Review: Flash Rebirth # 4

by benny on August 31, 2009

I also hate the definition of himself, either as a “man Marvel” or “type DC.” It really should be of great stories, right? I mean, what is the difference?

Well, I think Flash: Rebirth is a good example of the difference. I do not understand this comic in a lot of ways, and I do not understand, because the logic of “Geoff Johns” in history. There are things happening in this book that I can not understand.

On the one hand there is the Speed Force. All flashes and several sprinters get their power from it, so it’s an energy. Bad, because the speed of the Force is also a place you can visit running very, very, very, very fast. (Apparently, most problems can be solved by running fast, who knows?) In addition, you can only escape from the Speed Force if you have a loved one somewhere. Once again, eh?

This is just the tip of the iceberg, and I will not list all my confusion here, because that’s why I am a person of Marvel. I can find fault with this science, but I admit that Johns has exploited a method of Silver Age ideas give an explanation of the modern age (and I mean not only the bow tie).

Despite my inability to adapt instantly to writing, I admit that the revival is a fun book. Issue # 4 specifically has stuck with me and has more to do with art than anything else.

When I first heard that Green Lantern: Rebirth was receiving the Absolute treatment, I thought no one would lose $ 75 in 6 issues worth of stories. However, after really looking at art that Ethan Van Sciver has done, I can understand why anyone would pay big bucks to be large.

Flash: Rebirth is no different. Van Sciver is doing many things well, it’s easy to overlook the hundreds of rays emanating from each panel. Van Sciver is playing with the designs, really instil the concept of “speed” on their pages.

Van Sciver also has some striking full-page spreads that show really the energy from these characters sprinter. Check out the inverse Flash pages and can not avoid the feeling of a character moves in three places at once.

There is a particular scene of the mine since the number 4 is my favorite. Flash twins are annoying, as always, and Flash Reverse appears out of nowhere to be all evil and everything else. Van Sciver put such fear in the face of Irey, girls, I stopped reading and stared at the panel for a moment. His facial expression is dead on.

Moreover, at this stage, the child Jai is playing on Xbox Live. Is anyone listening here? Should I assume that there HeadShotKilla420 in the DCU is basically listening to the secrets of the family of Flash?

If you are intrigued by my description of Van Sciver art to date, just do a Google search for the covers of Flash: Rebirth. Each one is exciting and vibrant, and this is exactly how you feel inside.

I have rarely won for art instead of writing, and when I’m really trying to take notice. Do you have something special going on here Van Sciver, and I recommend you go take a peak for yourself.
