PotD: MT week: part 6

The last one today, so yeah. New images will start Monday probably, looking for a lazy/review weekend this time...

Anyone know which Flash this is? I always get confused by em >.<

  1. That's definitely Wally West. I even(kind of)remember what storyline that scene is from. It has something to do with Wally hiding his identity from the JLA. I'm not sure which issue it's from, but I do know it was written by Geoff Johns.

  2. Cool, cheers for that. Wouldn't of got that, can't remember the last time Hawkman was even on the Justice League...

    Must be late-ish in the run though, before it got cancelled after the Crisis...

  3. Yeah, it was probably towards the middle/end of Geoff's Flash run(late 100's-early 200's). That's pretty much how I keep everything in line in my head, I just try to remember who wrote what comic when. Most of the time I can look at the cover of a comic I've read and name the writer, but I'll have no idea what issue # it is.

  4. Ahhh, it would be an actual Flash comic and not a JLA one then?

    See, I don't remember alot of the covers of old comics as I read em in the TPB/THB, and so don't really pay that much attention to them.

  5. Yup, it was definitely a Flash cover. I'm positive of that.

    I can totally understand that. Many trades don't even have the covers until the very end of the book, so there's no way to connect a certain cover to a certain issue.

  6. Exactly - I prefer when they do put them with the issue, but sometimes issues have like 5 covers or so, and that's a bit much...

    Or you get really, not generic, but covers not really to do with the issues, like the ones near the end of the actual GA run before it become GA/BC... They didn't really have anything to do with what happened on the inside, save, you know, it had Green Arrow on it.

  7. Yeah, covers that have nothing to do with what's going on inside the comic would have to be another one of my comic related pet-peeves. For example, during the recent Teen Titans BN x-over issues, one of the covers had all of the dead Titans on the cover running away from Titans tower. On the inside, not a single one of those characters appeared! Instead, the story revolved around Deathstroke and his family.

    A lot of comics from both Marvel and DC do that now. They'll just put something that has nothing at all to do with the story on the cover, or just a random character piece.

  8. Yeah, it is annoying. I mean, some stories have had random covers, like Ink, cause they were mini-series, while others, like the Great Ten have not really that related covers, save it shows what character they're focusing on this time. Which works...
    Unfortunately, Green Arrows run did have alot of covers with him just shooting something, always near the beginning of a new artists run. Doh...
