I suppose it did help drive the plot for Kid Flash, but it would've been cool if she had been there a bit longer for the ride. Though as you also noted, she did managed to make one heroic move to give Bart a chance to save the future.<br /><br />My only hope would be that Patty returns as Hot Pursuit, perferably without dying.Gears107https://www.blogger.com/profile/13368118319752570936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-25199770406447073522011-08-05T15:40:45.692-04:002011-08-05T15:40:45.692-04:00While there is a market for the dark, dreary, real...While there is a market for the dark, dreary, realistic literature be they books or comic books. The majority these days are wanting to find uplifting, positive stories. <br /><br />Our own world is getting darker all of the time from politics to the economy to unemployment over 9%.<br /><br />Your tone reminds me of the character of Carrie from the sitcom King of Queens. <br />When people are happy and satisfied with their lives around her she is quietly miserable about it. BUT when everyone around Carrie is sad, depressed and MISERABLE around her. She becomes her happiest, her cheeriest and she gloats about their misery.valerie21601http://www.fanfiction.net/~valerie21601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-84660017239686068522011-08-04T14:17:04.236-04:002011-08-04T14:17:04.236-04:00I haven't purchased any of the new Flashpoint ...I haven't purchased any of the new Flashpoint stuff, but I love what I hear about the new DCU.<br /><br />I think DC will gain a lot of new readers, but, perhaps, lose some of the old ones. People have, for a long time, escaped to things like Oedipus Rex, the Iliad, Raymond Chandler, and countless other works that are not "lighthearted". A lot of people don't want to escape to the world of Amelia Bedelia. Generally, when characters have more depth, the world is more realistic-- not black and white, the best writing comes about. Watchmen, Batman: Year One and Darkknight Returns are not lighthearted, "old-fashioned fun" stories. There is a good reason why they are given much more praise than 50's Supergirl stories. Better/more complex writing.<br /><br />I am looking forward to this. The new Supergirl and the Action Comics Superman sound like such huge improvements over the way the characters have been portrayed the past 4 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-67941126188180175582011-08-04T10:52:03.278-04:002011-08-04T10:52:03.278-04:00While I am not buying ANY of the Flashpoint comics...While I am not buying ANY of the Flashpoint comics I am lucky that my local comic shop owner is letting me read some of the Flashpoint comics in his shop. <br /><br /><br />I have to say I really don't like the world of Flashpoint. It's cold, dreary, hopeless and no hope for tomorrow.<br /><br />I know the "world will change in a flash" and into the DCnU world at the end of this series. From what I have read about this DCnU solicits it sounds like its turning into the world of Flashpoint on many levels and in many ways.<br /><br />If DC really takes the path of a cold, heartless reality. They will lose a lot of new readers and not just old fans. After all comic book readers read comics to get away from reality for a brief while, want to get feel cold and depressed just watch the news for a half hour.valerie21601http://www.fanfiction.net/~valerie21601noreply@blogger.com
