Wally West Set to Appear in the New 52

Fans have been clamoring for the return of Wally West (the second Flash and first Kid Flash from DC Comics) ever since the New 52 Reboot; and today we get exciting news, they are officially bringing him back.

USA Today provides some news for the return of the former Kid Flash. According to the scoop, Wally West will be appearing in issue number 30 of The Flash ongoing. The issue will be written by Green Lantern writer Robert Vendetti together with co-writer Van Jensen and artist Brett Booth.

Here's the cover for The Flash # 30:

The Flash by Brett Booth

Despite my excitement for the prospect of seeing Wally in the books again (I grew up with Wally as the Flash, thus making him MY Flash), there's this air of uncertainty seeing how DC Comics is doing a terrible job at 'reinventing' their characters. Case-in-point, the new back story for Bart Allen which is currently being told in Teen Titans # 25 - 27.

Update: I think we have what appears to be Wally's new costume...

Green Lantern # 24 Spoilers

A couple of Major spoilers from this week's Green Lantern # 24 written by Robert Venditti with art by Billy Tan.

First off LIGHTS OUT officially begins and it's the first encounter between Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps against the ginormous Relic.

In true Galactus fashion, Relic releases his 'energy ticks' that proceeds to suck every Green energy in Oa.

Which sucks out the power from all the rings in Oa as well as the power batteries in Oa's vault...



... and when everything was consumed, Relic's ticks went straight for the Central Battery



The drain results in the explosion of the power battery...

Which doesn't seem so bad until Salaak reveals that the central battery was connected to Oa's core. An explosion like this will cause a chain reaction to the core...



That's how you officially start LIGHTS OUT in GREEN LANTERN.

Green Lantern # 21 Review

Reviewing Green Lantern # 21 written by Robert Venditti with art by Billy Tan

The latest issue of Green Lantern takes all that's good and awesome about Geoff Johns and plays with it without damaging anything important. Props to Venditti for staying with the established continuity for the book i.e. Hal and the Green Lantern Corp is trying to pick up the pieces after the wanton destruction that happened in 'Wrath of the First Lantern'. At the same time some minor changes are being established here and there such as Salaak resigning from his post; Kilowog taking Salaak's position and more.

Billy Tan's Art Actually Fits Green Lantern # 21
