have no opinion either way (haven’t read Flash since the 80s) but I really like ian warren’s comment.
No. Save your money.
no opinion. I wouldn’t if I were you. But I’m not you.
YES, because you’re a winner, Mike!
Yes, if for nothing else than to show some support for the dying $3 book!
I guess it doesn’t hurt that it’s actually good too.
No. Barry had been a total bore since he came back.
Just sit on the floor in front of the rack and read it then put it back. Make sure you do this at your peak time, though.
No. If you are questioning buying it, then you really don’t need it…
Why buy it when you can just walk into your local comic book shelf, read it for free then walk out?
shop even…
No.
No. Save your money and buy a Swamp Thing Trade or back issue.
You’ll get more enjoyment, and thank me later.
No.
YES! Do it or I’ll never come back.
No. Unless it has Swamp Thing in a guest appearance. Of course, I’m on the non-superhero comic side of the spectrum, so you know from whence I come.
Yes, but only because Francis Manapul deserves your money.
Hell, no! It’s just another Flash in the pan. Vote SWAMP THING with your wallet. Save your money for the new SWAMP THING series (whatever it turns out to be) and Swampy-centric guest-shots and team-ups in both the DCU and Vertigo.
Nope. Save your money for something you’re excited about, not something you’re waffling on.
No.
I can’t believe you’re wasting your money on this funny book nonsense.
Yes, of course.
Yes. I like Geoff Johns revamps.
roll a six sided die 1-3 is yes 4-6 is no.
Add plus one to your roll if you’re drinking a diet coke with a straw!
IS THAT A “YES” OR A “NO,” AARON TABERNACLE CORNELIUS
The fastest man alive you won’t be reading about.
No. I will suffer for both of us.
Yes.
No fan of Barry, but Francis Manapul’s work should be supported wherever he does it. Best looking DC book of the month, easily.
Buy it. That way, you won’t have to pick up the TPB’s to catch up when Flashpoint hits next year.
So i rolled a 4 plus your diet coke modifier. So that’s a NO, or a NOT BUY!
No, because I googled Francis Manapul since a few people seemed to think he was something special and um…no.
No. Buy another Boom! comic instead.
No, Barry should have stayed dead and Wally West is the real Flash.
Reread the John Broome issues instead.
Just recently found you and am loving your blog Mike…BTW, Yes go on and buy it.
I’m kinda’ on the fence with the series myself but trying to be confident that it will pick up.
NO! Save your money for breath mints…. hooo boy!
Is there something wrong with this page? The #comments says there are 53 posts, but I only see 3.
I vote you beat the Flash comic to death with a crowbar
Disregard that, I’m a dope. I only just saw the older comments button, and assumed the page loaded wrong for me.
I’ve no opinion regarding the Flash issue, but I’m surprised you are not picking up the newest issue of Unknown Soldier, drawn by guest artist Rick Veitch….
No. Buy a Foster’s Oil can and a pack of gum instead
I don’t much care whether you buy the Flash or not. I’m too depressed about having forgotten to pick up The Muppet Show.
I say get it, but I’ve really liked the last two issues, so…
No.
I recommend you buy Secret Six or Atlas instead, if you’re not already reading those books.
