Metropolis Mailbag: Flash blog?
justerino asked:
I discovered this your tumblr through the recent Cracked article you wrote, and I love both of them dearly. My question is: would it be ok for me to start a similar blog covering Vol 2 of The Flash, as there is equal insanity to be found there (I.e. Chunk, a morbidly obese character who somehow absorbed a matter displacer, and "eats" Flash' sending him to a Road Warrior-like wasteland dimension) ?
Sure, go ahead! There are lots of 80’s/90’s series I’d like to tackle after I’m done with Superman, in the year 2459, but Flash vol. 2 (which I love) is the one I’ll never do… because I already sort of covered it when I was writing for Comics Bulletin: http://comicsbulletin.com/author/maxwell+yezpitelok+/
I stupidly set myself a 5-line word limit for talking about every issue, so I ended up just summing up the plot and not saying much else. It might still be worth checking out, though, because I somehow managed to get William Messner-Loebs himself to add extra comments about the issues he wrote. Anyway, I’m not satisfied with the way I covered that series but I wouldn’t do it again, so please go ahead! I’ll probably be a regular at your comments section.
