The Flash #21 Review

Release Date: July 12, 2017

Cover Price: $2.99 

The Flash has kind of had a rough year. Not that the book is bad, far from it; The book is phenomenal. What I actually mean is that the Flash's life has been rough. He gets a new force of speedsters to train, only for them to either lose their powers, die, or vanish in the case of budding love interest Mina in the attack from Godspeed. He faced the criminal organization, Black Hole, witnessed the return of The Rogues, entered The Shade's realm of shadows, investigated the murder of his greatest foe, Reverse Flash, and now has witnessed his rebirth. As I said, a VERY rough year.

So what is the Reverse Flash's goals this time around? The same as always, destroy his life of course! Step one was to kidnap the love of his life, Iris West. Step two was to reveal his identity to said love interest. It's now time to see the aftermath of this event and honestly, I don't think it can get much worse... Right?

Titans #13 Review

Writer: Dan Abnett

Release Date: July 12, 2017

Cover Price: $3.99 

The Titans series might be one of, if not the, best series in the Rebirth line up. It has relatable characters, epic action, FANTASTIC art etc. I never thought I missed a team up like this, yet it's always near the top of my must have comic list. The only negative I have had with the series was during the Lazarus Contract and it really pertained to their teen counterparts.

In the wake of the Lazarus Contract, the heart of the Titans has been shaken. Wally West, The Flash, has had his heart damaged in the past, meaning if he runs too fast, his heart could fail him. In that vulnerable state, love has blossomed amongst the team. Wally and Donna find each other, breaking Roy's heart, while Lillith grew close to Garth. Lillith also learned that one of the Titans will betray the team. Who will it be? Let's find out how the team handles this revelation!
