Spoilers for Flash #800!

This is a textless advance preview from next month's extravaganza issue, and you can see the rest of the pages at Adventures In Poor Taste.

Here are the stories and creators which will be in the issue:

“Don’t Come to Central City” by Jeremy Adams, Fernando Pasarin, Oclair Albert, and Matt Herms — Villains swap stories over a poker game about what makes committing crime in the Flash’s town so difficult. “The Max In The Mirror” by Mark Waid, Todd Nauck, and Matt Herms – This flashback tale set during Mark Waid’s IMPULSE run tells an untold story of The Flash & Max Mercury trapped by Mirror Master, and only Impulse can free the speedsters! “Flash Family” by Joshua Williamson, Carmine Di Giandomenico, and Ivan Plascencia – Barry Allen uses the Cosmic Treadmill to take Iris on a very special trip. “Blitz Back” by Geoff Johns, Scott Kolins, and Luis Guerrero – Hunter Zolomon has been trapped in the Speed Force, and thinks he’s found a way out. “Between Me and You” by Simon Spurrier, Mike Deodato, Jr., and Trish Mulvihill – While heading to Date Night with Linda, Wally West encounters a massively powered up Mirror Master, just as the Scarlet Speedster’s powers seem to be glitching.

Interesting to see a return to Hunter's shenanigans, and it looks like incoming writer Spurrier won't be completely ignoring the Rogues in his 'cosmic horror' era.

Kind of a bummer that the poker villains aren't Rogues, but maybe they'll have an appreciation for the villains who do operate in Central City!

Flash thoughts 9x03

Okay, things are really heating up! (no pun intended, what with a heat-based meta appearing this week and all)

This was a really fun episode. I’m not personally invested in the Flash’s rogues but I know a lot of folks are, so i hope they’re enjoying this season cuz it’s going all in. This episode was delightfully comic-book-y. Great banter, fun camp, a little macgunffin-ish type thing, and a smidge of pathos to tie it all together.

was this the best episode? Nah. Not really any standout emotional moments or big reveals (i know there’s the ending, but we’ll get there) or anything, and it definitely doesn’t hit the heights of the previous episode's ethical core, but it was really fun, and it progressed the plot well along the way--so not a waste of time in my book. 

Hartley is delightfully smug, Goldface is campy fun as always, and Jago is a delight in his Regular Guy-ness--with the nuance of his son in the picture as well of course. (side note, the flirting between him and Fiddler was a lot of fun)

It was pretty clear Mark was heading down the path of teaming up with red death but i didn’t expect him to get there so quickly (damn you shorter episode count). Still, i think it works. 

Anyways the whole heist thing with Barry in a bit of a gray area was really fun. And yeah, while Barry has every right not to trust Goldface--or even Mark at this point--Hartley and Jago definitely didn’t deserve to be lumped in with them. Especially Jago, as he rightfully points out to Barry. It’s funny that these Rogues knew every one of them was going to try and steal it for themselves, but since they were all on the same page there they could kind of “trust” each other to be selfish. they knew exactly where each other stood. Barry would have tried to stop ALL of them, so they couldn’t couldn’t on him the same way.

Side note, I’m glad Barry’s “i have to give them a reason to trust me first” instinct wasn't to reveal his identity YET AGAIN. Probably only because half of them already knew it, but still--it was refreshing for him to try and figure some other way to get people to trust him. Plus the fact that the other two figured it out anyway was actually a lot more fun.

The Allegra and Chester thing has been going on for a while now, and while i didn’t love it in the beginning i have to say it’s grown on me. they’ve taken their time, had these two build up a rapport and a regular social life together outside star labs, and really leaned into the actor’s chemistry together. I’ve always been found it odd just how averse they are to dating when they both are pretty clearly on the same page there, so I’m happy we’re at least getting Alelgra’s side to that conflict finally. 

Khione continues to shine with her piercing insights. I really like her. 

WestAllen is still being written better than anything pre-s8 imo.

There’s not as much meat to this episode so i don’t have as much to say, so let’s finish off talking about the red Death developments.

So yeah, look, I knew it was Ryan Wilder months ago. It was announced officially i think. That wasn’t really a reveal. The question is, why? The next time teaser hints that Barry believes it’s current day Ryan corrupted by the Negative Speed Force, but Eric Wallace has hinted at something much deeper than that in interviews--so for the time being, I’m sticking to my theory that this is Armageddon Ryan, and we’ll see present day earth prime Ryan in the very near future--perhaps kidnapped by the Red Death so she could take her place and Wayne Enterprises wouldn’t be answering to two Ryans? I dunno. 

but MAN it feels good to see Javicia Leslie back in the Arrowverse one last time. A little bit of a missed opportunity to not have her say “I am justice” as opposed to “I am Vengeance” cuz i really liked that she was saying “justice will be served” last episode, but maybe’s she’s conflated the two? We’ll see. I’m very intrigued to see Javicia’s villainous turn.

Spoilers for Flash #800!

These are the official lettered preview pages for the issue, which you can also see at Adventures In Poor Taste. Previous unlettered pages can be seen here and here.

The story is clearly set in current continuity, as the villains are talking about Jai and Irey using their recent codenames, so it seems that Goldface really is a criminal again. Maybe his union history was erased in Flashpoint.

You've got to feel bad for poor Count Vertigo and Condiment King...

Green Lantern Villain Movie Ideas, Part XII: Goldface

Keith Kenyon AKA Goldface is another of the more run-of-the-mill gimmick villains that aren't that interesting but good for filling up the rogues gallery. He was a treasure hunter who accidentally came across some gold covered in toxic waste (Because comics, obviously) and ended up developing golden skin. He has since embraced it, designing a liquid gold gun and giving himself golden armor.

Origin Movie: I'm not sure he ever faced Alan Scott, but he's definitely one I'd include in an Alan Scott movie.

Sequel Movie: Maybe in a procedural type series where Hal and Guy are partners patrolling Earth or something.

Finale Movie: Um, maybe in a more run-of-the-mill series with Hector and Doctor Polaris and stuff as the villains. Then again, Hector feels like the obvious finale pick in a series like that.

Supporting Villain: I kinda wish Green Lantern had a well-known squad of these types of villains running around.

Here are my rankings of them:

Supporting Villain: I want a team of these guys to work with so bad.

Sequel Movie: The most natural spot.

Origin Movie: Obviously Grundy is the better pick there, but still.

Finale Movie: Hector is very much the better pick for that.
