Review: The Flash #751

“The Flash Age”  – Part Two
Writer: Josh Williamson
Artist: Christian Duce
Color Artists: Luis Guerrero and Hi-Fi
Letterer: Steve Wands
Review by Jim Bennett
The Flash #751 jumps straight into the action, following on from the end of #750 with Godspeed leading Barry to Paradox, who then forces the two speedsters to fight! Meanwhile, Iris is trying to find any info she can out about Paradox from Commander Cold in the Flash Museum, but all is not what it seems.

 In a twist, August (Godspeed) then turns on Paradox to team up with The Flash. Sadly, even their combined forces aren’t enough to defeat the new big bad, and both are dealt with fairly quickly. Barry then gets caught in Paradox’s beam and wakes up in a field… with his mum?!?
While all this taking place, Iris discovers that they’re going to need help from the only person in time to ever defeat Paradox, The Reverse-Flash!

Conclusion

This issue was awesome! I love a full on battle in comics, especially when it involves speedsters, but with Iris doing her thing at the same time, it’s everything I love about the Flash! The artwork is great, as Christian Duce really gets Barry and August, so their looks are perfect. However, my favourite thing is how Iris is drawn in this issue, and the one panel where she’s screaming Barry is just amazing, giving us all the emotion you’d expect.
Overall #751 is a fun issue in this building story and really makes me want to read the next one. This is the sign of a great comic, so bring on The Flash Age Part 3!

“George R.R. Martin Presents: Wild Cards: Now And Then” Writer: Carrie Vaughn Artist: Renae De Liz Inker and Color Artist: Ray Dillon Book Designer and Letterer: Thomas Napolitano Wild Cards: The Drawing of Cards  excerpt written by Paul Cornell, penciled by Mike Hawthorne and Enid Balám, inked by Adriano De Benedetto and Lee Townsend, colored by Ruth Redmond, and lettered by VC’s Cory Petit Published by Bantam Books and Available from Penguin Random House Review by Steve J. Ray Wild Cards: Now And Then  is a brand new graphic novel based in an alternate reality and shared universe co-created by George R.R. Martin, the man behind the now legendary  Game Of Thrones  TV show, and the books that inspired them. This alone makes this book intriguing, but the writing, art, colors, design, and lettering by the amazing creative team would still make this volume an essential purchase, whether Martin’s name appeared on the cover, or not. I’ve not played the game, or read any of the thirty-plus W

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from
